Fanboy
Fanboy is term used to describe individual (usually male, although the female version fangirl can be used for the women) who nourishes a deep affection for a mark, a product, a work, an artist or simply a point of view on something, up to an even morbid obsessional level. The fanboy remains faithful to its obsession, rejecting (often in a aggressive way) any point of view different from his.
Overall picture
The fanboys are most of the time young people (who have approximately between 12 and 25 years). They are attached in a sentimental way to their object, which explains why some of them do not have real arguments in their favor. Very critical negative is perceived as an attack on their person. They also dedicate an unreasoned hatred for any rival with their object fetish (for example a mark or a competing product).One observes most of the fanboys in the field of the Video game and the Informatique, even if the phenomenon can be also found elsewhere.
