Honestly, people should really use a common sense that voidsents inside any cities or town, the guards will react to it and try to attack you. "Oh it's okay. I am researching on it." "Oh it's okay. I am friends with it. It likes people of Eorzea" does not give justified reasons to say that other people or local citizens to  be okay with a creature from dark being which terrorized many people long while before.
If anyone's not aware, these local citizens of Eorzea panic on axe beak bird invasions, or even Beast tribe invasions. What makes you think they'll be okay with voidsents? They won't.
Just because they are NPCs and won't bother you doesn't mean anyone should take advantage of that and ICly bring Ahrimans into the city/town at any cost.
Yep.
Basically two schools of thought in RP. Make your character a constituent of the world, with all its laws and customs, or bend the world to you.
It's not that cut-and-dry, I think. There's certainly overlap and different philosophies that make things acceptable/unacceptable/maybe-acceptable-sometimes. Summoning Voidsent? It happens in-game. It's rare, and the instances where it happens usually end in tragedy and/or dramatics, but it is noted as happening.
There's nothing to say that a powerful enough conjutaurge wouldn't be able to coax something through the abyss. The logical end to that "maybe" is that someone would be powerful enough to summon and enslave demons on a large scale. That's probably not as common; I'd liken it to playing a necromancer. Sure, you can do it. If it comes out you're doing it, you'd probably be arrested/executed on sight, because demons EAT people and no one's going to go "Oh, sure, Stan the Summoner's got it, everything's fine."
Hell, the very beginning of 1.0 had a trained Goobbue going insane after something goes wrong. People die. It kicks off... Basically everything that made a certain Scion who they are today. It's not that far off to think the common people aren't going to be fine with folks known to summon corrupting influential demons in their free time.
...not everyone playing in those spaces are trying to bend the world to them, though. Sometimes folks just want to tell a different story. There's enough double secret Garlean agents running around that someone who dabbles in demons isn't too strange.
Anyone claiming to do that in city walls is still dumb, though.
