^ Because despite the technical definition, futanari are almost always drawn without female genitalia, thereby making them resemble, and be mistaken for, pre-op trans women, to an extent that most western viewers don't appreciate the difference. The problem there is that they are inherently cis women with dicks, skewing the assumption of most trans women's ability to "pass" (Yes I know that's offensive, it's in quotes and I'm using it to make a point about perception) to toxic levels.
It affects lesbians because, well, think about the ratio of good, realistic lesbian porn to "Let's slap a dick on one of them without a second thought because it's more interesting that way".
Maybe some of the lesbian portion is my personal experience, being an intersex lesbian (CAIS, so you basically can't know unless I tell you). The first time someone called me a "futanari" to my face, I fucking slapped them.
The fact that they are almost exclusively represented in porn is the problem. You can't leave aside porn, because that's 99%. If there were more honest, serious attempts like the one you mentioned, yes, it could be a positive thing, but there aren't.
