I've just remembered something. The fanboys I actually hate the most are those my little pony fanboys. They are all 20+ year old males and they only pretend to enjoy the show because they think it's really ironic that a grown man would love such a childish show, and they think liking a show about Ponys makes them 'cool'....ugh, I hate them so much...NEWSFLASH PEOPLE: IF YOU ARE AN ADULT MALE AND YOU WATCH A CHILDISH CARTOON ABOUT PONYS THEN TOU ARE NOT COOL!!!!!

argghhhhggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Driving stick fanboys. I get it slapshift is not the same as real shifting so what. My car is still faster and much cooler looking than yours. We came up with automatic for a reason, to make driving easier. Why would I want to make something be more complicated if doesnt have to.

I normally only see people with crappy cars preach driving stick and its because their jealous. They dont have a choice their stuck with their stick shift. So their just pissed, they have to stick shift their ugly cars while I zoom by them in by sweet automatic.

*glorious clutch control master race*

Amen PDF.

I'd like to point out the ignorance in this thread about My Little Pony:

There's a difference between "Kids show" and "For all ages."

Would you say movies like Ratatouille and Toy Story are only for kids because they are about little talking rats and toys? No, because they were made with all ages in mind and many of the mature themes and references will only be understood by the adults in the audience. My Little Pony shares that trait, and while it's PRIMARY demographic is indeed young girls, there's plenty in there for parents to enjoy as well, or people who just love quality entertainment.

Guys, there's references in that show to The Big Lebowski, Dr Who, and various internet memes like Chocolate Rain. It's not just for little kids.

More like a hypocritie guy who can't accept others point of view and opinion. I really shouldn't waste my time with random people like you who pop out of the blue and call me fanboy. Ive never heard of you. Maybe you should enter the discussions more often and debate with me rather than watching on the sidelines.

We've all heard of you, though, and your notoriety has a lot to do with the very reason that this thread was created.


I'm honored that you know me, I don't know you. So that makes me a celebrity here.

You are a celeb here, but more like the Lindsay Lohan type than the Brad Pitt type.

@MBP and others: I agree that some of them are annoying but I don't think liking MLP is wrong per se like some of you say. It's okay for a grown man to like a cartoon just as it's okay for grown men to play video games or do just whatever the hell they want. Just as long as they do not annoyingly express their love of the show at every turn, no matter how irrelevant it is.



When do MOP fans express their fandom in irrelevant threads? I've only ever seen them expressing their love in the MLP pony thread and in various other appropriate threads. It's not like if you find them sprouting MLP stuff inside a Halo thread or something.

Before I got one of the HD consoles, I'd heard mostly bad things about the 360. That might have been one of the factors in play when I got my PS3. Dont get me wrong Halo is great and everything.

Anyway, sometimes I feel bad for Nintendo fanboys. I used to be one of them until last summer. If all you play is Nintendo systems, then you are missing out on a LOT of great games.


+1 to this!

I was like that too until 2003 ;(

I still havent played all of the games I missed from the PSX-PS2 era :(

I was like this until 2007/8. I've got a lot of catching up to do.

One thing I've noticed from all groups is that posters seem to guide all their posts based off of their preferred choice. This is fine when dealing with topics that should be dependent on your preferred console. But its really annoying when dealing with something like sales - a topic independent if your preference - to see everyone using the data only when it fits their agenda. These people are usually deliberately pessimistic towards one company while being optimistic towards another, for no reason other than preference. It also happens when you see a bunch of people who manipulate the context of a situation to make their console seem better off.

And its not just sales. It also has to do with things like thread-making. I don't mind a person making only positive threads about their favorite company. But it drives me crazy when the same person posts nearly all negative threads about their least preferred console. People are so controlled by their preferred console that they are sincerely entrenched in this imaginary console war. They act like they have some sort of obligation to make their console seem better while also doing the opposite to the others. What are these people's purpise?

It is truly annoying when I see a user and I can predict the substance if his post simply because I know what company he favors. This happens to every fanbase though. It seems like nearly everyone is a bit fanboyish and they just can't see it.

Runa.... My little pony will never be acceptable to adults. I would prefer to be caught touching myself than watching my little pony.
