I won't say it's a widespread trope, but it's definitely a recurring trope I've bumped into from several different furry porn artists where a character is bioluminescent, but it's specifically their glans, and now I'm trying to imagine what evolutionary scenario a brightly glowing cockhead could possibly be adaptive for.

One of my favorite things to write as an author is what I'm going to call a semi-productive conversation. aka a conversation where two characters who don't see eye to eye both completely fail to make their point– either speaking past each other or just lying straight through their teeth– but in the process one of them manages to come to some kind of realization about the other. Then, during the next disastrous conversation, that earlier realization gives them some pause and makes them say something different, leading the other to get their own small moment of understanding. You repeat this ad infinitum until after 50K words they finally have a talk that actually fucking goes somewhere.

Apart from being shitty about folks' identities, calling real people "bad representation" is a category error. People are the thing being represented. A person can no more be "bad representation" than a mountain can be inaccurate – if it's not on the map, the problem is the map!
