You are absolutely not wrong. In fact, I love all of these ideas. I don't think it's a matter of gendered characters, I think it's a matter really of everything you've brought up in this response. Emotion and context over shock factor and celebrating the DEFINING MOMENTS of the action and using those images to stitch together the bare bones of a fantasy that can be built upon in the imagination. I mean, I think there are artists who already do most of these things and developing artists who are growing into their craft whose work will eventually come into this formation naturally.

I really love seeing developing artists who don't shy away from this kind of artwork. (It doesn't help that they get shamed out of doing it on Twitter or other places "purists" decide to rear their ugly heads.) So I don't think it's a matter of placing expectations down on artists but more like placing options and suggestions. Obviously artists should draw and write whatever makes THEM happy first and foremost. Sharing those creations helps find a common bond between human beings…now…of course, that sounds so pedantic in a discussion board on Gurochan of all places, but I truly believe it no matter the context.

With that all said, I think the preference of m/m or m/f or f/f guro is mainly based on the individual and so what I've described, the contextualization of guro images and the rich fantasy-driven sexualization of those images may, in fact, simply be my own individual "kink" or preference! But being a woman, and having spoken to and experienced many other works written and created by women, it seems that we've all got at least some level of that fantasy-generator in our heads that leads us toward requiring context for gratification. I mean…look at all the porn written by women for NBC's Hannibal and all the porn that is currently being created by women for Killing Eve…the genders don't seem to matter! It's all in the story!

Additionally, I love how you come at this very business-like and as though it is a problem to be solved! Very project manager-like of you! I think you've really got it, honestly, and there's nothing I have to add, I'm just being chatty. Although I should note that it's funny that you mention that female fantasy is like dreams: So many women DAYDREAM their fantasies and will build them over the course of an entire day to get them juuuust right so that the whole "movie" will play out later for the "fappening" as you call it. Since nobody can tell that a woman is aroused in the middle of work or school, we're daydreaming about freaky sex stuff practically all the time! And that's a pretty universal experience–not just me! So it's so funny that you should mention that!
