I think the problem only arises for people who clearly cannot take themselves out of the game. I can play anything and be anything in a game because I can take myself out of it. I'm playing a character the way I think the character would be. Many people always try to be themselves when they're playing. To me, that detracts from my own personal enjoyment as I like unpredictability of knowing how the opposite of myself reacts to situations.
