From what I understand their definition of "OOC" is "acts like exactly the same nasty little asshole he is in canon, but this time his bad behaviour isn't excused or enabled by the narrative". It's amazing how revealing that can be. 😈
When the character is a main character, it's the audience's natural tendency to sympathize with them. (Like in "Breaking Bad".) People who like the books follow this tendency, since everything's justified in Eragon's mind. When they see the perspective from people who aren't Eragon, it gets more apparent.
