In the end people are still gathering mainly because of their love of anime. The social aspect has grown because of how people have made connections while going to these things. Artist Alley hasn't changed much in the past 5 years and it'd be hard to deny that things in there aren't 99% anime related and the other 1% could be argued either way ie: steampunk jewelry/ chainmail.
If anything I'm proud to be part of a con where the experience itself, the people, and connections congoers create can eclipse the thing the event can sometimes be about.
That's one of the things that makes Fanime truly special and stand out from other conventions.
