Put bluntly? Yes. The fact that the work is published makes its characters widely available to everyone who is interested in the canon, and because the characters were put into the canon by the creator of the canon, they are relevant to the story and accepting that they exist and are part of the story is necessary in order to understand and discuss the story with others.

Fan OCs, on the other hand, are not officially published. Like it or not, they are considered personal, and generally don't have much relevance or accessibility outside of the creator and maybe their close fandom circle. Understanding somebody's fan OC and accepting that they exist and are part of the story is not necessary in order to understand and discuss the story with others.

I don't understand the hatred for fan OCs either, but I do understand the indifference and apathy people have towards them, and irritation when people who create them try to force them on other fans or treat them as though they are part of the official canon rather than just the OC creator's headcanon.
