I knew someone who didn’t see the point of wearing any, yet they had a noticeable “funk”. Turned out they’re anosmic.

What’s wrong with not wearing deodorant? That shit has a ton of aluminum and other garbage in it. It ruins your clothes. You just need to wash and change your clothes regularly.

The BO AOE cloud that follows not wearing deodorant is what’s wrong with not wearing it.
Lots of them do have aluminum, but more and more brands now have new formulations without it. Most of the mainstream ones in my area have variants. There are also more natural ones available like Dr. Squatch, but I haven’t had good luck with it (melted during summer, but was effective).
As far as ruining your clothes, do you mean staining the armpit area? I’ve only had that happen to a couple of tshirts years ago with Axe deodorant sticks.

I generally use Degree (there’s only like 4 deoderant options in my local stores and I can choose between Oldspice which my wife hates, Axe which smells like a middle school dance in all the worst ways, Suave which never lasted the full day when I tried it or Degree) and I’ve noticed some older shirts have gotten some minor staining on the inside, but its literally only visible on the inside and only if you really hunt for it

SO MUCH THIS. My dad has refused to use deodorant my entire life. You don’t want to do anything around him after about 2PM because he showers every morning and reeks of BO by the end of the day (he also matches the meme about only using Head and Shoulders for literally everything in the shower just to complete the mental image for you)

Antiperspirants contain aluminum, not deodorants.

The aluminium salts are the effective ingredient that stops us from sweating. Products that contain aluminium salts are called anti-transpirants because of that.
There is also no reason to call them garbage, because besides of being effective against sweat, they don’t harm us. That was a myth, disproven for years now.
