Same. Or it really bothers me when certain fans try shout down the actual show/movie/comic/book writers, themselves, in a "I know the characters better than you do" way. That just smacks of arrogance on a level that any one who wears it, should be ashamed of themselves. But they never are.

Oh yes. Even if you think a character is doing something out of character. At the end of the day, characters are not real. All of their thoughts/actions come from their creator. You can not like it, but the creator is who knows them best.

I don't necessarily think criticisms of OOC are arguing with the fact that the writer knows the character best, though.

It's entirely possible for a creator to write their own characters as behaving in an OOC way, if said behavior goes against everything the creator has already shown. Just because they control the character, it doesn't mean their behavior doesn't need to be developed in a way that makes sense.

"They're mine and I can write them any way I choose!" while being factually true, doesn't exempt any creator from making their characters' actions logical to the audience who isn't them and can't see what they know best. The audience relies on the creator to display that to them via the character's actions, and if those actions make no sense based on what has gone before, then that character is behaving in an OOC way, regardless of who's responsible for it.
