No it's not.
We do it all the damn time. ALL THE DAMN TIME.
Making an awful lot of assumptions there fella.
I wear shorts by preference. I've worn pants when necessary (job safety). I've worn skirts and dresses when the desire arose (costuming).
If you meant "We wear clothes", then sure. Public nudity is illegal where I live.
We don't pass loudly gas in public.
Speak for yourself. If it's convenient you step into a bathroom or away from a crowd, sure. But otherwise? Fuuuuuuuudge it.
We don't pick our nose and wipe it on a wall.
That's just unsanitary. But I've seen far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far worse committed by your so called "civilized" people.
We don't visibly ogle members of the opposite sex...
Sure I do. Also members of the same sex and undetermined sex. If I think it's what they want, and face it some people dress to be [-]viewed[/-] ogled.
...push to the front of lines...
Huh. I don't, because that's a rule I prefer to live by*, but again, I've watched your civilized human beings do this, daily.
* But would break if I felt it were necessary.
...take things without paying because we want them...
Illegal. And this also happens all the time. I mean seriously? Have you forgotten about petty theft and data piracy?
Heck, just yesterday I watched (and reported and stopped) a 'civilized' human being steal a case of water from someone else's cart in the store I work in*.
Savages.
* It was already paid for, the victim had turned their back to attend to their screaming child and the barbarians lifted it into their cart and tried to rush off and go buy it themselves (the store had just run out of bottled water and hurricane Matthew is threatening serious damage on the state).
...or a billion, billion other small social courtesies or social actions each day.
Half of those 'social courtesies' you mentioned are illegal if broken, but I do see where you're going. Yes, we self impose certain restrictions on our behavior to be seen as upstanding members of society.
But make no mistake, those restrictions are self imposed, subjective, and nothing ill becomes of one if they are broken.
I know, I break them when I feel it's needed (or desired, or slightly too imposing upon myself to bother following them). Because I know who I am, what I am, and understand how those choices will be seen and acted upon (generally).
All done to keep society going, because we're civilized human beings and not chimps.
You do realize that nothing untoward happens to people who break these social 'rules', yes? They're still a part of society. The Social Standards Police do not haul them off to be judged in the court of Public Opinion.
Yeah, it sucks holding in that awkward fart. It can even hurt. But you act like a grown up and wait until you hit the washroom, or at least pick an empty place. You go off to the corner feigning a sneeze, let fly, and hope the smell doesn't carry.
Man, I am really, really, really glad I'm not you. As much as I fart? Life would be intolerable.
What's acceptable changes all the time. Standards change. We no longer refer to black people as "coloured" or people with learning disabilities as "retards" or refer to female coworker and "chick" or "doll".
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Again with the royal 'we'.
You either participate in the society and change with the times, or the world moves on and you become that cranky old racist grandpa.
Whom is still a part of society. Or do you think when he's injured the hospital workers ignore him like some casteless person in India?
That's completely ridiculous. If you go into a McDonalds and don't like how the staff treats you, you talk to the manager. If the manager does nothing, you don't start your own McDonalds, you just don't go there. If there's no other fast food place in town, then you just don't eat fast food...
Or if you're capable, you start a new restaurant. Sure, it's expensive, but no harder than any other small business to start.
Or do you think all businesses are already taken so there are no more left to be opened?
Which is what's happened so far: they don't go into stores or participate in the hobby.
Really? Half the gay people I've ever met were through gaming. The other half was Rocky Horror...
However, most gaming stores are not run like good businesses.
So why would you expect them to take good business advice?
To the fans it's more of a debate as it requires rethinking our behavior.
No it doesn't. Our behavior will already be adapting to the changes in societal lines. You know,
because we are a part of society. Gamers are not some monolithic external (to society) group that acts outside of it's standards and practices.
The hobby we love or being able to act how we've acted until now?
I don't know how you've acted till now, but I have no need to change. I've always treated people with decency and courtesy, until they've proven to not deserve such treatment.
Why do you not just fart and say excuse me? Seems like an easier solution then going through some big song and dance about it.
No joke.
