Or that maybe random RPers aren't the best at capturing the essence of characters. And if they can't do that at all in an AU form, they're not as good at RP as they think they are.

The "club" thing to me just sounds like the characters got broken down to stereotypes that have nothing to do with the actual AUs.

No, they were all in-character. I was familiar with most of the canons, and I wondered about the same thing you said the clubs were. So I tried to think about it that way and no, the canon characters really are the same when you take the canon away from them. And it doesn't mean bad writing. There are only so many personality types in the world. Even though they didn't have every single small trait in common, they were similar enough that it didn't matter.

Kinda sounds like you're the one unable to understand the importance of nuance in characterization and assuming it must be a rule because of that.

I was gonna say, sounds like OP just hung around a bunch of really shitty RPers. I've played with lots of people who have written full-out AUs for their characters (as in putting, say, Harry Potter characters into the Pokemon world) and managed to maintain the essence of the original characters and keep them recognizably themselves even with different backstories.
