Voyeurism is a kink; in some way, all porn and erotica can be seen as a form of voyeurism, no matter what medium it's being conveyed in. Tosh just happens to be a fangirl stand-in by default -- Gwen's got too strong of an emotional attachment to Jack (either romantic or otherwise, depends on your leanings) and Owen's too... Well, male. (which sounds more terrible than I intend it t) So the task falls to Toshiko, lonely and desperate for love, or at least a good thrill.
We all love a good Mary Sue, and hate the bad ones.
... And that's my unasked for two cents on the subject.
On a personal note, some of the voyeur!Tosh fics I like involve Jantosh, which removes the squick but keeps the kink. It's all, ultimately, a matter of set-up; for example, I hate noncon, but have no problem with BSDM. It's a fine line.
