Why do fanboys...

[drakenabarion]

I think you forgot the question "Why do Fanboys post/bash/yell so vigorously in hate to anything that's not what they want on Youtube?"

e.g. In response to a comparison video for Xbox360 and PS3 versions of Assassins Creed:
"PS3 is the ghey. You is retard for not having Xbox360."

 

[Knonsense]

Well, the more a fanboy's favorite console sells, the more games said fanboy will have access to on said console. The more another console sells, the less the fanboy's does. If a fanboy's friends buy the same console as him, they can play together and/or lend each other games, controllers, etc.

The more a fanboy's favorite game sells, the more people play that game's multiplayer and the more sequels get made. The more another game for the same demographic sells, the less the fanboy's does.

Marketing is designed to do this to some extent. Fanboys read specialized press and tell their more casual friends about what's on the market. The obnoxiousness is an unfortunate by product.

Also, people like to look down on other people sometimes. Talking about how stupid it is to derive fun from something that the fanboy can't have fun with (EDIT: or afford when in addition to what they're already playing) is a way for some fanboys to do so.

If I stick up for the fanboys and say 'oh they're not that bad'...

does that make me Fanboy Fanboy?

The "FAN" bit is only there because all fanboys do is blow around air. Their words amount to nothing more than that.

 

[Jon Etheridge]

Fans are out of their minds.

because some people believe there console is descended from gods penis in sperm form and became a perfect object of entertainment and any other forms of entertainment come from satens ass.

Why do fanboys defend their favorite console or game company with such fervor?

Basic tribal instincts with the company being the leader. People will viciously defend the guy in charge, which they do.

Why do fanboys attack other people's consoles?

Human nature. People seem to be completely incapable of understanding that other people might see the world differently, or draw different conclusions from the same information.

Why do fanboys attack anyone who has a criticism of a game, company, or console without even considering the validity of the criticism?

See question one.

Why do fanboys protect the status quo against positive criticism, improvement, progress, and feedback?

Because progress is usually bad for the big companies.

Why do fanboys insulate their object of affection from any objective examination?

See previous question.

Why do fanboys act against their own self interest?

Stupidity.

Why do fanboys even exist?

Because fanatical loyalty is bred into us as a species.

Fanboys are often the ultimate suckers, they are at the front lines of console wars, they promote propaganda and make excuses for their favorite company, they defend companies against criticism that could improve the industry, and who benefits at the end? Whatever corporation they are representing as unpaid goons.

why do people make pointless threads like this that have been made many times before?

yea ^^^^ This. Pointless thread that will incite flamewars and butthurt people.

Because they refuse to believe that some people have different opinions and that the things they love have flaws?

 

[TheProfessor134]

Because they are people who have nothing else to do with their lives except for attack anyone who says anything negative to what they are obsessed with.

Usually.. Whatever negative thing the person said to get themselves bitched at, is actually a logical argument.

My question would be why do fanboys insist on labeling everyone else as a fanboy for disagreeing with them, while they display all common fanboyish behaviors?

 

[Logic 0]

The answer is easy there crazy!

 

[Sethzard]

Because they belive that their pitiful opinion can help their chosen company.

 

[ShankHA32]

I personally was a fanboy until i realized that if i really wanted to do something for the company i loved, i would buy everything good from the company, enjoy it, and not feel the need to defend it on forums.

 

[Psycho-Boy-Jack]

Because mama dropped them on their heads too much

 

[seanbon112]

Nothing better to do/lacking rational thinking.

 

[so_bored678]

I used to be a halo fanboy. I admitt that now, but i was like 8 and playd game cube on a regular basis. Now that i have had a more colorful experience of good games, and yahtzee's videos, i am probily as bad a critic as him, but you have no choice to but to say that wii sucks and ps3 could have been much better
