Forums - General - Why there was nothing wrong with my Fanboy Game.

The term fanboy was coined to describe someone who really likes a particular company. A true fan. People have their reasons and there is nothing wrong with this. The word Fanboy was catchy for a title but I guess I could of used fan. It wasn't meant to be derogatory. People who like a certain sports team have no shame in the team they like. However in the video game industry people get too insecure when that word is mentioned. I have said I played games from all companies yet I do have a soft spot for Nintendo. Most of the games I like happen to come from Nintendo. There is nothing wrong with that. I also have a favorite hockey and baseball team as well.

We as gamers need to overcome certain barriers. The first is to appreciate all games for what they are. Developers made games for us to have fun. The second is to not be ashamed if you enjoy games from a certain company. No one should be able to tell you what you do and don't like. I'm curious to know who closed my thread and what are their reasons. Fanboy is nothing more than a word. I am a Leafs fanboy. I am a Nintendo Fanboy. I can also see objectively and enjoy all games. Embarassment, shame, and insecurities are barriers. Maybe those were the reasons my thread was closed.

LoL. Montana thinks I am a fanboy.



Your thread was a flame magnet, Ben closed it and I think he was right about it, if you are ok outing yourself as a fanboy fine, but don´t make a list labeling others as fanboys and encouraging others to vote on who is the bigger fanboy, oh and a fanboy is not like beeing a big fan of something, it means you have irrational hate towards others and that is a bad thing.
