I don't blame you at all.

I haven't done many cons, just a bunch of film festivals and honestly, it was either the same BS questions about film making that you could easily look up online or just blatantly praising the director/actor.

Kids can be cute, but I've also seen some where the child shouldn't be there (hello Nerdist podcast live!)

Oh yeah, getting the same questions all the time at every single film festival would be grating after a while.

I found that kids can ask some of the more interesting questions. Like, I was sitting through a Phineas and Ferb panel at SDCC and this little girl came up and asked the showrunners point blank why there weren't any "girl superheroes" in the P&F/Marvel crossover special (that got a massive 'Oooooooh!' from the crowd) and judging by their reaction, I don't think they were prepared to get that right out of the gate, lmao.

I'd rather have more moments like that, than some mouthbreather going up and setting off the cringe meter.

See but a kid there would be appropriate. I was at the 10:30 Nerdist podcast at SDCC and no one under the age of 14/15 should have been there, but there was a kid who was maybe 8 or 9 that went up for the Q&A.

Sometimes you get really introspective questions at the film festival Q&As, like I didn't know just how passionate Richard Dreyfuss was about civics and government and how he really thinks more needs to be taught at the lower levels of school.

Again Nerdist podcast where the people just go up to praise how much the podcast saved their lives. I don't know, it just feels really awkward to say this to an entire room.
