I'll probably go chill on the deck with my Iguana later. You are right complaining about fanboys probably doesn't help much but I was just thinking they are doing more harm than good. People that might be interested in another system might get turned off from that system if they see a bunch of people supporting that system dissing their current system. They might not want to be associated with that "group" of people. |
The people most annoyed by fanboys are other fanboys as they're the group most sensitive to fanboy remarks. If you find yourself getting upset at even small off-the-cuff remarks then you might actually be a fanboy yourself (whether or not you admit it).
As for harm... the people most harmed are fanboys themselves. By becoming narrow minded, they are specifically locking themselves out of a lot of fun experiences. Even worse, their own negative perception becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy when they would try games outside of their console/comfort zone. In fact, fanboys are quite pitiable.
