There have been articles written on that subject, basically suggesting that one of the male partners is a mary-sue in disguise.

Most m/m authors don't take to that idea any better than most J/E authors have taken to the idea of possible self-insertion through the Elizabeth character.

And besides, 99+% of the people involved are writing for themselves (and/or a small group of like-minded friends) and don't want to hear the psychoanalysis - so it does tend to be outsiders, like this "dissenter," who are pointing at possible problems, without taking the time to involve the interested authors or readers. (The result being that the "research" goes nowhere.)
