I must be missing something but I'm failing to see what was creepy about his behavior aside from his peculiar interests (which you share). Was he too forward? Was it that he didn't tell you his name?

I just don't understand why geekiness is correlated with poor hygiene, which multiple anecdotes clearly show is true. Someone please explain!

This is the type of dude you meet and think "Welp, here is the guy who cums on anime dolls and posts videos of it online."

I once made a mistake in college of telling a classmate that I played games and had a PS3. For the rest of the semester he LOUDLY kept taking about how the 360 was better than the PS3. I just had to nod my head and quietly agree to stop him from talking.
You should just tell him he smells bad. Nothing bad will come out of it:
- He might be offended and never come back. WIN
- He might apologize and start taking showers. WIN
- If he is insulted and still keeps coming over you can at least rest assured he won't be coming over to your computer. WIN

Okay, I will respond to this then, because I see you're actually trying to understand me.
Basically, it's creepy to most people when a guy who you don't know comes up to you and starts asking you multiple questions about a game you played three years ago (while wearing a shirt for said game, which I get can be written off as being a huge fan). Theres no real reason I should care about said game at the time. It is also creepy when he then starts talking about various fanfictions, a thing I have never read and never plan or reading. He also looks at my computer and compares himself to my father as he tells me not to play a certain game as it is "bad", then proceeds to show me his anime wallpaper of two girls kissing on a bench when I haven't shown any previous interest or care in seeing it. To top it off, he goes and starts to tell me about Yuri visual novels to read, which...I never asked for? And have no plans on ever reading?
And to finish it off, he then leaves after laughing and not telling me his name?
I don't think this is an issue of too forward or not- that just describes creepy behavior to most people? I think you uhm, as you said, are missing something?
He's totally you from the future.
Anime needs more shower scenes to encourage them

Someone get on the phone with Unilever, I feel like a bodywash that comes in a bottle shaped like an anime girl might change the world.

Good lord at the op. I'd have to be really drunk, like at the point alcohol poisoning, to hang out with people like that.

I think college just has a lot of people that are finding themselves and have some odd convictions for a while. For example, yesterday at my class, some students and I were talking and getting ready for the first day of class. We're just casually chatting and eventually one guy asks another guy "I know how I can tell if we're gonna get along. What's your religion?" The guy says he is an atheist and the guy says "Okay good, we're definitely gonna get along" and has a little laugh to himself. It was kind of an awkward moment and nobody really had a good followup to it to move it past the weird comment.

So basically OP met his future self? I'm disappointed. The twist was predictable and I saw it coming a mile away.

GFD it!

I once had to run from a guy at college. Thought the dude was going to harvest my organs or some shit.

If I were OP, an encounter like this would probably shock me into joining one of those social sports leagues that are a front for going out and drinking a lot of Bud Light Limes and talking about Pinterest.

Somebody ought to make a Morgan Freeman as god-version of this saying "humankind was a mistake, it is nothing but trash."
We had a guy in the dorms who just watched hentai on his TV all night at least twice a week. With the windows open. Same guy had traits similar to the OP's example, but this said guy also got kicked out of dorms for strapping teddy bears to poles and "Fishing for women" in the stairs of other complexes. You meet all types in college, I guess.

I came for this. Never fails to make me laugh.
Anyway, what a weird person. Hope you cleaned your keyboard and mouse thoroughly OP.
Blatant anime and game fans really do tend to be the most awkward and lifeskill inept. Back in high school, there was a guy who would run through the hall screaming Captain Falcon quotes if he saw someone he knew. So much cringe.
A couple years ago at college, I dressed up as L for Halloween, and some guy recognized the character. We talked about Death Note for a bit, but he wouldn't stop following me. I had a library shift coming up, so I had to take off the costume. Dude stood at the bathroom entrance, just staring at me as I'm washing off the makeup. He eventually buggered off once we got to the Library. Never really saw him again after that.
We recently got a gaming lab, like 40 Alienware PCs, and it's just as awful as you can imagine. Disgustingly hot, smells like armpits, asscrack, and probably a mix of other bodily fluids, epic League of Legends/twitch memes being mumbled across the room, and computers filled with malware. I'm terrified of what these peoples' home computers must be like.

When you spend like 80% of your waking life on your computer chair in your bedroom, common things get put on the backburner, like personal hygiene and normal human interaction. Hardcore gamers also fall into this category, but a little less so.
It's always the anime fans with the piss bottles too.

Wait hold up. Were you just going to class and stuff dressed like anime? Not on your way to a party or anything?

I mean, at a guess hardcore geekiness is often associated with escapism as a lifestyle. Hygiene is just one more real world thing that "doesn't matter"

people often will dress up a bit for halloween at work or school, plus its not like he was going as a magical girl or mecha or something

Well said. I used to do game testing and lordy it's utterly unavoidable meeting the latter type. One guy I worked beside smelled like cheese and only ever talked about anime and would pull out his vns every chance he could to do show and tell. /shudders

I just googled that character. Basically just looks like a dude who gets insufficient vitamin D. Don't know why an anime fan would even need makeup for that.

Welp, I guess the police will be able to use this thread as some kind of a lead when the OP winds up in several pieces in a freezer somewhere.
