Not a bi woman but having seen and interacted with a lot of fujoshi I think I can explain:

They like it because they can project into the "feminine" men (whether that is literal GNCness or sexual "femininity" aka submission and/or being the "bottom") but at the same time, they are detached, so maybe some feel that there's not as much of an imbalance as heterosexual relationships, or they enjoy it as a "spectator" and not a self insert/being reminded of themselves. (Although a lot of gay content emulates heterosexual sexism and has "the woman of the relationship", one designated guy to be inferior and treated badly, so, I don't understand that viewpoint.)

For some it may also be still a little taboo and thus exciting, and/or online social media and communities viewing being gay as "cool" and straight as "boring" or even "oppressive", so they may turn to gay content in order to feel like they're still "cool" or interesting and not shunned by their peers. That is the main reason, i think. If modern media and the popular view didn't see homosexuality as cool, entertaining, "sassy," "brave" etc this wouldn't be as much of a thing.

im just confused because fundamentally, at their core, non lesbians are homophobic to the core in every dimension of their personality with their sexual tastes. Straight and bi women dont direct homophobia towards gay people as straight men do. Straight/bi women direct their homophobia towards their love interests because they have a fantasy of a super masculine, domineering guy and they have a sneering, hateful disgust of the slightest femininity within any type of man (especially their romantic partners) ...but then they run along to furiously masturbate to and fetishize feminine gay men? I just thought them indulging in this garbage would have made them less homophobic but apparently it has no effect on them? Theyre hiding something and not really explaining it and i guess its too awkward for them to say.

Straight men indulge in lesbian porn but the dynamic fits their homophobia and sexism perfectly in the way it manifests itself.
