I'm gonna be the Voidsent Activist here.
OOC, people are more likely to accept Voidsent Nonsense than anything else highly unusual. Let's look at your choice of disapprovals:
1. Disapprovers go "ugh, voidsent again? really?" and either deal with it or go on their merry way.
2. Disapprovers go "The lore doesn't WORK like that! Excuse me while I ridicule you to all of my friends or derail everything with a long OOC argument"
If you want to do something weird, calling it voidsent just plain makes your life easier. You get labeled as someone who just doesn't get it, who isn't worth the effort to correct.
And the people who were already going to accept the concept and have good RP with you? They will keep their eye-rolls to themselves and probably still do it.
So I guess it's a question of how wide circles you RP in are! Small set of friends, or FC where everyone's on the same page? Doesn't matter what the Source of Weirdness is.
Wider companies/linkshells, or public RP? Call it voidsent, save yourself some hassle. It is BECAUSE people are sick of it that it's a good choice.
(Okay I got a bit off the original topic and onto 'why Voidsent is a more popular source of strange things than anything else in lore')
