Using "fanboy" in the plural is fine, I should think, especially since it's derogatory when used in the plural. "Fangirls" is generally used in the plural when referring to groups that are primarily female - so it's not so much gender biased as it is a statement concerning the speaker's expectations of gender ratios in a given discussion.

"Fangirl" or "fanboy" in the singular isn't necessarily negative, of course, but since they're in the singular there's no reason to not use the term that corresponds with the subject's gender identity.

but.. i feel that when it comes to videogames, being called a "fangirl" somehow has less intensity than being a "fanboy", because girls will get fangirlish about just about anything ¬_¬

let me be a fanboy k? :)

Girls are fanatical about just anything, must be due to estrogen or something..  No offence Trashleg..  But your gender seems to be emotianlly instable at the BEST of times...  However, you are hawt, so you get a pass

hahaha that is precisely what i was saying (see bold)

i've been awful today ;__;

but thanks

Or generally they're really known simply just as 'fans'.

Nobody calls 'fans' of a sports team that loves one team and really hates another a 'fanboy' of their team.



joke thread right?

everyone knows girls dont play games : p

 

edit: just realise Thrashleg is in this thread : S



Pretty much what's been said. Fanboy intensifies the idea that someone has an irrational hatred/liking towards something. Fangirl doesn't convey that.

Besides, it's not like it matters. Political correctness is annoying sometimes.

Quite frankly, I didn't even know that Sega fans still existed until recently, what happened to you guys? Oh right... it's a sore subject. Sorry for bringing it up...
