What is wrong with being a Fanboy?
Well I want to explore things here that people may find strange here. Namely the concept that fanboys aren't a bad thing.
Okay, so what is the bad thing about Internet terrorists?
- They spam
- They troll
- They flamebait
- They have ridiculous terminology
And what's wrong with fanboys?
- They spam
- They troll
- They flamebait
- They are blind to negativity about their chosen fanboyee
- They have ridiculous terminology
- Hypocrisy
Sherlock Holmes I am not, but I see some correlation between the two. So if we narrow down the points to spam, trolling and flamebaiting, then perhaps terminology, we can actually see that the difference is that, when we refer to fanboys, we are referring to Internet terrorists, that also share a fanboy element.
If you were to analyse me, a Sony droid, as I am sure I have been dubbed somewhere without me noticing, I only actually have the following elements:
- They are blind to negativity about their chosen fanboyee
- Hypocrisy
Yes, I am blind to all negativity about my choice! I can debate anything that is thrown at the PS3. And Hypocrisy, I try to keep this to a minimum, so you generally won't find me moaning about fanboys (or as we've established it's actually Internet terrorists), rather their hypocrisy, so I am not hypocritical. Obviously, I am only human, and hypocrisy is our nature, but it's nice to be able not to flaunt it like some people do so obviously, as if, they are celebrating a hypocrisy carnival.
So next time you jump to use the word fanboy, think about how hypocritical you might sound, and think whether or not, it's actually just an Internet terrorist, because fanboys are what keeps up to date with the newest additions or updates on our chosen fanboyee, whether it be software, hardware or nowhere, because it's not released yet, that's a quiet hint at the premature comparisons made between things that aren't available yet, and my first blog entry did that, so there's some hypocrisy.
By the way, please don't quote me for using the term fanboyee, I never wanted to coin it. it's equally as embarrassing as using fanboyism. Never mind, I have committed now....
