A normal gamer/person would be in the middle of the scale. Not at the polar opposite of a fanboy.

The opposite of a fanboy is a hater.

A fanboy is an obsessive, overthinking finer details that don't matter because they think they do.

So the opposite is surely someone who just doesn't care.

Hmm, pie.

On the passion vs. non-passion axis, the opposite of a "fanboy/girl" would likely be an apathetic person. In other words, people we probably don't hear from because they don't even care to post. On the like vs. dislike axis, the opposite of a fanboy/girl would be a hater. The similarity between a fanboy and a hater is that they're both filled with passion, just a different form of it.
