I don't mind them being Supreme Overlords, I am coming into their home, and throwing my hat into the ring knowing their rules. If they want to be benevolent, that's on them - but at the end of the day, I know your rules before I walk in, so I don't have much ground to argue on.

I agree. I read what is posted, acknowledge the rules established and ultimately make the conscious choice to join the role-play. If the GM turns out to be a douche bag, I can simply bow out and make a mental note to not join another role-play by that GM.
