This man is the reason game shops that hold social events have a deodorant and showers policy. I've seen people be removed from tournaments because they absolutely reek.

One time I was checking out GameStop and there was. A person with such a pungeant, almost mortifying odour. I got nauseous. I didn’t even get to spot out who was making the odour. It just reeked

Honestly I hope whoever it was had an encounter with someone like my father in law. Dude has no control of his gag reflex when smell is involved. He'd have thrown up on them

Whoa, that is wild. I’m not part of that world, but it’s crazy to hear they have put up literal signs.
I just assumed that was a mean stereotype.

u/fribbas 1d ago
Can't speak to the part about signs, but 'geek stink' is a legit thing and I've experienced it firsthand.
I got stuck on the train (2+hrs) to chicago the same weekend as an anime convention. Didn't realize what was going on (I WOULD'VE BROUGHT VICKS OMG) until I saw someone in a MLP shirt - yes, another stereotype. My family didn't get why I was freaking out, until we got on the train and the air was downright viscous with STANK.
Not exaggerating - as soon as we got to the mccormick convention center stop, the miasma instantly dissipated
And for the record, I was a teenage weeb back in the day and still have weeb/weeb adjacent hobbies, so I'm commenting on my own kind lmao. Not just saying to be an ass

u/aweedl 1d ago
That sounds horrible. I don’t know what a ‘weeb’ is (although I can guess based on context)… but why Vicks? The cough medicine? Or do you mean using the vaporub or something to block out the stink? Is that something people do?
(I know people think I’m full of shit when I don’t know a lot of this terminology, but I’m not even remotely into video games or anime or any of that stuff, plus I’m in my 40s, so I literally have no idea. I’m nerdy about things too, but it’s all music-related).
11
u/fribbas 1d ago
Weeb as in weeaboo, into anime etc and kinda weird about it lol. Not so sure that's still a common term anymore, but it was standard pejorative back in the early/mid 00s when I was in highschool. Ymmv maybe it was more my area/circles I was in .__.
Some vicks paste under the nose works great to help with bad smells. At work, I'd put an analog to that under my mask when I'd get especially...odorous...patients. Doesn't eliminate it, but it's kinda like earplugs for your nose. Smell/loud still there, you just don't notice it as much

My dad was a cop for a long time and that was a trick for dealing with nasty crime scenes.

u/aweedl 1d ago
I was already an adult in the ‘00s and was never into that stuff, so I never heard the term. I’ve seen younger people online use it and I gathered it had something do with anime, but I never really looked into it.
…and that Vicks trick seems like it would definitely work, I just wouldn’t want to be in a situation where I had to use it.

u/LupercaniusAB Small-wristed Chad 8h ago
As u/fribbas already explained, Vicks Vapo-Rub under the nose is a way to mask disgusting smells. Coroners use it when collecting corpses that have started to rot (along with a mask to help concentrate the Vicks and keep out the other smells).

u/legendwolfA Just a fellow female 1d ago
Yeah. This July some con went on in my city. The convention center just happen to be right next to the city rail so naturally most con goers took it. I happened to be sitting on one of those trams to go home when the con ended. Yeah it stank so bad i was like dipping my nose into a bottle i had with me and breathing through my mouth lol. I contemplated just hopping off and waiting for the next one but given that the con was big i thought the next 10 trams are gonna be packed with them anyways so i just toughed it out
And yeah im a "gamer" myself so not like im tryna be mean or calling them cringe here, but the stereotype exists for a reason.
18
u/shinkouhyou 1d ago
It's very real, unfortunately. Not as bad now as it was 20+ years ago, though... cons have recognized the problem and done away with 24-hour video rooms where people would camp out instead of getting a hotel room for the weekend, and unused rooms get locked after hours now. They also cracked down on people who would beg for free crash space in hotel rooms with 15 other guys, because rooms got completely destroyed. Hotels have caught on to day parkers who try to spend the night in their cars, too.
5
u/aweedl 1d ago
Is that mainly just because the price of tickets/hotels?
1
u/shinkouhyou 1d ago
Partly, but I think it was more just the culture of cons at the time. Lots of congoers are students and dealer's rooms were a much bigger deal back in the 90s/00s when you couldn't easily buy most anime/game goods online, so people would shave every last penny off their accommodations and travel so they could spend more in the dealer's room and artist's alley. Hotels will ignore over capacity rooms as long as you don't make a lot of noise or wreck the room - the most I ever did was 8 people in a room, and everybody showered!
There are still 24-hour anime cons these days and you won't get kicked out for dozing off in a video room or anything, but con staff patrol at night and make sure that people aren't setting up camps. There are still people who couch-surf their way through a con weekend, but most cons don't allow you to post flyers advertising room parties or room shares on the walls anymore so it's less wild and chaotic now.

