In recent years, Compulsory Heterosexuality has become a popular discussion topic on the internet. In 2018 Angeli Luz published the now internet famous Am I a Lesbian MasterDoc on Tumblr, a 31 page essay detailing things such as a definition of comphet, signs of compulsory heterosexuality, and a breakdown of attraction vs comphet. This master doc also details the pressures of heteronormativity often felt by AFAB people. This essay resurfaced on entertainment website and app TikTok in early 2021, causing discusions and controversy around Compulsory Heterosexuality to begin circulating.

There are many movies and television shows that handle the topic of not only Compulsory Heterosexuality but also Heteronormativity. A popular movie example being the 1999 movie But Im a Cheerleader, who's director, Jamie Babbit, has confirmed that comphet and heteronormativity are themes that inspired her to put out this film.
