"Also I suspect that it's common for people to blame the unfamiliar character when the real problem is the author's writing skills."

This. People react negatively to all OCs on the basis that a lot of them are badly done. Well yeah, but that's not a problem with the concept of an original character, it's 100% writing skills or lack thereof. IMO, it's fanfiction, write what you want and take the fallout if it comes. There is no point to following other peoples' arbitrary rules for How to Fanfic because if you tell a good story, you can break lots of "rules". That also applies to original fiction.

I have to say the logic behind "I've read lots of bad OCs so I hate them all" is kind of faulty.

Yes, because a bunch of 12-18 year olds with little writing experience and no editors fucked up something, clearly it must be a bad idea and nobody should write it.

I mean I can understand a personal bias of "I don't like reading them". But I can't really take the "OCs shouldn't be written period" seriously.

It's irrational and pretty dumb, but people get super defensive about it. I wrote lots of original fiction before I got into fanfic and this baffled me... well, I guess it still does.
