Forums - Gaming - Fanboys suffer from low self esteem! It's proven by science. Suck it!

Everyone on this site including the OP and myself is a fanboy, so pointless video is pointless.

That's not what the video said at all.


The main point it was making was that fanboys tend to equate a brand with how they see themselves and anyone who says different, feeling the opposite way of how they feel about the brand is committing a personal attack. Essentially it is low self esteem when it comes right down to it.

So if I wasn't born with such an insufficient manly apparatus, I wouldn't blindly worship Nintendo?


No, you would worship Sony.



What should we suck on ?

This 1000x. That's probably one of the most annoying things to face when discussing in this site.

I don't take loyalty to other brands a a personal attack.



Like sports fans, some people just want to identify with something and be apart of a group of like-minded people, and cheer for something that is greater then any individual person (entity).

Doesn't mean you have low self esteem, just means you have an outlet to express yourself as apart of a greater group. Being loyal to corporations is nothing new. Look at Apple.
