I'd be flattered if anyone considered me that much of an authority.
But it's fine, it's going to continue to be fine, and even the people saying "Well I won't RP with them" are still saying it's fine, just not fine for them. So why not?
The issue is "Will other RPers shun me, or will my personal narrative be rejected more often by others" And the answer to that is... well look at any thread on topics like these.
One could argue whether or not it's right to be snooty about RPers who do lorebending or dramatic things with their characters, but it happens. I think many people would rather have a safer character that gets lots of RP, than a more fanciful character that doesn't get any.
These threads are less about coming to a consensus and more about testing the waters, so people can get an idea of how their concept might be accepted ahead of time.
That's how I see it anyway.
