While being rude is mostly an option, she still can find the time to be rude to the likes of Carvier, the homeless guy, Janice, the guy at the boxing ring (“am I talking too fast for you?”), etc. while being chased. Whether it’s almost boasting she could’ve killed Von Croy if she wanted to (really proving your innocence there...), talking down to Janice, or baiting the homeless with the implication of spare change...AoD Lara can look really petty. It’s a far cry from the composure she held in the original games.

They could have altered Jean-Yves' looks, called him just Jean or just Yves or something, people would still have put the dots together, and there might not have been any legal issue, it would have made more sense than Von Croy.
I don’t think I’d ever heard this before, but it explains a lot. I still don’t think Lara’s bitter reaction is justified, she never needed or depended on people to save/come back for her before, but Jean is the better option. I don’t know why they didn’t try a work around like you suggested for it to still work instead of just picking Von Croy. He’s the last character I’d care about being murdered.
