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
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.
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.
