Fanboy's Law

A term which originated on the World of Warcraft forums, stating that "As a technical forum discussion grows longer, the probability of someone making the post: "Get a mac/linux. Problem solved" approaches one."
"How do I get this program to work in Windows?"
"Get a mac"
"Did you just invoke Fanboy's Law?"

windows fanboy

An ignorant user who thinks that Windows is the best operating system in the world and has every single feature available to it despite many lacking features that are found on Apple's OS X and Linux. They are far greater in number than Apple fanboys and have far less knowledge of technology than general users of all 3 operating systems. They tend to reject facts brought to the table and will disregard the person presenting these facts as "Apple fanboys" despite saying both positive and negative things about the two big companies. They are very similar to social justice warriors and are typically also PC elitists.

In conclusion, do not waste your time with them. They know nothing about technology, feel they are superior, and will berate anyone who has even a basic understanding of computers.

ProUser2000: "I like to use a mix of Windows, Mac and Linux to make sure I get every feature I need. They all have their pros and cons and it's hard to choose just one. I don't understand how Apple and Windows fanboys can dedicate themselves to one side."

Fanboy

Biased people who think that the things they worship about are the masters of the universe. However, since they are biased, they will constantly bash opposing things instead of thinking about it and stating its positive and negative attributes.
Others say XBOX is the best for its graphics and games. Well, not really. PS2 and Gamecube has some more interesting games. And what makes a game a game is that it is fun to play with, not what it looks like.

To similar effect as fangirl

A fanboy is any male who has exceptional bias to any form of pop culture who believes it's the best person or thing that has ever existed. It becomes the only thing they talk about and becomes a focal point in their lives.

Many fanboys embody their egos upon their fandom and take any form criticism towards it as though it was a blow to their own ego. To this effect they sometimes become hostile towards the person who made the criticism as if that person had directly insulted them.

Most common examples of things that have fanboys:

-Video games
-Animation
-Movies
-Music
-TV shows
-Books
-Celebrities

Religious people have a similar one minded dedication to their religion as fan boys do to their preferred person or thing.

FanBoy

A gamer who maintains loyalty to one system no matter what. Video game system FanBoys hate systems that are not their own. FanBoys are annoying and refuse to conceed to valid points made in defence of other consoles, and talk about their console of choice as if it is the only logical choice. AKA Eric
'My friend, Eric, goes by the alias 'Nintendofreak' and insists that the world would end without Nintendo. What a fanboy. He needs to just simmer and realise that there are games on other systems worth playing, regardless of what circuit board or buttons are running it.'

Fanboy Pattycake

When 2 fanboys engage in a 1 on 1 fanboy deathmatch. This can be done in verbal or written statements. Posted on forums, blogs, and presented in video format. Rarely in person. The objective is to prove the other wrong. By pure intellect, wit, or slander. Most of the time it turns more towards the final tool. When done correctly can be insightful. Overall it's a pop culture Nigga Moment. Just like patty cake it's a simple and childish!
A series of video responses, comments on forums, blogs, and community threads. Between 2 people with opposing opinions on pop culture content. That continues until one side gives up. Or the quality reaches a low point. Where the audience lose interest. After posting a negative comment to my post. Mario and Sonic entered a Fanboy Pattycake much over comics.
