    What’s with TCG players and hygiene?

    It’s mostly just men hitting puberty and developing glands and pores they didn’t have before.

    You’re going to find all the same smells in the locker room and the band van and the construction site. Anywhere you’ve got adolescent men congregating. Especially if there’s bad ventilation and poor AC.

      With the construction site, It could just be the corpses in the concrete that are starting to smell a bit.

      Definitely not the leading cause of TCG-smell. But that is a complicating factor for that age group

      You hit puberty anywhere between 11 and 14… I dont think thats the main crowd.

        You continue through puberty until you’re around 17. And you don’t stop smelling bad once it’s over. 20 year olds who spent a few hours out in the sun will smell even worse.

          (mostly facetious) irrelevant! The last time a TCG tournament player spent a few hours in the sun, we were building decks out of clay tablets!

              Is this what activating a trap card is? Everything I’ve ever learned about TCGs has been done unwillingly through shitposts.

      Why can’t they be… taught? To clean themselves?
