It used to be that Arisia was for fans of The Genres, of art, literature, gaming, et cetera... Now it seems that the focus is on being a fan of being a fan! Fandom has turned it eye on itself, and it likes what it sees.
It's self-congratulatory and narcissistic, and has definitely made Arisia lackluster for the past few years.
