That's not a particularly fair take. Usually it's a combination of small issues that, combined, creates an outcome that is frustrating the people who have created these characters.

Let's dive into something that is related - many people do not like the way they look in photographs. That is because people are used to seeing themselves in the mirror and when they see themselves as others see them they can often be a bit bothered or repulsed by what they're seeing as their look is somewhat familiar yet somehow "off". They see themselves in a photo and their brain is telling them something is wrong; it doesn't match what they see every day when they're greeted by their reflections in the mirror. Meanwhile, everyone else looking at the photo just sees you the way they've always seen you and isn't noticing the flaws that you do.

The point here being that people have grown attached to the way their characters look, and small deviations may not be noticeable to everyone else but you can be certain they are easy to spot and disturbing to the people who own those characters and see them on a daily basis.
