I really try hard to curb my fan-girl isms. To the point I'm really not sure.
I guess deep down my nostalgia at certain games grips me no matter their faults.
But I don't really like to champion games unless I feel someone is just plain being an uninformed numpty.
Like World of Warcraft I guess, I wouldn't call me fanboy/girl, but I would certainly leap to it's defense in the face of: "Durr, only no-lifer basement dwellers play WoW, gawd."
And that to me is not fan-ing in any way, I'm gently reminding said person to do their research. (And if they fail to reciprocate to that kinder approach, THEN I can jump to fanboy mode).
