LOL, yeah. The author might just as well write, "I feel kinda guilty for finding a Nazi hot, so I'm doing this totally not obvious self-insert-thing where my so much prettier than me OC gets to do the Nazi". But the obvious self-insert is one of the many reasons I dislike even good het. Still, I see your point, and I can definitely see why these fics are unbearable even if you like het. I mean, I have absolutely no problem with innocence becoming seduced by male power - if it can make for awesome slash fic, and it can, it can probably also make for awesome het fic ... if it's done well and doesn't wallow in clichés. Then again, it's probably easier to write a good scenario of an innocent man/boy getting seduced by another man without falling into the abyss of clichés, than it is to write the same scenario with a young woman getting seduced by some man. Ah, no idea, I should stop speculating on things I know nothing about.
