I imagine if you think about it hard enough, you'll realize that the reason why "biased" is allowed but "fanboy" isn't is because of connotation.
The word "bias" has a relatively neutral connotation. The word "fanboy" is quite negative and makes more assumptions than the word "bias" does. |
Depends on how you say it which is why i said make a judgement call. It is pretty obvious when somebody is using the word bias as a synonym to fanboy but because people can get away with it they do as you can with many rules right now.
The truth is, people who want to get around the rule book can do so easily. VGC creates a smarter version of a troll

Honestly, it still doesn't matter. The whole point of not allowing the word "fanboy" is because the word itself is the problem. People don't like being called fanboys. While people don't like being called "biased" either, there really isn't a way to get the word "bias" to get the same reaction as "fanboy" unless it has become personal between the user and yourself.

As you said people dont like being called biased either. Both are inflammatory. It is like calling someone stupid. Bannable but calling someone retarted is a worst way of saying it. Both are bannable though.
