Yeah definitely hoarding behavior.
When stuff like this happens to people there is usually a lot of shame involved when it goes past a certain point which prevents getting help. These types of situations come to light through care notices to social work and often mental health problems are involved. Like someone commented, this person needs help, not ridicule.
With stories like this I wonder why it's even news and why we're hearing about it all across the world
Yeah it's sus. Because this sort of thing is pretty common in our glorious western capitalist hell. Obviously only to those who see these situations, but every apartement building probably hides some of these. Most people are probably completely unaware of how badly some are doing behind closed doors right next to them.
I don't think it's even a ChinaBad thing necessarily and more of a "shitty tabloids being shitty" thing. They love these sorts of "let's all point and laugh at the freak" stories.
The original source in the Kotaku article is mentioned to be The Sun
The Sun, ok... 
This is mental illness and I don't want to make fun of it.
The main thing I don't understand is why you would do this at a hotel. Like, you literally have cleaning staff there who will pick up your trash for you if you're such a slob. You have to intentionally keep them out in order to end up like this
Staff won't clean a room with the guest inside and he almost never left the room. Probably put up a do not enter sign on the very rare times he did leave and the room was probably a disaster by the time he left the room the first time, meaning he didn't want staff seeing it.
Yeah dummy the cleaning comes with the bill just step outside for half an hour, have a smoke break, get a coffee, get lunch.
Yeah mental illness doesn't really make a lot of sense at times.
Makes me feel like a clean little angel from heaven.
|At a hotel .... that reportedly specializes in catering to gamers and esports competitors....
I'd imagine that this wouldn't be shocking in an establishment that caters to this demographic.
"Boy is living the Asmongold dream." lmao
...why would you not just flush the toilet paper...
You don't flush toilet paper in most places in China because the plumbing clogs; it's actually very normal not to do this. Usually you take it out with the trash though.
Huh. Genuine culture shock moment. Is it easier on waste treatment, not dealing with the dissolved paper? Or just a cost trade-off for plumbing installation?
Edit: guess it also makes sense anywhere bidets are more prevalent.
I've used public bathrooms in the US that ask customers to throw used toilet paper in the garbage can for the same reason.
Maybe they thought it would flood??? But the alternative is literally living next to shit??? For 2 years???
The pipes are so small paper would clog it

Is he dead now?
That gamer? Xi.
