This 'theory' sounds like a slice of hot nonsense.

Well, you could actually explain why.

Your arguments are:

  • ‘Straight’ men actually want to sleep with trans women

  • There are more gay / bi men than we have been led to believe

Your claims are based on:

  • An episode of a fictional TV show you watched

Furthermore, the couple don’t live in an open marriage like you describe, with both of them sleeping around all they like. They allow themselves one day a year to sleep with other partners, in this case ‘dudebro’ and whoever the wife meets at a bar.

The two men meet up in real life to test whether they have feelings for each other, which they don’t. Both of them are quite clear on that fact. There is something about the game that makes the virtual sex ‘different’ to whatever they’re doing in real life, and the fact that both of them tried it with other partners, both virtual and real, without getting the same satisfaction, remains unexplained.

If anything, this is a story about two men who struggle with their sexuality and find an outlet for that in a virtual reality video game.

It is not proof that most straight men are incapable of attraction to, or love of, women.

Black Mirror also included an episode where a mother kept 24-hour surveillance on her daughter, forces her to abort her unborn baby, and then is beaten unconscious by said daughter. Are mothers even capable of letting their children do their own thing?

no, the argument is that this dynamic is found in virtual online spaces.
