But tossing around one-dimensional homophobia and rape because the plot's going nowhere/the characters need some angst out of the blue/etcetera is usually the most prominent aspect of lack of planning and bad writing. If it features in a fic, then it's usually bad!fic, because if you can't add anything but carboard cut-outs, then your writing probably sucks.

It's not saying that there should be some sort of police to chase these down, but it's becoming a tiresome stereotype and so people keep calling this lazy writing out on it. A good author can handle whatever topic they choose to tackle - hell, if I remember correctly, you wrote Tetris smut and you made it work - but bad authors seem to resort to these two cliches constantly. That doesn't mean the tropes should be kicked out of fandom, but the writers behind their misuse need some serious improvement.

Thing is, I got to be a good writer who can handle these things by once being a bad writer who couldn't. My old crap is not on the internet, it's on my computer, but I went through tons of poorly thought through tropes for drama before I got the writing maturity to get things right. Which is why I'm generous with bad writers. Practice helps. Writing through all the cheap and cheesy angst will pave the way for writing better angst later on. Not that all will, but you gotta start someplace.
