I don't think that Mario having no personality is a bad thing, as it works in the platforming games, which obviously do not have the plot at the foreground. It just irks me a little bit in the RPG games like Paper Mario or Mario and Luigi, and even then it doesn't take away from the game at all, just a personal quirk I suppose.
I suppose Mario wasn't the best example, as he's too well-known, but there are other more obscure games that also have a faceless protagonist in a game where there should be a lot of story, and that is what I don't really like. But again, that's probably more of a personal thing, rather than a campaign to belittle all those games. Sorry if I came off as overly critical or condescending.
ps: A clear line should probably be made here between protagonists with no set personality and protagonists with no personality at all.
