    I just don’t get it. I’ve been playing games my entire life and I’ve never had this problem. Why is this such a prevalent issue?

    You don’t even need to shower every single day (it’s not good for your skin) unless you’re a naturally sweaty person or do stuff that makes you sweat or get dirty, so it’s not even a matter of needing to shower daily, this is just lacking basic hygiene. But damn man if I’m going out to a con I’mma make sure I’m fresh every day.

      Yep

      A lot of these guys don’t even know how to do laundry because it’s woman’s work

      And you better believe a lot of these guys refuse to wash themselves properly because it’s gay

        This was me, not because I was worried about doing women’s work, but because my mom was so insistent on doing certain things for me that I stopped trying to learn until I moved out for the first time. It’s embarrassing to be a grown man and not know how to do laundry because of some random sexist bullshit you were submitted to. I thought for a long time that I was just ungrateful for my mom doing my laundry for me. But now I’m a parent and no, I was fully justified in being pissed. I had genuine interest in learning to clean and in being clean and my parents refused to teach me. That’s bullshit, especially when it was sexist on top of it.

            As a fellow autistic I understand but also my tism compels me to be clean because I have sensory issues otherwise, I hate hate hate being dirty/having cluttered space/etc
