Some folks tend to worry about this subject a lot, it seems.
I have played out a hell of a lot of scenarios as many different kinds of people, and I feel I have boiled it down to a single philosophy:
I like RP with players who have mental maturity enough to handle what they choose to portray, whether it is silly or sultry or surly or serious, and respect their fellows and partners. All else follows from this basic respect. It is the first balm to fears, dreads and worries.
To paraphrase several philosophers both sacred and profane, if you care about your fellow actor in these passion plays, then play as you will, because if you care, you will do no harm.

"But in the laugh there was another voice. A clearer laugh, an ironic laugh. A laugh which laughs because it chooses not to weep."
