Forums - Gaming - A new breed of fanboy that is on the rise and needs to be recognised!

The kind of poster that hides behind the (sometimes falsified) story that they are multi-console owners and therefore able to operate as self appointed authorities or what represents absolute quality. e.g. My "rational" dislike of game X is more valid than your "irrational" love of game X because I play games on all consoles. Ergo your opinion is wrong.

^That sounds like a politician or a right wing ranting shock jock. "My opinion is fact, I make it all up. Everyone else is wrong!"

What I got out of this is that we are all fanboys; single console and multi-console owners alike. Your point is also inductive to those who own all consoles/platforms too.


I'm pretty familiar with a lot of users in this community and i can say that i really havn't seen too many people doing what i described. Ive seen a lot of people who are CLOSE to what i described but theirs only a few who have evolved beyond your regular fanboy.

Or a left-wing hack. 

@ OP

Yea, I have noticed quite a few while exploring the internet.  They say they own a system, yet all their comments are to downplay or bash the company who made said console.  Which makes this sad is that, most likely, 9 times out of 10 they don't really own the console.  They just want to make their word have more weight and/or not be labled a fanboy.

Playstation fans are the worst.

Am I a reverse Sony fanboy now?


How did you come to the conclusion that PS fans are the worst?

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.

We cant call them haters

 

It's too cliche. We need a new word for them. Also, you said that you have been aware of these level 2 fanboy for a while being that you are a Nintendo fan? Give me an example of 1 in a PM really quick that does this to Nintendo. Dont post it in here because the mods will get you

I don't fear the mods, so let's make your thread a bit more interesting.

Train wreck

I really can't believe you dropped a name and are still untouched 2 hours later lol wth

 

So.. Train Wreck.. Hmm

Do you really think he acts similar to what i described when it comes to Nintendo related things? ..interesting

This thread is certainly going places.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Spotting a fanboy is easy on here. It's funny to observe their behaviors and when they are called out on it, its entertaining to see them squirm (Quite a few on here). Anyways, for these guys, they exist all over the youtube community as well. I just call them haters.
