See 'goon's example of "textile porn." Or countless other examples of "______ porn" as a shorthand for, "Material aimed at people who are big fans of _______ with no other artistic value beyond pandering to those people." It's a pretty common turn of phrase and just because there happens to be another product that could also be described as such (though rarely uses that exact terminology) doesn't mean it's not an apt use.
