I have an issue with the term fanboy as it is clearly gender biased. This is unfair to female gamers as it assumes that females can't be over-the-top fans of consoles and/or games and that they can't be depreciative of other peoples' consoles.

Hence the poll - let's find a gender neutral term so that we can bash everyone and be inclusive!


lol, tell me this a bad joke,  some dope bet you that you couldnt start a post so lame that anyone would even repond.  but we are, rofl, so you win.  go get your winnings and ill try to forget the 3 min of my life this crap post took from my life.

This is all very serious - in fact we are in the sixth page for this thread.

Btw, sackperson is a derivative of sackboy. For sony fanpersons I guess :)

I can't call them fangirls and think about consoles. Fangirls in my mind are eternally connected to yaoi.

or twilight... ¬_¬

wait wait....so you dont like twilight?

i thought it was ok, until i realised that compared to Anne Rice's vampire books, it was really just a load of shite. good premise - vamp falling for a human - but there were so SO many better ways it could have been realised. and now there are vampires everywhere in the media.. :/

I like trashleg . . . Being politically correct isn't everything. Instead it causes problems, like WAR

why thank you very much, war is a bad thing.

well in my language, the plural of him and her is they as a masculin word... the only way to have a feminin plural is to have only feminin things... just one guy in a group of 100 girls would make you refer to them in a masculin way.
