Not liking a particular company/console isn't fanboying, people just call it that because they can't handle the fact that someome doesn't like their console/company of choice.


It's not about "not liking" a company. It's about trashing that specific company every chance you get.

 

What's aggravating is how slick some of them are. They throw in a small complient in-between the trashing to make them not look like a........ fanboy??

 

THIS IS WHY WE NEED A NAME FOR THESE FUCKING THINGS!

Isn't that what we call a hater?



This thread is so cute. It's like a kid with rich parents who buy him everything suddenly understanding where money comes from.

The people you are describing are known as haters. We Nintendo fans have been all too aware of their existence for many years.



Wouldnt a reverse fanboy be a hater girl?

So a Reverse Sony Fanboy would be: A MS/Nintendo hater girl?



The main problem is the fact that many people lack respect for anything they don't like.

What about people who are fans a multiple consoles and bash all of the console manufacturers? I'm a Sony fanboy but I don't praise everything they do like a lot of people on here do. I have no problem bashing the company for their incompetence, which is on a regular basis.



Pics or didn't happen.

Unfortunately this a trait that many lack. It seems when people buy their console they take an oath of allegiance to never bash the console they bought and rally against the opposing consoles. It makes no sense to me. It just doesn't.

You should call out BS as you see it. As simple as that. But if you ever point out something wrong with a console or that fanbase, you get instantly labelled as a fanboy without any sort of objective thinking. WTF?



 

I think they are just haters, and going by the description in the op, I think Iam a MS hater. yea right, I always knew lol



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

I'm just happy I'm apart of a site that recognizes fanboys and the rights assumed to them. At Ign the comments are just filled with gifs and memes that oftentimes don't relate to the articles.
