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.

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 13 points 15 hours ago

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 determine potential teenage artists?

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 11 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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.

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.
