I think I've "cracked" the mystery of why MTG players don't want to be excluded based on crimes including public indecency.

There are so many people that attend fan conventions and do not bathe/shower. If you know any friends that attend any of those conventions (SF/Fantasy, Anime, Gaming, etc...), ask them about it and then prepare yourself for some jacked up stories.

I used to do gaming reviews and the company I wrote for released "Hygiene: The Game" at one year's GenCon (biggest gaming convention in the US). It was literally a bag filled with no-name/generic hygiene items (bar soap, toothpaste, deodorant, mouthwash, and body spray) and point sheets where you checked off boxes for each day of the convention that you used the included items. Every day of the con, you stopped by the booth and got your sheet for the day stamped by someone that worked at the booth. And the booth had "volunteers" that checked to make sure that you used the items (and yes, you could substitute other items for the ones in the packet).

On the last day of the con, if you brought in all four sheets that were stamped, you got a box filled with gaming products contributed by various publishers/manufacturers.

Now...here's the most jank thing about this. We had a significant number of people that would show up to the booth trying to get their sheet stamped while not having used any sort of hygiene products. And then they would argue about it. Okay, yes there are people that sweat profusely and the like...but if you bathe regularly, you can tell the difference.

Sorry that I dragged this answer out, but yes; hygiene is a serious problem at many fan conventions.

literally get free stuff for bathing

Some nerds still try to cheat the system rather than bathe

Jesus Christ that's sad.

These people have legitimate mental illness. It's awful.

1 darkaceAUS 2018-01-13

I made the mistake of going to one of these. They literally had bouncers to kick out people whose body odor was overly bad.

Is Ed the 1st bot that progressively gets dumber with each post?

1 Ed_ButteredToast 2018-01-13

Newfag account. Yawn

1 Gtyyler 2018-01-13

Remember: someone shitposting in a private chat room is why women don't want to play Magic, not the huge swaths of crevases in the public setting.

1 MrUnsmileyMan 2018-01-13

This fat fuck being so uppity as if he's not one of them is something I've always appreciated.

1 AntiLuke 2018-01-13

I think that part of his point is that he knows how to dress to not be a plumber.

1 moudougou 2018-01-13

1 HodorTheDoorHolder 2018-01-13

He wears shirts that go past his belly

Wait wait wait.....is that fake eastern european prison tattoos on one of the neckbeards fingers?

Boy you better stop chomping and start running, 'cause we deal with cultural appropriation rdifferently compared to USA.

1 a_normal_human 2018-01-13

Maybe Igor let himself go in the decadent West.

1 neveryousay3 2018-01-13

Dude, first of all a neck this fat wouldn't survive here....we would eat him, so no, he's your local fatass.

1 Gurung99 2018-01-13

Yea that's what he said, he came to the US and got fat.

1 neveryousay3 2018-01-13

But...trip itself would je to expensive to him🤔

1 The-Ghola-Hayt 2018-01-13

is not expensive, is easy. You do this, you find Jew, you tell Jew I want to come to USA. you give Jew money, he say no problem, I have big crate, I have friend in border. Is cheap. Is reason is cheap, is no air, and full of gipsy and chechens. Maybe gipsy chechens. Many die on trip, but not me. My family strong, much harder in Tajikistan winter. You reach america, you find uncle, work on cars, and sit on corner. Drink vodka, listen to russian pop. Preferable as loud as possible. Is not too expensive for him.

1 zergling_Lester 2018-01-13

There was a huge drama when it was first posted, then a bigger one when the dude was banned for life from mtg tournaments. Some people also shopped him into rap album covers.

1 AntiLuke 2018-01-13

I think he was only banned for a year.

1 1171798 2018-01-13

yea he got readmitted at some point.

1 Shishkahuben 2018-01-13
