Re: Has fandom changed much in the past 10 years?

the old scifi lit crowd that thinks it runs Worldcon and that's the only con to con

I know what you mean! The kind of fandom I saw as a kid wasn't even like the Trekkies in the SNL "Get a Life" sketch, fandom was That Guy. You know, that middle aged guy wearing suspenders with lots of buttons on them, each one bearing a witty saying that might be Tolkein related, might not, and he is Pontificating Loudly about an author whose books I wasn't quite old enough to get into. If he's not wearing the suspenders/button combo, his is probably wearing a tweed jacket with patches in the elbows.

That kind of gatekeeping is apparently what caused a schism that brought about the Big Con in my hometown a little under 20 years ago. The people running the former big con where like "We want to have serious discussions but only about books that get profiled in Locus and do we really need an Anime Room at this con? Really?" And other people were like "That's nice, but we want to have serious discussions about Farscape and video games and then fart around with cosplay. Bye!"
