I think people fight a little TOO passionately for their chosen fanboy subjects, but it's a regularly accepted social phenomenon: People fight for what they like. Hell, even people on our review team have favorites. We're professional and don't let bias get in the way, but there are definitely "PS3 guys" and "Nintendo guys" and "Xbox guys". |
This sentence caught my attention. Sure, people fight for things when fighting is necessary to keep those things, or to acquire new things that they want. The phrase "fight for" implies that the person fights in order to obtain something they don't currently have. This can be the object in question, or it can be assurance that they will keep the object. Here, it makes sense. But when people fight for things that they already own and which aren't vulnerable in any way (such as games/consoles), then it stops making any sense and becomes silly.
Nothing wrong with being silly though.
