Such depends on the impact the said item has on a person's life. Things like Star Trek have had a larger impact than say Pong. And with fanboyism, videogame consoles are particularly connected to generating a very strong emotional attachment by their nature, thus fanboys who are the religious extreme form of fandom. |
I said fanboyism breeds insanity 2 pages ago. You aren't following the argument that fanhood != worship.
You can be a fan without being irrational. When you worship something you can't, because you'll argue absurdities to continue your belief.
