I wasn't trolling, so thanks for the honest input! I definitely agree there are exceptions, and I don't want to insult LA players out there (I've played from every conceivable medium at one point, so I'd really just be insulting myself too) by saying they're omg ship crazy - but I do think that... just because there's a real person's face attached to the icon, even if the show setting is supernatural, or fantasy-based, or something completely out there, the player feels more compelled to make their character act like an average person.
Sometimes this is cool, because I personally do enjoy these 'subtle' scenes, where you're playing day-to-day interaction that somehow impacts or says a lot about your character, or triggers some fundamental development; but when you're playing - let's keep to him - Dean Winchester, and all he does every day is largely browse the internet network and grab a beer, it can get amazingly redundant very fast.
And I completely agree about how LA players tend to play it safer than anime players, who have a tendency to go to an extreme that can steer into OOCdom - this has been my experience with it all too.
