Barring some exception in thread I have not seen it become an agreement to  say that point blank a dragoon cannot use the jump ability.
The point of contention is -how the fuck can you think jumping on everything in combat will actually make you a good combatant-. It's -one- specific instance. You're arguing as if everyone said no dragoon in existence of RP has faced it. Or that every dragoon has tried it.
As far as I can see, there is only one instance where anyone had even any bias against a dragoon in RP and some people, as they are allowed, find it credulous to believe.
Dragoons aren't trained to jump on tiny marmots on the ground. (From what I can tell). They're trained to jump onto and kill -large- -flying- -hulking- beasts. They're trained to slam their forks into big steaks not onto a grape. So it stands to reason to -question- how a dragoon RPer would win their battles against say PCs if they're arguing that because they are a dragoon they have a jump ability that means they will win.
But honestly I've only seen a dragoon stigma in PVE which has no bearing in RP and I haven't seen one -biased against dragoons- the same way in RP. There has only been a question of believability if their sole form of battle is just jumping on something. People have questioned how bard songs work. How the differences in arcanism, thaumaturgy, black magic, white magic, conjury are etc. How can lalafells fight other races? Because they all stem from us wanting to know how the lore works. How the world works. How we are to fit our real life expectations in with the FFXIV world.
