What you're saying is true, but....swapping the roles can also be a way to get people to see the other side's point of view if done well.

For example the short movie on YT "Love is all you need" managed to get several comments of "Oh I get it now" from people who previously didn't get some things about LGBT rights/activism. The movie swapped the roles and then ended it with "this was based on the accounts of real bullying that LBGT teens went through." Basically "Hey you know the sad story in this movie, yeah this happens EVERY DAY to real kids.THAT'S why this is important"

It wasn't done as a way to stroke the egos of the people who were portrayed as victims in the story, it was done as a way to give them a wake up call. Unfortunate as it is some people won't get it until they are able to imagine it happening to them It may seem selfish or stupid but it at least fulfilled the goal of getting their attention and getting them to understand.

I agree that when done poorly this 'plot idea' can really deeply offend and hurt people, but there's a lot of other premises that can do that as well. Things like Stereotypes and the like. But I don't think that means the whole idea should be written off as "only ever a bad, self centered persecution fantasy and nothing more".
