I mean, I suspect I *am* one of the Chicken Littles, and here you are, engaging with me. :)
I would make a bet at fairly generous odds that no rattumb person who offered a negative opinion of Dragon Army will face social consequences they consider significant from having a negative opinion of Dragon Army.

My model of social consequences is that most of them are silent; someone who could have helped you doesn’t, someone asked for a recommendation about you gives a negative one, you aren’t informed of events because you don’t get invited to them. This makes it difficult to adjudicate such bets; as you’d have to have people coming forward with silent disapprovals, which would have to be revealed to the person in question to determine their significance.
