The [demo PDF](https://github.com/Tongyi-MAI/Z-Image/blob/main/assets/Z-Ima...) has ~50 photos of attractive young women sitting/standing alone, and exactly two photos featuring young attractive men on their own.

It's incredibly clear who the devs assume the target market is.

They're correct. This tech, like much before it, is being driven by the base desires of extremely smart young men.

Something like >80% of men consume sexually explicit media. It's hardly limited to involuntarily celibate men.

It's not about consumption, it's about having a vast majority of your demo being sexy women instead of a balance.

I'm still not following. Ads for a pickup truck are probably more likely to feature towing a boat than ads for a hatchback even if they're both capable of towing boats. Because buyers of the former are more likely to use the vehicle for that purpose.

If a disproportionate share of users are using image generation for generating attractive women, why is it out of place to put commensurate focus on that use case in demos and other promotional material?

I think you would really need to show that's the case. I'm sure nano banana has a huge number of users not generating sexy women.
