Because, if you really count gameplay for roleplay, we're all heroes carrying relics and able to be a master in 8 fighting specialities. I think what makes a RPer special is the power of imagination. Being able to see behind game mechanics, which are clearly not made with RP in mind.
I once I did an IC run as a healer. My character is an archer, but the run per se, oocly, needed a healer. I just told everyone I was in reality being an archer, descrbes my looks, and during the run reminded that with my actions. You'll say, we should be able to use what we can see since it's not pen & paper, but I find only using what we can see terribly restricting.
My main OOCly is a white mage. A friend has the habit to always be IC, and since I've been caught once in whm robes, cause I was ooc, I've been ICly asked about them. I just replied it was a costume, but I might as well have said none of those clothes were there IC.
Fact is, each of us has very different ideas, it's normal, that's how it always goes into communities, and what someone likes or accepts may not be valid for others. I don't think there can be a fanon about such big things, because we will never agree.
