I think the reason people believe tanks tend to be the more rude and mean players are because we tanks put up with so much abuse and just general putdowns ('oh you pulled that mob? lol' 'why would you even pull that there, f***christ'), some people just break and project all that back on whoever was unlucky enough to group with em at that time.
Whenever I tank a speedrun, nowadays, I'll tell people that it may take me some time to get used to how much damage and healing they're capable of doing, what Limitbreaks are available, and what kind of CC they're capable of. Most parties accept this, but a few times I've simply had to jump ship and /tell the next party leader desperate for a tank.
