Devil's Advocate is my favorite game.
If a character claims to be from Doma, or anywhere not-Eorzea, really, and someone then goes on to ask them about their homeland... There's no real answer to be had. You can't talk about capital cities, you can't talk about landmarks, you can't discuss the layout or map or anything.
Granted, someone could simply fabricate fluff bits to explain it, but the person in question with these criticisms is specifically playing a history buff and would want to know these things! The sites of great importance, the rich history of a new culture. There's nothing wrong with asking these sorts of things of someone claiming to be from the place.
The fact none of those questions have answers right now is the disconcerting part. It seems (SEEMS, mind you, I'm not finger pointing at anyone except a strawman) that a lot of people latched onto Doma (and ninja, and SAM, and DRK, and <insert thing not even in the game>) not for the lore aspect of it (It can't be for the lore, said lore doesn't EXIST yet) but for the "I'm now a unique snowflake" aspect of it.
Tangentially related, I know three people all playing the same class that isn't in the game, and they all have their own headcannon as to what it is / what it does / where it came from.
