What does a fanboy want to achieve in hating a company?

i honestly dont know whats wrong with them. it must be the fact that the company owns them so much they go insane

I personally find the vids of those hilarious! Because hey who doesn't love a good explosion or chainsaw action? And of the destruction of a console to boot? I just find it so funny to watch those. Of all kinds of systems that I love too lol!

To be honest I used to be a huge fanboy, back in the day when I only loved ninty and hated every other system. (I never destroyed systems though lol!) It's hard to explain really.

Here's the best way I could put it. It's sort of like being a hardcore fan of the Yankees. You love that team so much, but you absolutely hate their rivals. Also, you shoot down those who say anything bad against the Yankees and take offense to what they said. Cause you feel obliged as the fan you are to defend your team.

Of course I know that not all Yankees fans are like this, but it's the best example I can give. It's pretty much like that. I tried other things though, gave them a chance and now I'm a multiconsole gamer!

These fanboys are just so wrapped up in the idea that the whole thing is a giant competetion that they miss out on great games. I pity them.

What pitiful souls they are.

It was never a fanboy to begin with, the overly obsessive plastic worshipers should be used in a term as in, Nintard, Xbot, Sony Drone, and PC Elitist.

Original Fanboys were passionate fan of various elements of geek culture.

Fanboys in today's society is
an extreme fan or follower of a particular medium or concept, whether it be sports, television, film directors, video games (the most common usage), etc.

Known for a complete lack of objectivity in relation to their preferred focus. Usually argue with circular logic that they refuse to acknowledge. Arguments or debates with such are usually futile. Every flaw is spun into semi-virtues and everything else, blown to comedic, complimentary proportions.

Known for using the phrase
"Object of affection = Best Ever"
However, while people only really say that as hyperbole, fanboys truly believe it.

Troll the internet to spread the gospel.

Insult/chastise others for using public forums to express an objective opinion, no matter how constructive or, respectful it may be. (Go ahead and admit that it's a good game/movie/etc. This fact and anything else will be promptly ignored in favor of cherry picking the negative, and beating you over the head with it.

Tend to resort to petty annoyance replies when backed against the wall. Usually grammar attacks and non-replies.
"Final Fantasy VII is the best RPG ever!"
"Ocarina of Time is the best game ever!"
"Linux is the best OS ever!"
"Xbox is the best console ever!"
"Dragonball Z is the best show ever!"

The sad thing is, fanboys don't realize, that these companies that fuel their passion, don't really give a damn about us. To me, defending a multi-national corporation like their your own family, is ridiculous. These organizations don't come to your house and help you when you're sick, they don't help you move, or drive you to the airport. They don't support you in any way. It's a business, not a friendship. As soon as you can no longer buy their product, you disappear to them.

Its not like anyone took him seriously after hearing HD blue tint.

In my level of experience for this gen: Wii>PS3>PC>Xbox
>I only say PC 3rd due to my shit specs, don't take this as something out of context.
