I keep seeing people post this in every thread this is brought up. I find this reaction to be mean spirited and contemptuous. And it doesn't seem to be in the spirit of role play. It's weird where people draw the line between "okay, I'll pretend your character is/has this, but if you say they are/have this I'm going to be derisive and try to make you feel bad.
Welllll not to play devil's advocate here, but I assume people don't come in here just for praise and people, like myself for example, will avoid them at any cost, and we are forced to use that IC to still let it make sense.

Because I really don't want my characters to know (certain) NPCs, because it really shatters my immersion.

There's quite a bit of NPC roleplayers who shove their RP down your throat and start screaming if you don't accept it. Everyone's allowed to go 'no' on whatever type RP. Whether it is just casual tavern RP, super serious events, ERP, or RPing with NPCs; if people don't want to, they should be allowed to step out as well.

And really, I think that excuse of "its a drunkard/weirdo trying to re-enact x character' isn't really that bad. I don't even bother with it, unless they engaged me directly. I just u-turn, or ask them to leave.

Spoiler

Same applies to all the voidsent and primals RP'ers... Why am I not allowed to murder them?! It's clearly stated that they must die and must be hunted! They're destroying Eorzea!

Calling them touched in the head, drunk, or acting as a mjor figure is your ONLY safe option in those regards as... I can't murder the voidsent and/or primal threats since the scions and THM guild are clearly slacking. It's rather a kindness considering Thancred might have slept with my character in my head cannon but in the Thancred RP'ers head cannon she doesn't exist. Yes, some people rp knowing the scions or other major figures as well.

The only other option is to not RP with people whom RP these kind of characters as Virella has stated.

In the end, it has nothing to do with your choice, but the other person's choice to accept your head cannon or not.
