Maybe the nature of Furry as a safe space for self-exploration could be one thing that leads to the self-insert writing popping up so often. I could just be overthinking it.

Go for it. My issue is that I think this trope holds a lot of writers back. It is both very exposing and so can be emotionally more difficult to make progress on the work, and hard to separate your ego from the text and write flawed, nuanced, relatable characters. Hard to do right, easy to do wrong.
