Everybody making the same grade school comments and jokes. I'm sure you all came to these ideas on your own, like convergent evolution before our very eyes. I'm sure, as well, it has nothing to do with having been primed to expect it to smell bad by abusive and exploitative ads, and hackneyed sitcom scripts, that raised you when your parents had something else they'd rather have been doing. No, you all say the same fucking thing because it's just such a good joke (you all independently came up with) that we need to hear it a thousand fucking times every time the opportunity comes up.
I think the reality is, several of us have been to these events and there is a reason for the jokes. The last MTG tournament i went to had a literal sign on the door that they could refuse service if you smelled like a week old cum sock.. Just because you haven't experienced it, doesn't mean it's not a real thing.
