While it really shouldn't have to be spelled out, I still appreciate that they did.

It does communicate the stance of the event organizers, which is not a given.

Yeah, sadly, it does need to be directly and explicitly stated, literally in giant bold letters, with an actual accompanying example mascot...

But it is better that something like this is present than it not being present.

These events also, sadly, require those notices that suggest you bath before attending, and to wear some kind of deodorant.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, thats... those kinds of signs, guidelines on flyers, con rules... that's been a thing for over a decade, maybe more like two?

Yeah, lots of dorks tend to not comprehend basic hygiene, that is absolutely a thing.

Probably also doesn't help that a lot of them get their biggest workout of the whole year by walking around a convention for a day.

There's a small TTRPG convention that's held annually not too far from the town I live in. While I enjoy attending whenever I don't have a scheduling conflict my wife refuses to go because the smell of body oder is everpresent and really makes the whole event less enjoyable. Like, just the air in the entire event space has a general smell of body oder and there's no specific decernable source of the smell

True, though the thought of an event organized by people with a stance running counter to what I consider common sense and basic decency is pretty repulsive to contemplate.

If you don't know who asmongold is, look him up, that's basically what you're dealing with.

Dude used the sun shining on a rat's corpse, the pungent smell of it baking in the sun, as an alarm clock, for years.

Thats not a joke or exaggeration, he himself explained it on a stream, had to be convinced this was bad.

Now, as an introvert, typically 'homebody' nerd type person myself, I do feel the need to point out that it is possible to be that way and ... keep your place clean, take care of hygiene, take care of your body.

But, there definitely are a ton of bedrotting goblins and basement dwellers who are unable to do this, thats a real thing.

If you've never heard of "The Final Fantasy House"... you have no idea how bad this can get.

I 100% believe that he changed the story into this for his streaming persona and the real situation was much worse.

Unfortunately, I do know who asmon is. Even more unfortunately, I also know about The Final Fantasy House debacle. It's entirely possible I spend too much time online.

[–] Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

What's the final fantasy house debacle?

Fredrik Knudsen did a video on it but TLDR is that a bunch of people lived in a fucked up abusive cult like situation and more or less festered for years back in the early 2000s. It's one of those situations where any shortening past a point doesn't get across how fucking bad it was.

[–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 2 points 5 days ago

It's not an easily summarized situation. If you really want to dive into the gory details, there's plenty of coverage on the entire thing to be found online.
