I find the propensity of those who are quickest to judge and dismiss the "Why's" of these issues are typically those most likely to engage in what they decry. Projection is a big problem in the more immature/inexperienced creative writing/roleplaying crowd.
That being said, there are cases where making a character "over the top" is sometimes not even noticed until hindsight is activated by which point it's often perceived as 'too late to change it'. Alternately some people choose to double down and dig in their heels, etc.
I like to stress often that in addition to my original post here in the previous page where I describe others reacting to your character's presence if they are anomalous, that taking a step back from your character(s) and reevaluating them is oftentimes a good idea. Skepticism is the healthiest form of mental exercise you can engage in and I advocate it regularly.
