Since I don't think you're trolling, I'll bite on this one.
Yeah, I'll agree most LA players are really hardcore about shipping, but a lot of LA players also want to move the plot forward. The problem? Most of them are just poorly suited for dealing with elements in a game setting, because the anime and video game characters have probably existed in a world similar to the game atmosphere. Dean Winchester just cannot handle the same sort of problems that Isaac Clarke can handle and vice versa. They'll both make do in their situations and adapt, but since a lot of LA players haaate thinking outside the box (I've noticed this trait is really common in LA players and I AM ONE), they aren't going to play it like that.
So you're left with a Dean Winchester mun who wants to antagonize the werewolves and vampires in the game (which is IC), but doesn't do much with the plot, because instead of adapting, they're trying to do whatever they feel is the most IC that won't cause any sort of growth.
tl;dr: I feel like most non-LA characters are less obsessed with being IC and are willing to bend to have their characters grow, while LA players either want ships or never want their character to grow and change.
YMMV. I've been blessed to play with people who don't think like that, but I've also cringed at being in games with Buffys who want to focus on boning every dude instead of rallying people together as well as Buffys who want to impact the game, but end up alienating themselves by not adapting and just storming in and bossing everyone around.
