Dylan Mulvaney’s Speaking Event at Penn State Draws Mockery Online
Dylan Mulvaney, a popular TikTok star, faced ridicule after failing to attract a crowd during a speaking event at Penn State on Tuesday evening. The event, organized by the Student Programming Association (SPA), was funded by student fees, as reported by The Daily Mail.
A photo shared by the Young America’s Foundation showed a nearly empty auditorium, sparking further criticism. Daily Wire host Michael Knowles commented on the photo, quoting Robert Frost and stating, “Hell is a half-filled auditorium.”
It’s so brutal I don’t even want to mock him for it. To quote Robert Frost, “Hell is a half-filled auditorium.” https://t.co/bQ6Wy8npJQ

Furthermore, Daily Wire host Matt Walsh celebrated the lack of attendance, claiming victory over Mulvaney’s reputation. He stated, “Now he can’t draw a crowd and he’s radioactive to companies that associate with him.”
We were accused by some on the Right of helping Mulvaney by “making him famous.” But in fact we made sure his brand was viewed as it really is: toxic, embarrassing and ridiculous. Now he can’t draw a crowd and he’s radioactive to companies that associate with him. Total victory. https://t.co/imJQHAKqgt

Mulvaney, known for his TikTok fame, has amassed a large following on the platform. However, Tim Pool, host of the podcast and web show “Timcast,” dismissed Mulvaney’s popularity, attributing it to social media algorithms and curious onlookers. Pool described Mulvaney as a person suffering and being encouraged by a mob of spectators, as evidenced by the empty auditorium.

During the event, Mulvaney discussed his personal experience with “transitioning” and the controversy surrounding his endorsement of Bud Light, which allegedly led to a decline in the brand’s consumer base, according to Penn State’s Daily Collegian. Mulvaney criticized Bud Light for exploiting his identity and transgender status, describing it as “ugly.”

Art News writer Warner Todd Huston described the event as a “bust,” highlighting the low turnout and suggesting that Mulvaney’s popularity may be waning. The ridicule continued on social media platforms, with users sharing memes and jokes about the sparse attendance at the event.
Dylan Mulvaney, known for his comedic and relatable videos on TikTok, had apparently failed to translate his online success into a successful speaking event. It is worth noting that Mulvaney’s speaking event was focused on the topic of transitioning to adulthood and was sponsored by Bud Light, a well-known brand.
The online mockery and criticism directed at Mulvaney raises questions about the way in which social media influencers are perceived in the offline world. While Mulvaney’s online presence might have garnered him millions of followers, it seems that this popularity did not necessarily translate into real-life support or attendance.
This incident also highlights the power of social media in shaping public opinion and the potential consequences for individuals who fail to meet expectations. In a world where online reputation can make or break careers, Mulvaney’s inability to attract a crowd at Penn State could have lasting implications for his professional opportunities and partnerships.
It is important to consider, however, that public events such as speaking engagements can be influenced by various factors beyond an individual’s control, including timing, location, and competing events. Nevertheless, the significant amount of online mockery and the attention it received indicate the potential impact of public perception on an individual’s career.
This incident serves as a reminder that while online fame can provide a platform for individuals to share their ideas and gain a following, it does not guarantee offline success or acceptance. The event at Penn State has demonstrated the fickle nature of online popularity and the scrutiny that social media influencers face when their offline endeavors do not live up to expectations.
As for Dylan Mulvaney, he has yet to publicly address the low attendance at his speaking event. It remains to be seen how he will navigate this setback and whether it will have any long-term impact on his career. Ultimately, this incident illustrates the perils and challenges of building a brand and reputation in the digital age.
