I am sick of people thinking deodorant is optional

i’m sick of people thinking that they can judge others on a normal bodily function and that the only way they can be accepted is to wear something that is harmful/poisonous to your body. just because some men in the 1880’s decided bodily odor was no longer acceptable. 

bitch you stink 

In all seriousness there are millions of people out there who due to debilitating mental illnesses don’t have the same standards of hygiene as the average (there has been at least one ‘support and love these people!’ text post to that effect recently, which I suppose was most likely taken as seriously as most ‘support and love these people!’ text posts are.) Schizoaffective disorder, depression, even certain hideous types of OCD (yooooo) can lead to a person severely neglecting their personal hygiene. And then on top of that you’ve got millions of people who cannot afford deodorant, cannot afford to wash their clothes, are allergic to almost all of it etc etc. There’s no surefire way to judge a person’s circumstances.
