All right, this was long and went in a lot of different directions. I'm on my mobile device at work giving myself arthritis in the thumbs so I'm not able to address every single individual point that I disagree with or what further evidence of, so instead I've gotta "strawman" you for lack of a better term, break it down into simplified arguments and give my respond to them individually.

"Straight men saying they're turned on by two women together is ingenuine/signalling/a cope":

To give the most crude/grug counter argument straight away it doesn't really make any logical sense at all that I wouldn't enjoy seeing twice the tits, twice the ass, twice the vagina, twice the soft lips interacting in an erotic/sexual way. Two women together is basically the same as foreplay, what you do to get her revved up before going to home base and if revving her up also revs you up... I just don't even see how this could need explaining.

I don't remember any examples from my lived experience at all that would suggest a man has anything to gain from lying about this and I don't know who you're talking about on "the right" who also talks about this. The reason I've mentioned it on notes a few times is to play in the sandbox with everyone else talking about their fetishes and also to signal I'm not a sex-hating prude chud. It can serve is a good bludgeon against the left by revealing them to not be nearly as sex positive as they claim (look up what poly redditors say about "unicorn hunters") and it signals 90s playboy "hedonism for the boys". Those are the reasons ive brought it up at all, I'm not really big on sex talk unless someone else brings it up first.

I wouldn't argue it was "pushed" in the 90s. Pushed implies it was a conscious agenda. It was there but I think it was more of a fashion than an agenda. My interest in the idea definitely predates any exposure to actual porn, if there was any external origin it would have been Xena Warrior Princess. I do believe I thought about it even before I saw that show but I'm not going to claim that as an absolute fact because memory from that long ago is known to be unreliable.

Your best argument that heterosexual-man-enjoying-girl-on-girl is not natural or intuitive is that zoomers arent into it. I could NAXALT this so hard right now because exactly three hours before writing this my zoomer co-worker told me all about the time he had an MFF threesome and how his favorite part was watching the girls together. But of course, we don't naxalt here and you are correct that overall there's much less interest in this than there was in the past and greater interest in the past coincided with greater exposure to the idea in media.

My response to that is just because people are going to be more into something if they're exposed to it while they're developing doesnt mean theyre faking it to "prove theyre not gay" or whatever, doesnt mean theres nothing inherently appealing about it. If you compare it to hetero anal for example, theres obviously way more interest in that than there ever was in the past and there are people into it because they saw it in porn when they were 13 who in another timeline would find it disgusting. There are also statistical outliers who would have been into it regardless. And, most importantly, whether 5% or 95% of people positively to the idea, it can still be argued that it objectively makes sense to find the soft, tight, forbidden hole of a woman appealing. Same dynamic basically.

I'll address your other points and the dykes vs fags question in another comment below because this comment is already long and I want to quickly double check you didn't pre-emptively refute the points I'm going to make on that topic

Dude, you seem like a high-IQ guy with a genuinely interesting and unique take on things, but please tighten it up. Brevity is the soul of wit. I see a piece of yours and click on it and when I see that little slider on my screen signifying a long piece I click away again. Or I quit on it 10 minutes in when I still don’t know what your point is.
