Let's say it.
Writing a "x reader" and then adding a description on the appearence of the reader is doing the opposite of what you wanna do.
I'm precisely talking about ghost x reader fics, male, gn or female almost everyone does that.
If you want to do it, there's no problem but at least specify it somewhere. If it's because, you yourself, look like this, then specify it's a self-insert.
I personally think adding description cuts the vibe of the fic but also does not respect "reader's rule".
It does concern when you add about the skin color, the color of your lips, cheeks, all those kinds of things. It can be hard to take it out of your vocabulary as i myself made those mistakes before, but for sure it just does not include poc people, which is not fair for them let's be honest.
Besides that, the reader is supposed to be inclusive but also neutral. Not talking about gender (you should still specify it!), but about the appearance.
It is quite unnerving and displeasant when you've been reading the fic since a moment then you get hit by the "woman with a curve" or the "you were a bulky man".
It feels like, when you're reading a story, you're in the middle of it and suddenly they describe their main character's appearance. It quickly ruins the vibe of the story.

Robin: If I were a gardener, I would put
our 'two-lips' together.
Nancy: *blushes*
Steve: Why aren't we like that?
Eddie: If I were a gardener, you'd be my
hoe
Steve: That's why.
reminder that cis women aren’t the only people who are afab, please stop using afab as a replacement for female reader or she/her pronouns bc all you’re doing is using a term for trans people (generally) incorrectly and consequently making us really dysphoric and uncomfortable, i will never shut up about this i’ll die on this hill, and fuck you if you refuse to change or learn
