By and large, once that tidbit comes out, you're not going to be welcome anywhere in public. Imagine if this was WoW, and your character came out as a cross-faction sympathizer. Or if this was TOR and you're trying to play a Sith deep in Jedi territory. All of that build-up gets detonated the moment the line is crossed.Maybe I haven't done much reading but I saw this.
I can point at a person who regularly RPs here who has told multiple people that he is Garlean (while hiding the pureblooded traits). He has not been run out or lynchmobbed and he is occasionally seen healing people and such.
I have not seen the IC reaction to this character as people say would happen.
granted none of these characters or player characters are actively proposing the subjugation of eorzea, but there is no lynch mob just because someone is garlean.
