Well, with propere hygiene deodorant is not needed.
Anime con attendees don't care about proper hygiene and deodorant will only patch the issue, not fix it.

Believe it or not but some people sweat more than others. If you don't want to shower every hour you need deodorant.
It's not about hygiene, but what you eat.
If you get to the point of oozing food smells out of your pits, you should prolly take a shower.
I was in the army. I know. The smelly bastards are the ones who don't shower.

OMG, I read the comments.
I'm a guy who showers daily and tries to make sure I don't smell (breath and body). Today, however, I am off from work and only washed my face. I've had that not so fresh feeling all day.
I'm going to take shower right now.
I shower twice a day. In the morning to wake up and to get rid of the sleep sweat, in the evening so i don't bring outside materials to my bed.

I think the anime fans are just traumatized by the overwhelming stench of axe body spray from the high school gym changing room, and are now scared of deodorant
I assume the article is going for “we should be okay with body odor” which feels very granola. Not everyone needs deodorant, but many do if they don’t want to smell. Antiperspirant can be bad for your body, but deodorant should do the trick for most, by masking the sweat smell with their preferred scent.
Are we gonna have a body odor acceptance movement to go along with the fat one?
I live in australia and catch PT in summer. No one should be ok with body odour.
The article is screen grabbed and cropped to remove the context to increase outrage. It's actually about debunking all natural deodorants claims about detoxing.
'Cept deodorant does nothing to remove the stench from the weirdos that don't wipe their ass after taking a shit, which is a large bulk of people at the conventions I've been to. 🤢
The amount of men that refuse to properly clean their own ass is terrifying and disgusting.
as a gay, I take some undeserved pride in being so terrifying to straight conservatives that many of them started walking around with poop on their butt because they're scared if they touch their b-hole they're suddenly gonna "break" and go gay
How do I un-read a comment?
ITT
People who didn't read the article and assumed Slate was telling everyone to not use anything...
Did you read their headline?
Did you read the article?
Did you read the fucking shit they wrote in the post?
I did read the article. They go into the history of modern deodorant and antiperspirant and the marketing of them. They talk about how antiperspirant is safe to use but the narrative that it causes cancer keeps growing regardless of what scientists say. They also relate having conducted an experiment with deodorant instead of antiperspirant and how many people could probably get away with just deodorant.
At no point do they say we should abandon all hygiene.
It's some gene that is mostly present in asians compared to whites, blacks, etc, my friend group has one individual that said he didn't use it, and he's black, everyone else will smell sour if stopped.
i mean it doesnt have to be anime conventions its usually any kind of gathering where said yopic. of convention has a gathering of introverts, in particular, ones that have 0 sense of self awareness.
in terms of worst to less worse:
Card game tournament(sweaty, generally lack of AC, small venue cause cheap) < Video Game tournament (similar but in a room full of electronics, usually helped out by that their venue is larger) < anime conventions
Well, it's not only that, a lot of people are wearing costumes, that may or may not cause them to sweat far more than their normal day. A friend of mine wore a costume that involved a dress shirt and a coat, and Sept isn't really cold in GA. He used menthol to cover for his sweat though, so it wasn't too bad with him. My last costume (several years ago, I dunno where all the stuff is and can't afford to remake atm) involved dress shirt, a vest, and a heavy coat (trying to emulate this character) and it was hot as hell, especially in lines outside in the sun.
Even with baths and deodorant for some people in such situations it's not really enough.
ofc the cosplays have an effect as well, but theyre typically the minority at a convention vs those playing TCGs or Video games, who are often the majority.
the triple threat funny moment was San Jose 2016. Genesis 3 (Super smash bros tournament) took place at the same time and venue as Furcon, as well as a female volleyball tournament, all 3 generating sweat differently.
Went to a horror con and the scariest thing there was the BO
Tbh, extroverts can also smell very bad, someone mentioned Metal festivals...
Just look at the skid marks left on chairs at wrestling events.
Its so fucking disgusting that some people refuse to clean themselves
All natural deodorants and antiperspirants ARE scams. Regular deodorants are what pretty much everyone needs, regular antiperspirants don't get rid of odor and stopping your sweat glands is probably fucking terrible for the human body.
