Stop the fanboyism!

And here we go, with my second blog post; this time around, I'll be discussing another personal point of view. And no, this is not a retarded post intended to troll you, so stop overreacting and read on.

As you may know by now, thanks to the big title up there, the main theme on this post will be fanboys, their glorified pieces of electronics, and their oh-so-stupid brand loyalty, as well as how they relate to the community here, as far as I've got to experience it.

First off, no human is capable of showing no bias towards something. After all, we like and dislike different things, wich is why hell, even I show some bias when it comes to certain..."stuff", one could say.

But really, when you're in the comments of different news on the front page, saying stuff like "Sony rox omg!!11" "M$ can sux it lol", or hell, the other way around with "3DS is a beast!!!!111", "Halo: Reach FTW!!1 perfect gaem sux it sony", and another posts that REALLY make me worry about the mental sanity of these individuals, I can't help but feel annoyed and bothered with it.

As I said, everyone shows some signs of bias towards certain things, but when it comes down to...THAT...I really don't know. It's a pathetic display, to be honest.

I wonder if these fanboys are really honest with themselves; because hell, you can't like EVERY SINGLE EXCLUSIVE THAT COMES OUT ON A CERTAIN PLATFORM. You HAVE to dislike something, right? You should voice your opinion on things you don't like, instead of report-bombing a certain article that involves Hideki Kamiya saying he won't buy Gran Turismo 5, while approving things like "David Cage's left ball itches as he glorifies Sony once again", or "Kazunori Yamauchi says Premium Cars take 6 months to make despite GT5 taking 5 years in development and having 200-something Premium Cars, in other words, do the math." or any other article of the same nature.

What does NOT helps at all is how, usually, comments made by fanboys are truly a waste of time (Well, we're here to waste time, anyways) that consist of trolling back and forth between two, or more, users.

Consoles all have ups and downs. Companies usually screw up horribly. Developers promise too many things and deliver none. It's fine to comment about your dissapointment and dislikes. Really, nothing's perfect, and pointing out those flaws usually helps more than it hurts. You should not glorify anything, but rather simply say what's wrong, what you don't like, hell, you get the idea.

And no, the signs of fanboyism are even WORSE when it comes to N4G. Abusing the system that basically relies on the community, we have idiots that will report you if they don't like your comment; simply voicing your personal point of view is reported as "Trolling", "Immature", or more things that make me really worried about how N4G, as a page, works out. Let us not forget about the disagrees for those small, irrelevant and non-biased comments some individuals do! Truly hilarious, alright.

Either that, or rushing out to the store to buy overpriced, gimmicky motion controllers you will (probably) never use, yet again praising it for whatever it has, or making up excuses for things you BUY.

It just really seems VERY silly to me. Why must you all protect and hold dear pieces of electronic you PAID for, as well as these companies that do something right once every blue moon?

Remember, the customer is always right. Your right (and obligation) as a customer is to demand BETTER products, not simply stay idle while praising these doubtful games and accesories you probably don't even like.

In other words, stop being such a goddamn, horrible sheep! Voice your own, personal opinion instead of following this hivemind-like community!
