Go too hard in the other direction and you’ll have PCs turning up their noses at one another and each going their own ways, which is fine for the fiction but a terrible nuisance for the DM. (You can, of course, run a game in which the PCs never deal with each other ever again, but it’s usually preferable to politely inform the players in question that failing to connect with the rest of the party may result in a significant–if not total–lack of spotlight time during sessions.)

It’s often used when players introduce a weirdo character and I find it troublesome and a slayer of verisimilitude.
