I remember this being extremely common in fandom in the early aughts, and it was 100% the former. people decided to playfully teehee that if you didn't like a plot twist or the dialogue or the pairing it was the characters don't blame me I do what they want. if everyone in the fandom acted the same it was like we were all in on the same joke so it was an easy way to cover your ass and prevent flame attacks, but if it wasn't common around the fandom, people who did it came off as weird. either holier-than-thou (a lot of BNFs did it) or weirdly overinvested and soulbondery.

so basically instead of hiding your fic in a drawer for fear of doxxers coming for you, you could post it and claim innocence for anything objectionable done in the story, even if we all knew that innocence was fraud.
