If you could make one thing universally socially acceptable what would it be?

[Astral Blitzen 469]

Mine would be calling all my elders etc. bro, dude, and stuff.

[Derpy Defense Force 13]

Making compliments that people actually accept as compliments. I can't count how many times I've complimented someone and they've responded with "What's that supposed to mean?" in that angry way. Gets on my nerves to no end.

inb4 social justice people take over the thread

 

If I could make one thing acceptable it would be dancing in the street to music that you're listening too. The world would be such a happier place if everyone was just dancing around in public

[Something Floaty 1,334]

Dueling. I believe the legalization of dueling would make us a better society. 

[NomDeSpite 452]

Randomly bursting into song in public. Instead of looking at the singer strangely, we should attempt to sing along, if we like the song.

 

I am aware that, given the popularity of Bieber, Miley, Gaga, Katy, One Direction Beyonce, etc. this could go horribly wrong. But it's a risk I'm willing to take.

Being a brony.

One can dream, fellas..

This goes hand in hand with mine! Singing and dancing in public would be so funny and I think it would cheer everyone up

[Adachi 772]

I would make it universally socially acceptable to be a witch. Witches do have the legal right to practice witchcraft, but many people fear what they don't understand...

How about making everyone except each other? I don't go through a day without seeing someone being mistreated by others just because of the way they think, and what makes them happy. That would be a great day for mankind

[Celtore 2,770]

Using Linux! (Kidding of course )

 

Nose picking. Come on, you all do it, don't pretend you don't... Sometimes a tissue isn't enough, one might just not have a tissue on them or maybe their nose just itches. Digging for gold once in a while doesnt harm anyone, it's not an obscene act, other mammals do it and mucus isn't gross, it's one of the realities of life. Everyone has it, even you! Yes you, reader.

Anime and hentai are completely normal. That day would be the greatest day ever.

*accept. Just a heads up there.

I would just want any kind of deviant behavior to be more acceptable, I can't necessarily pick one. I hate seeing people being judged and persecuted for something harmless, that only makes up a small part of their personality.

 

 Exceptions of course being the ones that actually hurt people, there is a legitimate reason for those being socially unacceptable.

Yeah I pick this. Be offended about stuff all you want, but if what you're taking offense over doesn't actually cause harm to people, you have no right to actually crusade against said thing.

Instead of shaking hands as a form of a mature/sophisticated greeting or agreement (& etc.), I would change it all to fist bumps. Imagine it guys, (hypothetical) SEGA and Nintendo joining companies to form one dominating gaming industry, sealed by a fist bump. ^^

[Digit 321]

This is a hard question Id have to toss it in the air with No pants or sleeping were ever i wanted 8P. In all seriousness i walk and come up with new ideas for my stories that i tend to act out in my head. This sometimes causes me to make weird noises or say things that dont make any sense out of context and im usually looked at funny for it. So that being able to make weird noises without being thot of as weird. 

[Adachi 772]

I would make it acceptable to add the honorific dono to the end of everyone's name. I would also make it so it would be ok to yell out "Silence!" when someone makes a stupid statement. Lastly, I would make it so it would be ok to yell out "I'M (insert name here) AND I'M OK!"

[Envy 6,162]

I'd have to say gender-bending. Definitely, gender-bending. And by that I mean all of the way from a guy liking MLP to being transgendered (identifying/presenting as the opposite sex).

 

We have been backwards on this issue for far too long.

I installed unbuntu on an old desktop for my younger brother and he hated it, he was like "I can't play or install any games hurhurhur" etc.

Make it socially acceptable to use common sense and be your own person

"It's sterile and I like the taste."

 

On topic: Being yourself. Seems like everyone's gotta take some flak just for having an interest.

[Guest90210 3,568]

Skipping around, instead of walking. I don't know why, but skipping is just so enjoyable but you look like a doofus to most people when you do it.

 

Or even just running to places. If I want to get to a place fast, I should be able to run there, right?

To be an actual individual instead of some sheep who simply follows the arbitrary dictates of what is and isn't "socially acceptable". If there is one thing I have learned and learned real quick is that a lot of people are afraid of anyone who is or is perceived to be different and being "normal" is often hailed as some virtue and being "abnormal" scorned as some kind of moral failing. Because of this bronies are demonized as homosexuals, pedophiles, overgrown man children ect gays are denied the same respect that we are all entitled to and some people have even been judged for things like their religion or the color of their skin.

[~Sugar Sprinkles~ 638]

I wanna make it acceptable would be that guys can like "female" things too without being called Gay or whatnot. 

 

Yes, MLP is the one problem. Whenever a guy likes it, you're "gay" according to society. I remember that show Sailor Moon when I was a kid and guys liked that show and you were "gay" as well. Same as the Powerpuff girls. Yeah, its weird that a female can like Spider man, hot wheels, and sports not be called a "lesbian", but guys can't like girly things. I mean, honestly, MLP is NOT that girly, lol, MLP reminds me of the classic cartoon shows honestly x3

Having erections in public

 

People might actually be induced to pay attention to where they're walking and whom they might bump into

 

On the other hand, in crowded areas, all hell breaks loose
