People don't usually think things are weird because of logical reasons. Usually there's some sort of association they have with a sense of unfamiliarity and perhaps even threat. For example, a person who interacted with actors and couldn't understand their behavior may feel that all actors are universally "weird" even though they know logically that shouldn't be true. People's issues with roleplaying are usually like that I think. Explaining such logical reasons like this does help, but sometimes people you're explaining to don't say "oh okay, I get it now, thanks!" It's easier to just continue the way you are than to actually change, though some really do.
