The fact that there’s a room full of people cheering her on for this shit just makes me so upset. I remember when anime cons didn’t hire “comedians” to rant about ThE GaTeKeePers
yeah, i still have some faith in anime fans. There was an anime convention last year or 2 years ago i think?, where there was a presentation that was just bitching about loli. And there was literally no one in the audience. It was funny.
Con people pay the cost of often a small car just to go to these events once all expenses are tallied. A NYC con is almost certainly an investment to get to go to. They need to cheer to avoid the uncomfortable thought that they might have wasted all that money, its pure sunken cost.
Its what made the "Is this an April Fool's Joke" guy at Blizzcon stand out so much, because of how rare it is for people to not just nod and say "I'm having so much fun" to everything at these.

You're assuming a bunch of them aren't there because her agent paid them to fill the crowd.
It's AnimeNYC, it's filled with true believers.

I can also tell you that 5-10% of attendees at an anime "comedy panel" are sober.
Truth, animecons are often a front for a lot of weebs to get together and fucking party.
Often in really gross, drug fueled orgies that makes everybody worse by knowing they happened.
