                  the solution to struggling with basic hygiene is not to be convinced that basic hygiene actually sucks and is unnecessary. it is to treat the underlying problem which results in neglecting basic hygiene. (and then wash your ass :sicko-speeeeen: )

          It's not anime. It's nerds.

          I'm not sure if the hobby obsession leads to poor health and hygiene, or if people with poor health and hygiene are drawn to these hobbies, but gaming - be it boardgaming, CCG's, RPG's, LARPing, videogaming, whatever - all these types of hobbies draw perhaps the unhealthiest people you'll ever see.

          I've attended Gen Con for the last 10 years, and it's just an unfortunate observation. Despite the fact that every person I've ever personally interacted with at Gen Con is friendly and passionate about the gaming hobby, and are generally great people, it's simply hard not to notice that many of them are overweight, in poor health, eat poorly, and sometimes have hygiene issues.

          Just one of the side-effects of the hobby, I guess. If you subsist on a diet of Red Bull, Mountain Dew, Funyuns, Hot Pockets and Taco Bell, and never get out of your chair, well, nature will take its course.

          Or you could get off your high fucking horse and believe people telling you about mental health struggles from a vulnerable place. Or that expectations around human scent are based on western chauvinism. God forbid a person smells like a person.

              Very creative. Yes, it's so lib to learn not to judge people by their smells. It's so lib to want to not have an imperialist attitude towards humans smelling like humans.
