Or, to be more specific...
* The real men are probably still easily mocked by the loonies,
and it hopefully doesn't disrupt their fun.
* The munchkins don't care, as they're goal-oriented so you can
role-play or do whatever, just don't get in their way.
* The real men likewise aren't as concerned, as long as you don't
get in their way.
* The "person who uses the English accent" WILL have a problem,
because the other players are content, and they won't play
along. I bet it was rather difficult to continue using an
accent with someone who keeps asking, "What's wrong with you?"
Players are content for a lot of people, and you don't have to be a
great role-player to feel that way.
