Why all the "DO NOT STEAL"s on OC characters? Seems silly.

As for the visceral reaction to OC being interspersed with mane characters I would say: Look up the concept of "Mary Sue/Gary Stu"s. The concept of these overpowered, self-inserted, all-loved and plot-centric characters usually originated with them interacting with the main characters of a show.

Like strolling onto the Enterprise and being instantly loved and buddy-buddy with Picard & company. It's an incredibly bad sign with the direction something is taking. It's just not the fan-inserted character's story and they should keep to their own or at least stay out of the main characters' spotlight. It's fine to have contact with the main chars given that it's happening in the same universe, but it's just poor taste to pretend you're a significant part of their stories. Also lazy writing. :)

OCs are fine when they're just doing their thing. When you ship them with the main cast, be prepared for the DO NOT STEAL and Mary Sue comments. Also if you give them stupid features, like making them alicorns, prepare for the same thing.

Why can't birds walk on clouds? Pegasi do!

Anyway, I don't have an issue with OC ponies as long as they're, like you say, just doing their thing -- background ponies. You start pairing your pony alter-ego with Twilight or claiming great power for yourself, things just get weird and awkward.
