You seem to know a lot about anime conventions, do you really attend those? XD
Why not? They're comedy gold and are fun to attend with company.
Some of the panels aren't pure cringe, surprisingly. Writers, artists, and actors attend, trailers are shown there before elsewhere sometimes, they host game tournaments, and there's raves with crazy lasers and costumes worth intoxicating yourself for.
The fans are worth mocking, but the conventions themselves have some redeeming qualities outside of laughing at natural comedy.
