That's what linkshells are for

Then their publicly written actions are publicly fair game. Even if it's something as inane as a passing stranger responding with "X thinks this mugging is dumb"

Not really, no. Not unless you're locked away in an FC house or instance somewhere

They can read publicly displayed text and have their toon react accordingly. If you don't like how their character reacts then tough shit, you don't pay their sub

This sounds less and less like a mob riot and more like that insufferable couple next door havin' a domestic again

"This still doesn't mean the group is free to riot as they please. Nobody can force the public to stop reacting in-character to their publicly broadcasted drama."
See, it works both ways
