No. That's fucking stupid to assume that someone is just posting it to force people to read their stuff by "disguising" it as fanfic.
That's a bullshit conspiracy theory by people who think so much of their entitled selves that they're convinced those Mean OC creators are out to trick them
I like putting original stuff in my work to add something unique to it. To have a little something of mine. I'm not doing it 'just to trick people into accidentally reading my original novel. I'm doing it because I literally enjoy it more. You can choose not to read it
But don't you make stupid accusations about what I'm actually doing.
I'm just writing fanfic.
I write because it's something I enjoy. I don't do it to trick your stupid entitled ass.
Get over yourself. I'm sick of you dumbasses who think I have a fucking ulterior motive

You're sitting here telling me "what you're REALLY doing is this". How do you not expect me to be annoyed. I've run into your type before. It just pisses me off to have someone try to tell me what I'm really doing.
It pisses me off to have someone tell me what my real intentions are.
I'm tired of people who think I'm doing anything but writing a freaking story. I'm not doing it to force people to read anything because I warn and tag my fics with OCs. I tell people exactly what my story is going to contain so they can decide for themselves whether they want to read it or not.
I'm just a little sick of people who think that any kind of story but original flavor is illegit. I write fanfic to explore different settings.
But I'm still writing fanfic. the fact that I include original stuff doesn't make it anything else. You CHOOSE to read my fic as "secretly trying to make us read her novel" or "making the canon characters into whatever"
When I wrote one of my fics I actually rewatched the whole entire series and analyzed the characters and came up with a bunch of little headcanons about some canon characters and their history to help me write about them. I wanted to make sure I would write everything well.
Don't tell me what my motivations ~REALLY~ are and then dismiss it as a tantrum when I get pissed.

They should make it more clear that they're just saying they don't like it and not "you need to write fanfic THIS way because it's aset rule"
Because that's what they sound like. Or when they say "when people write this it means this"
Maybe they should not phrase their words in a way that sounds like they're deciding what other people mean/intend.

Re: IA
Maybe they're just wording it poorly but they sound very forceful.
"As soon as a minor OC does more than provide background color, and starts taking a prominent role then you have left fanfic behind and are just trying to bolt your Original Fic onto a fandom to increase its profile. There is nothing wrong with Original Fic, but if you want to write your own stuff stop using a fandom to boost your profile and hits."
There is nothing here that says "this is what I think" or "I feel" "or generally I tend to think most people..."
They are literally saying "this is what you're doing and you need to stop" Like it's a fucking FACT.
and I'm saying "no I don't do this. Please don't make assumptions"

I'm just saying "don't fucking speak for me and what my motivations and intentions are" or "what I'm really trying to say"
You can only speak for YOU. That's my whole issue here. Don't speak for me.

All you've been saying this whole time is "when you do this it means you're really doing this and you need to stop writing this"
Why are you working so hard to keep fanfiction derivative? Why is originality so bad.
I never wanted anyone to read my works to begin with I was just pissed off at your tone of telling other people "this is bad, stop writing it"
Fanfiction is not any less fanfiction because it has something not canon in it. If it's still set in the story's world or using their characters, It's fanfiction. Original content doesn't make it less.
You know when it's original fiction?
When there are no borrowed characters or borrowed setting.
You seem resistant to people criticizing your stupid stereotype of people who have the audacity to write what you're not interested in.
