Why do anime cons always smell bad?

Seriously, vid removed?

How about this. You take your sweet time, make something that's even approaching to my level, and we can make a joint thread about this shit, and see who's video GAF likes better. There's a 0% chance that you could ever defeat me, what with my deck stacked with Dark Grepher cards.
 
THIS ONE

eta:

"Congratulations.

You are the one who finally made me cry at this episode.

I didn't cry when watching it. I didn't even so much as bat an eyelash at it.

But this. This made me cry.

I don't know how, and I don't know why.

But your video finally made me cry."

I can't, I can't do it. I hate myself, I could never put myself on camera.

You win Timedog. I relinquish my challenge.


you made that g-fex?
answer carefully!

Yes, I'm banned from the Doctor Who thread
 
I've been to my fair share of anime/comic/sci-fi cons and have never had an overbearing problem with smell (apart from the occasional person dropping an ill-timed fart)...

Then again, I studied computer science at a large state university - the Indians in the computer lab there, absolutely NASTY stench... someone told me that a lot of Indians don't believe in deodorant? Is that true? Because I could definitely believe it.

Go to a super-crowded nightclub and you'll have a ton of stink, just as much if not more than an anime convention. It's hot, it's sweaty, and people are either wearing horrible cologne, smell of stale cigs, or they just plain reek.

Are anime nerds the lowest nerd on the nerd totem pole? Video game nerds are obviously at the top because that's where we all are and because it's hip to play Minecraft and enjoy pac man, but being an anime fan is basically throwing any cool you have away.

I guess D&D nerds are pretty low too, but at least they don't have imaginary girlfriends.

I see a lot of female anime nerds, and some of them are actually attractive... been to EVO and E3 and they were both sausage fests. So anime definitely has the best looking girls out of all the nerd-dom IMO.
 
Imagine if that was a furry con. My God. At least the smell would be masked by all of the fursuits, though...

I've worked at Gamestop. Been to various cons.

Shower, and wash your damn breath!

Coming from the punk/hardcore scene I can almost live with BO, but when some cro-magnon mouthbreather starts talking to me and i feel like I've been infected with their breath, I want to fucking die. Carry mints if need be, it's just so grody. This was worse at Gamestop because all I could do was move back, I still had to talk to them.
 
uh...unless they're exercising, they should be just fine. is there a reason to sweat at a convention such that you'd need a second shower before the day is over?

what the OP experienced is a bunch of mothafuckas that don't bathe properly.

Ummm you walk and stand all day its like asking someone who works in retail should they shower after work. If you dont..something is wrong with you or you are a bum.
 
You shouldn't have to use cologne to mask your natural stink - simply bathing is enough. There's a happy medium between the two that few seem to grasp.
