i mean it doesnt have to be anime conventions its usually any kind of gathering where said yopic. of convention has a gathering of introverts, in particular, ones that have 0 sense of self awareness.
in terms of worst to less worse:
Card game tournament(sweaty, generally lack of AC, small venue cause cheap) < Video Game tournament (similar but in a room full of electronics, usually helped out by that their venue is larger) < anime conventions
Well, it's not only that, a lot of people are wearing costumes, that may or may not cause them to sweat far more than their normal day. A friend of mine wore a costume that involved a dress shirt and a coat, and Sept isn't really cold in GA. He used menthol to cover for his sweat though, so it wasn't too bad with him. My last costume (several years ago, I dunno where all the stuff is and can't afford to remake atm) involved dress shirt, a vest, and a heavy coat (trying to emulate this character) and it was hot as hell, especially in lines outside in the sun.
Even with baths and deodorant for some people in such situations it's not really enough.
ofc the cosplays have an effect as well, but theyre typically the minority at a convention vs those playing TCGs or Video games, who are often the majority.
the triple threat funny moment was San Jose 2016. Genesis 3 (Super smash bros tournament) took place at the same time and venue as Furcon, as well as a female volleyball tournament, all 3 generating sweat differently.

Man I can fucking smell this post. People will do all kinds of mental gymnastics to justify being lazy and gross.
I don't think it's mental gymnastics I think it's a lack of actual gymnastics, so to speak. Body odor mostly comes from sweating so if you don't sweat much you don't need deodorant near as much. Someone with a healthy body weight living a largely sedentary lifestyle in a cooler climate might not need it at all and might smell perfectly fine with showers every other day or even every third day. However, that's best case scenario and most people don't check all those boxes. If you're overweight, move around a lot, or just live in a warmer climate then that's not going to work.
I think the anime fans are just traumatized by the overwhelming stench of axe body spray from the high school gym changing room, and are now scared of deodorant
It's some gene that is mostly present in asians compared to whites, blacks, etc, my friend group has one individual that said he didn't use it, and he's black, everyone else will smell sour if stopped.
