You brought up a lot of points that had me agreeing. I did sign up for the h/c bingo, but a lot of the squares on my chart had me going *how do I write this and write it well?*.
I think if the h/c bingo had a wiki, like the kink bingo, in which all of the things on their cliche list were explained and explored, together with suggestions on how to write it respectfully, it would take care of a lot of the problems you list. If only because the chances of the fic being well written and thought out is larger if people have an easy to access place with accurate information.
Now that I think about it, that's probably why my first and to date only piece for this bingo has been a meta-piece...
