It makes you WILLFULLY IGNORANT, which is a terrible, terrible thing to be.
This why I said what I did earlier about speaking to major RP partners OOCly beforehand if you plan on playing something really out there. Why that was met with such negativity I'll never know.
I've always been in the position of the person being approached about it rather than approaching others. I tend to avoid any character concepts that make it so I have to do so. That being said, I have always appreciated the heads up.
I had a gentleman speak to me once about playing something pretty god-modey. Normally, I'd have said no but this guy is pretty damn clever and talented and knows how to give himself weaknesses and concede so I said sure and told him not to get too crazy with it and we'll go with it. Point is I trusted the guy to not be an asshat with the concept.
When you ask a general question like this on the forums you're gonna get a blanket answer. Establish yourself then if you want to play around with some more out there concepts then talk to your friends about it first. Keep it closed RP. No one cares or has a right to tell you what to do with personal plots. People only get pissy when you put them in the situation of having to acknowledge it in the open world.
