It was scientifically proven that the squiggly lines make the seat seem cleaner than it actually is.*

*Or not.

The only pattern that can seemlessly integrate vomit, yoghurt, chocolate and bubblegum into itself and look completely unchanged afterwards.

That's why hotel carpets have similar godawful patterns. You can't spot the stains.

Hey now, be careful about what heresy you speak; the Dragon-Con Cult of the Marriott Carpet doesn't fuck around!

Do you have some context on this, please ? I am curious.

It is legitimately a significant thing. At last year's con, I'm sure I saw at least hundreds of people doing carpet-patterned cosplay.

Also, here's a video of a recent Dragon-Con parade. The carpet cult section starts at about 24 minutes in: https://youtu.be/_ft9AEq5GuA?t=1440

(There's one Deadpool/Marriott Carpet/inflatable T-Rex cosplayer who decided to march with the preceding Deadpool group, LOL.)

That's just a patch of carpet.

Yup. Just imagine what the seats would look like if they were white. Probably also a graffiti pattern, but an extremely unpleasant one...