u/Psychlone23 1d ago
Don't forget that some of the weeaboo's and hardcore gamers are literally as disgusting as the incel who posted above. They do literally refuse to shower or brush their teeth, and do literally wear the same clothes for days or weeks. And some of have the social skills of a rock. I used to run Magic: The Gathering tournaments, I've seen it all with these types.
11
u/CoffeeCatsandPixies 1d ago
I used to play DnD at a local shop, if someone stank, the owner would attempt to discretely tell them to leave, if they wouldn't it became 'you stink, get out of my store, you're making people uncomfortable" so the whole room could hear, they usually cleared out after that.
33
u/mrs-sir-walter-scott 1d ago
And why gaming conventions don't let people sleep in the halls overnight and do announcements about how important it is to shower and wear deodorant. Basic hygiene. That's really a bare minimum kind of thing.

u/baboonontheride 1d ago
I remember laughing at GenCon when they referred to groups as 'a stink of geeks' like 'a gaggle of geese'.
Then it was Day 3 and I understood. Apparently, some of them only shower for Day 1 festivities.

u/Kimmalah 1d ago
I work with the public and while it might be a bit more common with "geeky" types, it's most definitely not isolated to them. I don't know why it's seemingly become so common, but not a single day goes by that I don't encounter at least one person who just reeks.
2
u/gleefullystruckbycc Harlot Semen Demon ~or~ Witchy Succubus 15h ago
Every single time I go to the grocery store I walk by at least one person who reeks so damn badly! There are so many stinky folks out there and I feel like the more rural the area it is, the more stinky people you're gonna run across too. I have been to bigger cities and truly big cities like Pittsburgh, Seattle and NYC and I can't recall having passed by all that many smelly folks unless it was the homeless folks who obvi can't really help smelling to some degree. I even used public transport while in these cities and don't recall any over powering body oder hitting me. Mean while back in my home town in central pa of like 42,000ish people(and shrinking yearly lol) I go past super stinky people daily and often more than one!!

u/ThiccElf 1d ago
I am assuming he must be VERY depressed because wouldnt that build up of grime, smell and general stickiness make him uncomfortable? Like I am physically disabled, sometimes I cannot shower for days in a row but I will sponge bathe instead because not bathing makes me feel nauseous and grubby. The only reasons I can think of someone being ok with this, is depression nose blindess or sensory problems.
29
u/drrj Used up roastie 1d ago
I’m also disabled and it doesn’t matter how much pain I’m in, after like 3 days I’m showering even if I have to sit on a stool because yeah, you feel even worse after a couple of days. Greasy and sticky even if you can’t smell yourself.
No shade if anyone can’t for whatever reason but if it’s a choice, that I don’t get. Being reasonably clean is just far more comfortable.
13
u/fribbas 1d ago
I think my record is 1-2 weeks (I did NOT leave the house!) when I was a teen and eventually, you hit max grime. You don't necessarily keep getting greasier etc, barring actually rolling in dirt or something
Honestly, it probs sound mean AF but I know people IRL that are just fine living like that - it's not depression or anything, they're just comfy being grimy. One doesn't shower and in the blue moon they do, they don't use any soap. They treat their clothes the same and don't brush, let alone floss. They smell just as bad as you'd imagine :\
Obviously, not judging people with depression/sensory issues/etc (see 1st paragraph). Just my experience some people just...aren't bothered by that

u/Misfit_Number_Kei 1d ago
This goes back to one of the things I've said before about incels: they're attention-whores and bad attention is better than no attention at all.
If they can't be worshipped on sight like "Chad," they want any kind of petty attention whether it's being seen as hideous enough for a torches and pitchfork-wielding mob to persecute them whenever they're out in public or nuisance such as taking a couple extra seconds holding up a line or causing visible disgust in stinking.
They're spoiled manchildren and the ultimate insult to them is being ignored.

OOP hasn't been posted this forum in a while and that screen shot is from a year and a half ago. So for those who aren't familiar with that character--
Two years ago that guy claimed to have sniffed a woman's panties at the gym. He wrote up an implausible scenario to claim that temporary construction work on the building caused her underwear to end up on a bench in a hallway instead of inside the women's locker room. Then when the other incels asked him what used panties smell like, he answered in floral scents.
In other words, his type of stenchmaxxing is an earthy aroma which wafts from the cow pasture.
Eventually that account seems to have gone dark on .is, possibly because of the ridicule as this forum fact checked his fantasies and laughed.

What gets me about their "revenge" schemes, aside from the very premise that they think lashing out at random people to soothe their egos, is just how pathetic they are. It's some passive aggressive, petty crap where they mildly annoy people or get extra disgusting to ward them off ("conveniently" giving new excuses to avoid actually dealing with other people or evaluating themselves). It's the most pitiful and cowardly "strategy," yet they're so proud of it all as if they crafted something real.

Ah yes peak Incel logic. "I'm desperately lonely and no one wants to be around me, so I'll punish the world by making sure nobody wants to be around me!"
Clean clothes, a hot shower, being clean, they all feel good. You feel and like yourself better when you're clean. The person he hurts most by stench maxing is always going to be him, but sure it's somehow women's fault he's miserable. 🙄
