From my perspective, it almost seems more like anime/cosplay folks don't see themselves as part of the greater SF/F communitee rather than the SF/F folks rejecting Anime folks.....but there could certainly be other view points on that. It seems like the Anime folks don't just get into the Anime, they become intrigued by Japanese culture as a whole and they move off in that direction rather than identiifying with the SF/F elements in the stories and going further in that direction.

When I was first getting involved in Fandom back when dirt was clean, I quickly figured out that costumers don't filk and filkers don't wear costumes so I was sort of forced to decide which area I was going to concentrate on- clearly costuming won out. I think that fandom has been fissured if not fractured for a long time.
