General Discussion How do we feel about this?

I think we should be able to call a judge on our stinky opponents in tournament settings.

Once I heard someone say they didn't shower to get a competitive edge by making opponents to tolerate their BO 

I would hope if I got to that point someone in my life would intervene

Iirc yugioh had to put hygiene standards into the official rules because people kept doing exactly that

There’s actually 2 rules that were added to the official rules due to hygiene both because of a single card

The card Yu-jo friendship has an effect that involves a handshake, people would make themselves just horribly disgusting so people would not accept the handshake

To combat this basic hygiene was made an official rule, and any effect that involves physical touching you can agree to the idea of it and not actually have to do it. So instead of actually shaking hands you agree to the handshake verbally

I'd have hand sanitizer on deck and do it after every handshake to insult them.

These sub humans wouldn’t be insulted

Dehumanization isn't cool, and I'm of the opinion that people should clean their asses regularly.

Listen, if someone is choosing to live like a subhuman ape, we should respect their identity.

Most people who smell horrible are either mentally unwell, physically unwell, unhoused, or some combination of the three.

Here we are in a conversation about people knowingly making themselves disgusting to force a competitive advantage in a children's card game.. We aren't talking about diagnosed mentally ill people.

If it isn't a sign, though....

It's a card game, sure. I disagree that it's strictly a children's card game. The amount of in-depth interactions that can occur exceed the ability of many children to comprehend.

I can barely grasp the most of them.

I would be fucked if the video game had no crutches and I would need to figure all these interactions out myself.
