    Such a bizarre take that I don't really know where to start. Obviously body odor is a real thing, and yes people tend to freak out a little too much about it, but hygiene is not one of those subjects where you want to reminisce on the glory days of 200+ years ago. People literally dumped buckets of shit out of their windows and into the gutter back then.

    People probably "didn't care" about body odor back then because their noses were completely fried from smelling awful shit all day long. If deodorant was $100 per stick he might have some kind of argument but I don't think I spend more than $20 per year on the stuff, I'll take that hit.

      I've seen what happens when a subculture allows the rot to take hold. We do not want to go back to pre 2010 con culture. We must hold the hygienic line.

        The one and only time I've been to an anime con there was a sign on the door reading "We enforce the right to remove anyone on the grounds of poor hygiene."

        Unfortunately this did not do enough to remove the ambient ass and cheetos smell.

            London had Roman sewers which they used all the way up to the Victorian era but most Britons were pretty dirty by most standards. When the Vikings first arrived as settlers Britons thought they were going to 'steal' all their women because they took the time to wash and brush their hair daily. What makes it even funnier is that when the Vikings got to Sicily and the Muslims there were horrified by how unclean the Vikings were, so the Brits must've been nasty af
