Thaaat's kinda it. And it goes both ways. It's why the capture rule is important BOTH WAYS.
You don't sign away that level of autonomy just because you play a specific type of character. You might not even be intending for it to be an 'antag.' Just as Sawrock said, he just makes CHARACTERS who do THINGS. If I made a reaper whose sole goal in life was to go around and beat the actual spirits out of anyone abusing them, I don't automatically decide that anyone and everyone is entitled to my time just because they feel they deserve it.
It's why people need to cultivate their space and make sure their preferences are known and the community needs to collectively get rid of this stigma of offing anyone that offends them en masse. Unless we have a DEDICATED DESIGNATION for antags who want their characters to be particularly submissive and executable, they're just a character like anyone else's. If they cut off your friend's arm, that's between them and your friend unless they want to involve you. If they escaped from your nation's jail because you didn't get GM approval for an execution and they didn't want to stay there for a week, then it's the same as when you said 'no I don't want to get attacked in the wilderness' the other day.
