Ideology means the study of, or science of, ideas. Another word for Ideology is common sense. Hegemony is the ideological, social, economic, or cultural influence exerted by a dominant group. The fact that there are certain bathroom rules that are supposed to be known is Ideology, or common sense. The Ideology of the “bathroom/urinal etiquette” is reified through Hegemony. The Hegemony in this situation is mostly formed by social environment. The game really illustrates this by enforcing ideas of masculinity such as when you should choose to pee as far away from a big guy as possible in order not to acknowledge if there is any “inferiority”. Also the idea of “personal space” is an ideological concept.
