I saw like 5 people in that video in cosplay. Clearly some black anime and comic book fans that happened to be members of the same fraternity and decided to celebrate it. Why do people let things like this bother them?
Black people arguing about black people ruining Dreamcon

I've never been to an anime or comic convention so I might not know what I'm talking about, but they seem like one of those things that were probably a lot more fun before the Internet and social media.
Now you got a bunch of streamers, vloggers, and content creators on the hunt to fabricate content, trying to go viral by any means.

Mainstream Black Culture always gobbles up and homogenizes "Off Brand"/"Left of Center"/"Nerdy/Earthy/Crunchy" Black Culture.
The Borg.
Cats went from Ray Barbee and Ron Allen to
Crenshaw Skate Culture. The skateboard is barely in the picture.
Happens with everything.
Afro-Punk used to be literally Black Kids playing dat white boy stuff....
Before long Erykah Badu is headlining.
(And Badu used to be on some different stuff, but the Destiny's Child/Total/Escape fans jumped on her band wagon)
I've heard that at many Black festivals, like Freaknik and others, this has been a pattern. From college kids hanging out and socializing in the late 80s to kids twerking on cars in the late 90s, it seems to happen every time.

This is why when you get a small community or group of people you need to get their contact info and keep up with them. You can always take that same group of people and get it started somewhere else because you always got the essence and common interests.
I used to play FFXI heavy back in 2004 with a group of nerdy people I met on the game. Linked up in-person a couple times and been playing new games with these same folks for the last 20 years.
Also did something similar when I was making music. That’s how I was able to chop it up with some dope ass producers everyone now knows about.
For many things that have a culture: anime, music, etc. when the “normals” come shyt gets played.
This is basically what happened during the Kenny Beats Twitch streams. At some point it basically becomes “hookup” culture and less about playing games, art, beatmaking, etc. That scares all the talented people (especially the talented girls) away so it’s great to keep up with the day ones when you have a chance to. For example the Kenny Beats streams became less about his Reverb chains and breaking down the music and instead more about trying to trend.
Nowadays the early crowd can use things like Discord as well to make it a lot easier to stay in contact and share within your tight community.
It’s always been about true artists and lovers of culture vs critics and the normals. Sorry it sounds snobby, but it is what it is. New people are fine if they’re as nerdy, give them the invite.

It happens all the time, just in different contexts.
Here's Jeezy talking about his steakhouse
Jeezy's 'Classy' Steakhouse Descended Into 'Freaknik' After Spilling Ownership Secret
These folks show up bring their cultue, alienate the OGs, disrupt the vibe and the following years the thing falls apart. (c) C. Achebe.
If it was white people, y'all would see it as gentrifying.
But because it's not, folks give these people a pass.
Stick to the theme or fukk off. shyt not complicated.

Them bruhs were just stepping. Wtf man?! 
We always talk about how white folks do black folks but we don’t talk enough about how black folks do black folks. You embarrassed my guy? That stepping might be some of the least embarrassing shyt that would happen there

I agree 
Turned something fun that was intended for a group of people in society that have the same interest/hobby
…into some clout-chasing, attention whoring ratched bullshyt
They probably would’ve preferred more asians show up than fraternities and black influencers

If it was cleared with the Dreamcon organizers beforehand, then 
If not, then that's the usual things-get-outta-hand-when-people-don't-police-themselves phenomenon. You don't go uninvited to someone else's event to advertise your own thing, that's basic courtesy.
