I think most people are well aware that if they want role-play they need to make an effort themselves. I may be getting the wrong end of the stick here but it seems like posters like Kellach are implying that they are putting effort into seeking out role-play only to meet no success at all on numerous separate occasions.
I'm in the same boat whenever I reach out to people beyond the FC I'm currently in. It's easy to brush it all off as being the fault of the person seeking role-play but in reality it isn't in every case.
It seems like a lot of people just want to move the goal posts and avoid acknowledging that the in-game community - and certain social circles on this very site - can be very frigid and difficult to interact with.
Cliques exist and are natural, I doubt anyone will contest that but there's good cliques and there's bad cliques.
To use a loose example, threads like this feel like they're the only place I can post in-depth sometimes on this site. A lot of the 'post about your character here' seem to essentially just revolve around the same group of people pointing how awesome all their friends are. It may not be intentional but a lot of threads do come off as pretty circle-jerky at times and unwelcoming to those who aren't involved in certain crowds in-game.
