For one thing, I think agree with your differentiation between a kink and a joke. When it feels like it's being written as voyeurism kink, I think that's cool. Same for if the writer gives it an interesting take. When it seems like more like it's being played as a joke and taken for granted as cute and funny, I can see your issue with it.
The feeling I get from this trope sometimes is that Tosh is being used as a self-insert for the writer, and that feels kind of odd to me, too. (Of course, not all fics are like that.)
