Does "for women" here mean "for straight women?"

Also, I have to wonder if anyone who actually reads webcomics was involved in the production of this, because "professional quality" (read: hyperrealistic) art is not the selling point at all even for the decidedly NSFW ones.
Indeed, the people I know who read them are often heavily invested in the art quality and the creator themselves.
Just getting started so the content is limited
I’m more put-off by how it’s headed-up by two dudes… making fap-fiction… “for women”; right away that’s tone-deaf first impression (at best) - but if they’re more than just naive then I think we might have material for a Coffeezilla video right here.
I'm a woman. Female. Female engineer. I have a vagina and I write code.

All our creators, writers and artists are women.

I can only apologise.
Who would you expect to make that material?
I mean, the first "slashfic" (smut fiction starring two popular characters) was Kirk/Spock slashfic written in the 1960s by a woman. The majority of writers on AO3 are women or enbies.
Interesting. I probably would expect a cis female to enjoy the sender of such material to be a male, but I definitely stand to be enlightened on this.
