I like this. Also I think this is a “some people need diametrically opposite advice from other people” thing—some people need to be shown that “this is rude” is a valid kind of judgment to make, other people need to be shown that it’s okay and good to do rude things sometimes (which is also true imo). (I think I’m natively more in the second group.)
The whole reason I like the concept of rudeness as a game mechanic is that it’s a fairly soft punishment, and this allows you to be so rude things when the situation calls for it.
Yeah I think this is somewhat implied and I certainly don’t take you to be saying the opposite of it, though I think it would be useful to state this more explicitly as well.
(But also I think how deterring a punishment people find this varies by person; there’s definitely situations where I think it would be better to just do the rude thing but this is extremely hard to do because that punishment feels Very Bad.)

Perhaps yet another thing I was unclear about:
