Again, what isn't an issue for one role-player isn't necessarily the same for someone else. I'm not particularly bothered either way, I just enjoy exploring both sides of a debate instead of just one.
Exclusivity isn't always a bad thing, though I do feel as though role-players should be called out on effectively distancing themselves from potential interaction because they're far too busy focusing on emoting their character going at it like a demented rabbit.
It also serves to reinforce the negative stereotypes that a lot of players unfamiliar with role-play tend to tarnish many of us with. Heck, role-playing a blood elf back in WoW was often awkward because the majority of blood elf role-play was stereotyped - and in many cases rightly so - to be focused around tweenage drama, excessive ERP and power-play/cliques. There were certainly sparkling gems hidden within the filth that made it worth it, though.
Another problem I perceive is that tolerance can go a bit too far. I've seen people try and justify some very strange and explicit fetishes just because something completely unrelated is tolerated as well. That doesn't seem to be case here, thankfully - but it's certainly an issue I've encountered in other MMO's.
