Point being, I dont get why fanboys in gaming are looked down upon. Competition and rivalry is present in all things in the world and in our lives. So why does the parts that have to do with gaming have to be supressed?

Im gonna say it: gamers who don't like rivalries and competition are:

A. Just a gamer who plays games for his own pleasure. This doesn't apply to any of us because they would thereofore have no need to talk about their ideas on a forum.

B. Soccer mom. AKA "Lets all just be nice to eachother and HAVE FUN!"

Ya thats right, I just called people wimpy soccer moms. Pick a side (and follow the forum rules) or drive your kids to practise :)

You can be a fan of all of them.  The reason fanboys are annoying is because the arguments that they make are absurd and tainted with bias.  They try selling the product acting like they work for them.  It would be different if there attitudes were different but that isnt the case.  For example an xbox fan will bash anything sony just because it is sony.  Thats kind of dumb because no matter what you say uncharted is good. But an an xbox fanboy will bash it anyways and just make him or herself look like an idiot.

So what? You laugh (or fire back) at the absuridy and move on.
