Fanboy

Who says it has to be a derogatory term? Wizard certainly doesn't seem to think so.

 

Methinks that anyone who takes offense at the term might be a little too sensitive and/or insecure about the level of their own passion/involvement in the hobby. I think these people, if they truly believe their own , should *embrace* the fanboy label, not reject it.

 

But what if one isn't a boy?

are you talking about Greggy? Just because he has an infatuation with Wonder Woman dolls, colelcts romance/love comics, and wears short-shorts doesn't mean he is any less of a fanboy.

 

Oh maybe you weren't talking about Greggy. My bad.

I thought it was someone who just loves reading and collecting comics and also enjoys comic related products like movies.

 

Jeeze why is everyone coming up with reasonable explanations and ignoring the 4th poll option?

 

Cause it is a trap.

 

Yeah! THAT is the trap. I thought folks who had a sense of assessment and intelligence would figure it out.

So what IS a Fanboy?

 

In my teens I was known as ECFANBOY. I also had a dog named Crypt-Ohhhh.
