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...
Wasn't this just to make grafittis on the seats invisible enough to deter~~mine~~ potential teenage artists?
Exactly. That was never an aesthetic choice.
Graffiti free is an aesthetic choice.
I've never seen Hiimdaisy art besides the P4 comic that never got finished, wow.
Say what?
This artist is named Gigi D.G. apparently, but their webcomic is called Hiimdaisy, and they did a silly Persona 4 webcomic years ago that people like me still quote to this day. It got a comic dub on Youtube by a channel named Sapphire. I can immediately tell by the artstyle that it's them.
They have a TV Tropes page.
