Twin stereotypes/Twin rep in media

Like for instance how most twins in media always match, from clothes, to names, to personality to even speech, like they can't talk for themselves, and they have to act the same.
And in like smut where they have twin mls doing shit with the mc, this isn't hate against threesomes, I'm just generally confused on why you would want to fuck somedy with your sibling, but ig if its a twin it doesn't fully count bc their one person or whatever in some creators minds, or they just like twin incest who knows.
Anyways I just wished I saw better twin representation in media that didn't feel so dehumanizing in a way, or maybe I'm just being slightly overdramatic.
ugh yes bro, the identical twin plot feels sooo cliche and boring haha. whenever i see that i tend to just not read it, plus im just super picky in general.
i mean when it comes to smut and there’s twin mls it gets boring, but when it comes to things other than smut or BL i kind of enjoy it. They are identical, but i REALLY REALLY enjoy Migi an......
