We are all guilty of being a fan boy. Something we love, whether consoles, games, films, music we defend. Some defend more than others, going abit over the top by swearing, threatening or arguing over pointless topic because your passionate about it. I understand this. But the anti-fan boys i dont get, those that hate a certain game (Halo? Pokemon?) and will attack and argue and complain about it as much as, or more than, the fan boys. But will always call those that defend the game as "fan boys" as an insult even though they themselves are putting the same amount of time and energy over something they don't even like. That makes no sense at all.
I guess some would call that being a troll, but some put so much effort into their arguments that you know they legitimately hate the game. But I wonder why they bother to argue? Why is it so important that they want other people to hate or love a game? Is it because they can claim superiority over a person that hates/loves the opposite of you and by proving all their reasons for loving a game wrong that it shows they are retarded for liking that game or music in the first place?
What do you think? Is it a simple case that people like to argue online, to be proved right all the time and not just accept that others have different tastes themselves.
