I agree completely, like I hate it so much when people use characters as self-inserts. Though I have a much bigger problem with the 'fandom bicycle' types (like Hermione for instance) since every interpretation of them seem to be completely inaccurate and much harder to sift through than these particular video game protagonists. (I totally get what you mean I guess is what I'm trying to say...)

I might just have a lot more experience with what to look for with them tbh, I know to avoid most all of the anime/dance/golden/extended versions of the Persona series games. Plus all the fics tagged with later names the series gave them. (aka Yu over Souji) I do believe silent protagonist is a valid character type though, so that probably makes a difference...
With FE I completely agree finding it impossible to ship the early player characters, like the Tactician for one. I disagree so far as Ike goes, since he's given such a distinct personality I can't imagine not shipping him with people/being referenced in fics with those he's close to. I haven't played a FE game since Radiant Dawn, so I'm not even sure if they reinstated supports as proper relationships like they were in previous games, but supports were a huge thing for me and the context for my ships.

I know an unfortunate amount of people still use these characters as self-inserts, but I find them a lot less threatening than the 'relatable' characters who people think they know so much about but ultimately not via wishful thinking or whatever else.
