I've seen this sort of reaction on occasion if I go out of my way to write in a manner I find enjoyable and interesting. It seems to evoke a certain kind of innate tribalism in people along the lines of "you do not write like us, so you are unlike us!" It's quite bothersome, and it often comes from people who supposedly pride themselves on being open-minded. As soon as you start writing in this way people will accuse you of 'trying to seem smarter than you are' and it seems to trigger some kind of persecution complex. It's like dude, maybe I just enjoy larping as a Victorian? Keep off my neck!
