I tried to search this forum for a link to this article on here, but didn't find it referenced in a forum:

http://www.destructoid.com/fanboyism-should-be-called-religous-fandamentalism-158334.phtml

This article compares fanboys to religions fundamentalism, and suggests calling fanboys fandamentalists.  Commonalities the article sees between the two:

They pass off mere beliefs and theories as facts:

They have a creepy love fetish for something that doesn't show love back:

They respond to criticism with nothing but attacks:

They have a persecution complex:

They impose their will on other people:

They follow their leaders without question:

They hate other religious extremists:

They make normal people look bad:

 

Anyone here agree or disagree?

I actually had that thought before as well :D So, imo, a perfect description... the principles are the same ;)
