Thank you for writing this, as it's a pretty good expression of my own issues with the h/c bingo challenge. It also seems to take a very narrow definition of what qualifies as h/c, without discussing people's assumptions of h/c or how else h/c as a genre can be interpreted, especially through the prompts that are most tied to real, and serious experiences.
I'm also not sure if those prompts are being presented or thought about by the challenge as anything other than common fandom cliches. At this point, it's just the major issues, and then just a lot of other minor issues that show that they maybe need to consider inclusiveness more than they have.
