So, every so often we see a fanboy thread pop up. No big deal, we can all just ignore them and they'll go away. Many other sites have infestations of fanboys, all calling each other out for their fanboyism whilst failing to recognise their own. What I suggest is, that rather than allying yourself with a particular system, the majority of users call themselves Fanboys of Gaming; FaGs for short. We FaGs are those who try to stand up for our medium when it's being looked down on, when a group condemns a game for some reason, whatever platform it may be on. We'll all agree that even if there is only one game we enjoy on a certain console, we'll enjoy it no matter what colour of box it slides into. Yes, we may have preferences, but arguments aren't necessary.
So, if we can all coexist as FaGs, we can work together to try and make the internet a better place for everyone who plays games.
Or, you know, just tell me I'm an idiot if that's what you think.
I have a proposal
0_o - ok
I think the idea of having everyone be fanboys or gaming and gaming culture is an awesome idea but it would never work really. In our hearts we are all fans of video games that much we can all agree on. But in our minds we all have a loyalty to a patricular platform of gaming, devleoper, publisher, game, franchies etc etc etc and our inner trolls just lash out uncontrolled at anyone who disagrees with us. Its something that will never stop, not while we have so many gaming platforms.

I completely agree, you PC gaming bitch.
"Come on guys, let's just be FaGs together."
It's a nice concept, but I do love the Microsoft fanboy whispering in my ear. I think I'll keep him! Ugh, that was him talking. No it wasn't, yes it was. Stop it! NO DO IT! ASDF:KLajsdkl;fasdf
"I sense lots of gullible people in here."
I don't think anyone took it seriously here.
Philleas Fog? Are we going around the world in a hot air balloon, Ohh dear
I call myself a fanboy though, but not of consoles, Im a franchise fanboy :P
Thats kinda funny but even if we done that wouldn't we just be co-existing with ourselves and be fanboys to other hobbies therefore taking pointless arguments to a whole new level.

If you don't like it then we can just say FoG :)

Besides, isn't this thread about demeaning fanboys that ruin our forum?

Well, he could have called them Brothers Undertaking The Promise to Incite Regional Advocation of Totally Eradicating Systemwars. What's worse?

I am no fanboy, but I am sure that giving them a nickname will at least slow them down.

Wait for it....!
We FaGs are those who try to stand up for our medium when it's being looked down on, when a group condemns a game for some reason, whatever platform it may be on.Thats stupid. If a game sucks are you going to stand up for it? If Doug Lombardi goes on a killing spree will you say he's innocent? If the Wii doesnt stop sucking will you still say its good because Zelda TP was good 2 years ago? No.
How about this, you get your own oppinions on things and be prepared to say that some things in the gaming industry suck ass. Fanboy mentality of any kind is just dumb
