Wikipedia said:
Fanboy is a term used to describe an individual (usually male, though the feminine version fangirl may be used for females) who is utterly devoted to a single fannish subject, or to a single point of view within that subject, often to the point where it is considered an obsession. Fanboys remain loyal to their particular obsession, disregarding any factors that differ from their point of view. Fanboys are also typically aggressive and hateful towards the opposing brand or competition of their obsession regardless of its merits or achievements.

Well? Are you a fanboy or fangirl?
 
What definition would you prefer?

Take out the part about being aggressive against opposing brands and I'd likely consider myself a fanboy.

I'm a Marvel fan but I have no ill will towards DC....in fact I enjoy many of their titles, Action, Robin, Countdown, Detective etc.....
 
Not really. In fact, I tend to get idiotic and ARGUE against fanboys.

If anything, it's for the Shorties.
 
By that definition, no, I'm not.
 
Bull****. All I hear coming from you is "OMG! Black Canary is teh awesome!"

but she is Awsome..
but i wont call myself a fanboy..
I enjoy Comics and i prefer DC.. i also enjoy reading storyes about Black Canary and the Star City superhunks and AIDSchick more then others..

but Fanboy? no
 
If you post on this board, you qualify as a fanboy/girl/other
 
The Wiki Def doesn't really cover all facets of fanboyism. Sure, there is the narrow minded *****ebag element, but that doesn't really apply to all. Me? I'm a Fanboy of Comics in general. I feel it's the second best medium of entertainment. (second only to Strippers.) Better than T.V., better than movies, better than novels, etc. I feel this way because there isn't a single genre that can't be better presented than in a comic.

So, yes, i'm a fanboy. But a better class of Fanboy. I'm not a *****e about it either.
 
Humbler than you anyway. :o :cmad:
 
Not exactly hard, given that I know how intensely awesome I am.
 
Wow,that nearly perfectly describes me. Shoul......should I see a doctor?:csad: :csad:



yah.... I have been known to get a little fanboyish, but I like to think i am getting better.
 
I'm a Fangirl.

At the weekends anyway.
 
Wow,that nearly perfectly describes me. Shoul......should I see a doctor?:csad: :csad:
Yeah, and they're gonna need a list of everyone you've had sexual contact with to inform them that they should come in too. :csad::down
 
Nope. I read comics to enjoy them. When I stop enjoying them, I won't complain, I'll just stop reading them. It's simple as that.
 
No I nevers bought comics or nothing like this ever. I more like music and only films of comics sometime.
