Here's the thing, I think. Fanfic with prominent OCs is something a good writer can pull off well. It's also a thing that inexperienced writers often gravitate towards because it's easier than having to figure out the voicing and thought process for a character they didn't make up. So you get a lot of the same snarling and grumbling about that as you would about someone claiming to act, but really just being hirself onstage. I mean, it's understandable that without an editing/publishing process, fic writers who really know their stuff are right alongside people who are struggling to eke out a story. But it's also understandable that the things struggling fic writers typically do get a bad rap from people who have limited time and just want to find something they'll enjoy reading. In that context, I think you can see why OC fics are being held to higher standard. It's not that there's anything inherently wrong with them, it's just that as anyone who developed their "read? Y/N." judgment on a site like the pit can tell you, a lot of people use them as a narrative crutch.
