honestly it's not because of the genderswap part. Genderswap, like most AUs, turn out to just be self-inserts and insert-OCs cosplaying as canon characters. You may go into it wanting to read an interesting, well-thought-out execution of an interesting premise but dollars to doughnuts the author only got as far as the "what if...?" part of the premise and answered the question with "they are me and will do and say and act exactly like me or an idealized version of me." I'll give the benefit of the doubt that a lot of fanfic writers don't intend the self-insert from the start but they're writing idfic anyway so it just happens naturally vs actually stopping to think about which things would have been different at which points in the character's life, how to manipulate past events so that their personality winds up more or less the same as canon, and how to form a story that accepts all of this as given without it being some sort of social commentary.

Or maybe the subconscious drive to write yourself as Tanya Stark overrides any good sense and even if you didn't mean to, your subconscious totally meant to all along.
