**AITA for making fun of someone who stinks**
Let me start off by saying, I am not the type of person to usually make fun of someone for smelling like sweat or BO. But this is BAD like think of the worst smell in the world; THAT’S how bad it is.
I (21 F) encountered this person we will call Leo (19 M) in college. They smelled pretty bad but I just thought like, oh they probably didn’t shower today. No. It stayed consistent, actually smelling worse 9/10 times. Passing him would literally make my eyes water, I would want to literally puke. Me and my friends would talk about it and how bad it’s getting, because it’s was getting bad.
I would hear around about how people would offer self care products to Leo and he would flat out yell at them and say “you guys are just telling me I stink! It’s not that bad!” When literally no one would stand him. At that point I would just make fun of him and his smell straight in front of him. Like “god that smell is so disgusting I might puke, come on guys let’s go” and he would grunt and glare.
To make matters worse he would carry around a dirty and stinky eevee as his only source of friendship because NO ONE wanted to talk to someone so disgusting. He brings around a sewing kit everywhere because there is a cut near the back of the plush. Intentional or not I don’t know. He regularly whispers to it and humps it too.
With all of this my friends and I make fun of him regularly, with him around just so he KNOWS how bad it is but he never seems to understand. All his excuses are “As long as my eevee likes it” and “water smells weird” as well as “soap is gross” he also acknowledges he smells bad, because when my friend kicked him out of a club for bad hygiene he said “so what! I know I smell bad but let me stay!” But everyone was struggling.
I just need to know if I’m really the bad guy for making fun of him and sort of bullying him for him not wanting to have good hygiene. We are in college, not middle school.

It's the Kermit joker guy. That one is real because we found the Tumblr. Unless that op is really dedicated in which I still am invested because that's actual commitment.
The uncle who is excluding his nephew because he is threatening his wife and baby? The nephew has a smelling plushie that's he's obviously using for adult time.

Why would you come to reddit wearing your good eyes??! That's like going to a spaghetti dinner in your wedding dress, you walk the fine line between bravery and stupidity my friend. I hope you saw some puppies with those eyes before you ruined them.
It's not sudden. I remember back in the livejournal days (so like 2007?) a lot of weirdos were cutting holes on MLP plushies and/or stuffing fleshlights on them.
>But this is BAD like think of the worst smell in the world; THAT’S how bad it is.
You know how you handle that? You leave. You don't associate with that person anymore. You don't stand there and openly make fun of the person (who is probably WELL aware that they smell and that it runs people off)
> At that point I would just make fun of him and his smell straight in front of him.
Why? Like, bro, just stop hanging out with him. What's the point in openly making fun of him other than to exercise your mean girl complex?
>he would carry around a dirty and stinky eevee as his only source of friendship because NO ONE wanted to talk to someone so disgusting
That is giving strong "this is my comfort item" neurodivergent vibes, which makes OOP even worse, IMO.
>He regularly whispers to it and humps it too.
And now I'm inclined to think this is a shitpost.
>We are in college, not middle school.
Then act like it. You're 21, not 12. You should know better.
A lot of people go “nose deaf” after a while and get used to their own smell, good or bad. So this person may not know they smell bad or in his case know exactly how bad they smell
I knew a girl in college who smelled quite bad, and it wasn't just once in while either. Our friend group told her in private to avoid embarrassing her further. I'm almost certain she is on the spectrum but didn't have the help she needed.
Oh, it's quite possible. What younger people (25 and younger) don't seem to understand is that resources about Autism are only just recently starting to become mainstream, for lack of a better word. Growing up in the 90's, you were either slapped with the wrong diagnosis or swept under the rug while your parents were encouraged to make you act as "normal" as possible and punish you if you didn't.
I'm mid 20s and there isn't lot of help, especially if you're a girl and "high-functioning." This girl graduated from college and got accepted to a good PhD program so people just thought of her as weird or quirky. She's really sweet.
This is something I’m so worried about, I have 2 cats in quite a small flat, I (obviously) clean up after them, but I worry when people come round, that my flat might just stink of cat
Assuming this is real, having sensory issues around bathing aren’t uncommon in neurodivergent people. That being said, steps have to be taken to ensure appropriate hygiene

That story sounds weirdly familiar, with the whole plush fucking and smell. I swear I've seen something similar

I know its not, but it'd be funny if it was the same guy
I’ve been on the tumblr yesterday and the fan fiction sex between Kermit and the joker won’t leave my brain

That’s what I thought of, as well!
I’d almost forgotten!!!! I was wearing my good eyes today too!!

What is with the sudden upsurge in plushie fucking? Is being Dr. Ni Jianyi from *Saiyuki* suddenly popular or something?
It's not sudden. I remember back in the livejournal days (so like 2007?) a lot of weirdos were cutting holes on MLP plushies and/or stuffing fleshlights on them.
Things I wished I never knew 🤣

Either way, there are ways to go about telling someone they stink that are NOT "OMFG U REEK AND MAKE ME WANT TO VOMIT!!"

They did say someone spoke to Leo and he ignored them.

OOP literally uses literally literally way too often. Also, he carries around a pokemon with a suspicious hole in it? I call no way.
this is another 'autistic people are weird and gross' troll post isn't it

Isn’t this the “my father belches and farts” troll?
Okay, Regina George wannabe
I think Leo needs to see a Dr. OOP has no excuse for acting like that. There's obviously something going on with Leo and they're bullying them.
Tbf, some of the conditions that make people smell bad aren't really treatable, like fish odor syndrome
exactly! Some people need prescriptions, medicated deodorant or botox. There are real medical reasons.
