Yes, but I think "FanDom" implies "Fanatical Domination" meaning someone in The "FanDom" of a certain thing is sexually aroused by dominating other with their fanatical following of said thing.
That's the only explanation I've been able to come up with and I find it hilarious so I'm sticking with it.
And Cons are about conning people into buying fan merchandize and provide a free advwrtisement in a form of cosplay.
My daughter likes going to cons just to look at the cosplay and she never buys anything, so I guess they only conned her out of the entry fee.
And fans are blowhards trying to push their favourite thing on others a spread it further and further.
It's "Fanatical Domain" but I like your definition better
