Nothing, but RP elitists will shit all over it.
Told myself I wouldn't post here, but here goes.
Blending makes better characters, in my opinion. But it has also got this stigma as of late that "a person who blends in their RP" isn't "stable" enough to separate IC from OOC. Which I do not agree with. But then it'll be argued that "blending a little it OK everyone!", but who judges that amount?
There's been people who can't easily or cleanly enough seperate IC/OOC but this site, and most RP communities I've seen expand those mishaps to the whole and unanimously denounce it. If that makes sense. Where bleeding stops and ends is hard to say anyways, and I'm not even sure where that line is. I think I do a good enough job though, and my flavors of RP are most hazard prone to that sort of negative IC/OOC blend. Rambling, ignore me.
