Who are the trolls?

It occurs to me that some of the trolls making fake DMCA reports are the people who want to flood this site with STRAIGHT content.
If I were straight, I would not want to see a bunch of guys fucking each other like bunnies. But since I am gay, I am perplexed why straight people come to a gay site to begin with, and why they post straight porn.
Yes, there are bisexuals, but bisexuals should be posting and downloading bisexual porn, not straight porn. Even I like to watch videos where some girl starts having sex with her boyfriend, when they find the girl's brother hiding under the bed or in the closet, and the boyfriend winds up fucking the brother while the sister watches in astonishment.

I wonder if this has something to do with the redefinition of the word gay. Since we now live in a world where people believe you can be female and gay (or male and lesbian) provided you identify that way, maybe some people are making an effort to oppose the same-sex paradigm of gay porn?
This is just a guess of course. It could be something else entirely.

Does it show somewhere who is reporting them, or are you just guessing? I have always assumed it was homophobes or something.
The straight porn doesn't make sense to me either, but I have to say -- if I was straight, I wouldn't be on a website called "Gay Torrent" to begin with.

@blittle the trolls are never identified.
A straight person on GAYtor.rent is like a guy being caught by his wife with a Hustler magazine, and he claims he only reads it for the political articles.

@blittle As I said it was purely a guess. I have no reason to believe this is actually the case. It just seems more plausible to me than homophobes doing this just to get under our skin. Given how many activists there are online pushing the notion that being gay has nothing to do with genitals (to accommodate those who identify as the opposite sex but haven't had surgery), I would not be surprised if some of that finds its way here. Some people really want to normalize that penis-in-vagina sex is gay sex too. Their entire identity depends on it.

But trans folks aren't our enemies. There's enough hate aimed at LGBTQ folks without us needing to add more by trying to use trans folks as scapegoats or (checks notes) spurious DMCA reports.

Maybe we hang out in different crowds, but none of the trans folks I know have ever advanced an argument like this? A person can identify as male regardless of their assigned genitals, but none has ever argued "videos of vaginal sex are gay porn!" to me or anyone I know.

@blittle I'm sorry, I wasn't really referring to transgender people. I don't want to scapegoat anyone either. This has already been more of a tangent than such a random thought warranted so I think I'll just leave it there before I dig myself a deeper hole.
