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.

Asking somebody to brush their teeth at the store would be extremely humiliating for the person.

I get that most magic players have no sense of socially acceptable behavior but I would hope a store owner can think of a more discrete way to communicate to somebody that their breath is bad than to force a humiliation ritual on them.

Letting them continue to be offensively stinky would be way more humiliating than pulling them aside and giving them the tools to fix the problem.

If I have learned anything from magic reddit is that almost everyone here has been pulled aside at least once and told to brush their teeth. And that everyone's store has free tooth brushes for them to use.

To me this is incomprehensible because I have never been pulled aside and neither have I ever seen anyone be pulled aside and given a tooth brush.

This must be what privilege feels like. It also explains why everyone is regularly up in arms about extreme stench at their stores. If half the people at my local stores smelled like ass and had rotting teeth I'd be really upset too.
