Fanboys- Why you shouldn't care

A Yahtzee quote:

“Fanboys are… perplexing. Sure, there are franchises that I really enjoy. But I’d never pretend they were perfect or scream the house down if they made any attempt to evolve. They’re people with so little going on in their own lives that they latch onto the things they enjoy and place them on unfathomable pedestals because it’s the only thing they can find to be passionate about.

I suspect that this is what happens when an entire civilization has too much time on their hands. That’s the problem – modern society has no real struggle, so importance gets misplaced. Sixty years ago we’d just fool them all into going to get shot by Germans.”

In my second blog, I will talk about fanboys- and why you should honestly ignore them.

It's a waste of time-Seriously, think of what you are doing for a second. Just for a sec. You are arguing over the internet about what toy that lets you press buttons to move imaginary objects onscreen is the best around. Some unfortunate soulds wind up like this guy (who is joking, but for sake of example):

Seriously, a girlfriend walks in to see you doing this, you know what her reaction will be?

?_?

It makes you depressed- Seriously, when you enjoy a purchase, it isn't fun to come on the internet and listen to people badmouth it. You'll come away feeling sad and depressed, and feel like you're in the league of every other asshole whenever you turn on your console.

They won't listen to you- They don't care about your opinion, so you shouldn't care about them.

It's exclusive to the internet- Those who argue like this in real life have very little friends and bad social skills. Talking in real life about it will result in an intelligent discussion, due to the fact that you are directly communicating with a living being instead of blocks of text.

The masses really don't care- See above post

Hope you enjoyed. I'm planning on quitting N4G in a while, unless things let up.
