I have literally never seen a Utilikilt outside of a con before. When I've gone to cons, I've seen quite a few, but never in my day-to-day life. They're bizarre to me, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

Maybe I'm blind, but this room does not look full to me. (Chris also looks like he really doesn't want to be there. Shoutout to the girl(?) in the second row covering her face from the camera, as if she wants to prevent any photographic evidence that she was there.)
I count about 120 people across those pictures, and that's before the panel even started. We know one person there was an intrepid kiwi reporting in on your dumb panel (thank you for your service
@Papa Adolfo's Take'n'Bake), and according to his report a fair amount of people were leaving early. Who knows how many others were just there out of morbid curiosity? A little over a hundred people in a convention that pulls in 80,000+ attendees.
Face it, Robert, you're not a draw in any way, shape, or form. Your audience is nothing but fat, pasty neckbeards like yourself whinging about the good ol' days (no offense, Adolfo). You're a bitter old man who's past whatever meager prime he had, and you've failed to grow your audience to anyone but the few miserable people who think like you do.
This is the best your "cred" could do. Great job.
