I remember when a regionals took place in my home city's convention center. I showered that morning before going to the convention center because y'know, hygiene. I was outside the room that contained hundreds of players and when the door opened because someone was leaving the room, the smell was so bad that I collapsed on my knees covering my nose trying to protect myself from the bad smell. That was my first experience at a regionals. The playerbase should be ashamed of themselves for not taking care of their own hygiene. It doesn't matter if "other" communities do it like the video game community or whatever. It's no excuse. I'm so glad they added the hygiene rule because the playerbase has no shame or decency.

insider insigth, bad greasy diet makes sweat more "acidic". fat makes sweating easy and it doesnt help that most yugioh players i know also use "heavy" clothers, sweaters and thick pants(easy to hide stains so that they dont have to constantly wash clothes) with allways carrying a heavy backpack (laptop + cards and game accesories or portable gaming console): more sweat no skin care or personal higine to "save time" outside of quick showers, most of the people i know have pile of used clothes and everything they do is done to minimise "waste" why shower dialy? i just need to shower on the day of the event, why get clean clothes? this ones are fine. etc. because they only go out for spesific pourposes, dueling or to buy food at the corner store

[@HarleyHerbert]

Certain people just refuse to look after their own health, especially with their hygiene, often going for years without washing once. And unfortunately for everyone else these people happen to often be among the most obsessed with their hobbies to the point where they turn up to every event they can and so end up stinking out everything each time. And it causes them to stand out so much that we all notice them no matter how few of them there are and how many other people are around. It's the smell equivalent of walking around covered with blinding lights. Making it so they have to wash to be allowed entry would benefit them too, at least it'd be one way to ensure they actually have a wash. Might improve their health marginally.

[@Agencetourix]

That's excessive. A thorough, daily shower should be enough, maybe an additional rinse during hot weather. If you do this and still smell bad, you have entirely different problems, maybe even of a medical nature. I agree with the food thing in your 4th point, on the other hand.

@@OrangescoutAnime Now, see, Gold Bond is an old man's product. It always has been.

Well, you know what I mean by that. Anyone can use it just weird To me that's the same thing if I seen a 16 year old today smoking out of a corn cob pipe, non ironically. But I also have to add, I didn't show you my age. I told you my age there is a difference. If I didn't give a number but I said something like ohh, I remember on my 16th birthday I got. 8 new hit clips. That would be showing my age.

The best solution to this is calling people out in the moment. Most people will be polite about it and just hold their breath till they can get a chance to flee. But honestly if you just straight up tell the person they smell terrible, they may be more likely to take care of it then and there if there a bathrooms available....or even better they will start being more aware of their hygiene. Most guys will stay smelling like ass because they don't realize they smell like ass because nobody has the general decency to just tell them they smell like ass.

Was at a hangout with a friend in college, she brought me to her friend group which was so big they’d all split into different small groups at a hangout which was chill Of course there was the one group of yugioh players and across a big house you could smell how bad they were and getting close into their room it was actually unbearable how terrible they smelled I went to another room and avoided them entirely

I play it myself and it boggles my mind how something as trivial as taking 10 minutes out of your day to jump in the shower and washing your ass and brushing your teeth is out of the question for some people. 24 hours in a day and you cant take 1% of the 1440 minutes in it to keep good hygiene 🙄

Then when I go to Monsterpalooza, some guys there have never used deodorant or even freaking toothpaste. Like are you allergic to the stuff or something?
