It’s not very surprising that butches aren’t seen widely. My sense is that a lot of butches themselves aren’t really clamoring to see characters that look like them and are fine with watching the same gaggle of femmes that entertain the wider public. A market that consists of only a percentage of the gay community is not worth going after in most cases.

I think I have a number of butch followers who would disagree on the nature of seeing themselves

OH ANON. You’ve really hit a button for me, there’s SO MUCH I want to say, but I’m on mobile so I’m gonna take a short cut and just say that there was literally a song about the importance of butches seeing themselves performed at last year’s Tony Awards. SEEING OURSELVES MEANS A LOT.
