Stanboys are the most overzealous among all fandoms due to their extreme nature of loyalty to certain objects of affection. Stanboys differ from stans, and -fanboys due to rabid nature. While fanboy's loyalty can change from time to time, a stanboy has absolute refusal to try anything that differs from their liked object.
Similar to how
apple fans will refuse to touch any droid device, marvel fans refuse to watch nondisney filmed comic movies from rival brands , or consoles stans who refuse to play on a console not their
favorite brands.
Stanboy behavior is often on par with the behavior of the "TWIHARD" fandom during the late
00s where twilight fans assaulted non-fans who criticized the movie and books with physical
violence and various weapons.
