PapaEmeritusIII , 10 months ago The test was never meant to be a metric for whether something is good or not. It’s meant to be a metric for representation of women in media. The test is based on this 1985 comic from Alison Bechdel’s “Dykes to Watch Out For”: https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/9fe9212e-b24f-4fec-8960-5ed1b73bf233.jpeg With that history in mind, I don’t think the fact that lesbian porn passes is a shortfall of the test. The test was created by lesbians, after all.
