I don't think it's kinkshaming so much as wanting an author who is appropriating a minority's personal struggles to at least do a little research to portray a realistic experience instead of it just being a super awesome plot point. And it seems like OP has a good deal of frustration at "my culture does it this way so clearly it is the default" attitude that can be kind of prevalent. If you want to write homophobia there are plenty of viable fandoms for that, or AU's, to randomly write it into a material it isn't in is a little weird and off-putting for some of us.

Yeah, but where do you get to draw the line with that? Whose opinions are going to count? Who gets to police that sort of thing? And why does it have to portray a realistic experience especially when nothing else being portrayed is hyperrealistic?

The best way to deal with this is to simply avoid the writers who write things in a way you don't like, instead of trying to micromanage who can write what where and how. Fandom doesn't work that way -- it can't. And getting furious that it doesn't doesn't do any good except to make your fandom experience much worse that it would have been if you'd simply gone "yuck" and backarrowed.

I don't see anyone trying to ban this kind of writing. Just letting people know the inherent problems in what they are saying. I also just wanted to point out the difference in kinkshaming and pointing out problems in people's writing and characterizations considering a subject they don't seem familiar with when they are spreading a stereotype.
