It's become quite apparent that there is one.
You're pro-PC and make a pro-PC statement: OMG FANBOY
You're pro-Console and make a pro-Console statement: People don't care
You're pro-PC and make an anti-console statement: OMG FANBOY
You're pro-Console and make an anti-PC statement: People don't care and then call the PC gamers who defend their console fanboys
You're pro-PC and recommend a PC in a console thread: OMG FANBOY
You're pro-Console and recommend a Console in a PC thread: People don't care
Seriously, it's entirely ridiculous. I'm beginning to think most of VGF has no idea what a fanboy even is. |

| I remember an old post in which the OP said he was confused on what a fanboy was. I believe it went something like "I'm a fan of something, and I'm a boy. What am I missing VGF?" |

"no idea what a fanboy even is." We've caught Gligar syndrome. (Watch his videos if you don't understand the joke. His channel is gligar13vids or something like that.) |

@mage
So a fan boy is a hybrid of a cooling device and a young male child?
"Oi! 'Ey, no throwing things while teacher is talking!" |

Nononono.
A fanboy is a young child that is used as a cooling device. |

VGF logic: Me: In my opinion, the Ps3 is better than the Xbox. Certain posters: OMG FANBOY GO AWAY ALL YOU DO IS PLAY PS3 YOU HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED TRUE GAMING.

An example of this would be the thread I made saying that I believe consoles won't survive to the 9th gen and that mobile devices (not PCs, but mobile devices) would take over in popularity.
People decided that simply because I prefer PCs and was saying consoles wouldn't last that I was a PC fanboy/elitist. (though this didn't happen until the last page of the thread)

@jimmy
No one says that. Sony fans are in abundance in this forum, only behind Nintendo/Retro fans.

You're pro-console and you talk about a retro console in a Newage thread: OMGZ HIPSTAH.
You're a gamer who talks about older games and disses a newer one: OMGAERSSSS HIPSTAHHH |

But just because one franchise churns out different, yet terrible games doesn't give Mario the excuse to milk itself to death.

@Killer- I wouldn't call Mario "terrible". Sure, it's not exactly the future of the gaming industry, but it's good, light-hearted fun. |

| Good lighted hearted fun that has less innovation then a generic Call of Duty sequel. |

@TheAssasin
I was talking about Sonic, since Pkmn's thread said that Mario shouldn't be different since Sonic titles that change things up are viewed as terrible.
