haters typically spend most of their free time telling anyone who will listen how bad their console of choice is, and how superior all other products are. haters will not stop annoying other people until everyone they know is converted to their way of thinking.

actually, the linear opposite of a fanboi is a cryboi, short for "crybaby".

cryboi: (def) player who unquestioningly attacks a game 100% of the time, no matter what feature or legitimate praise is invoked;

fanboi: (def) player who unquestioningly supports a game 100% of the time, no matter what bugs or legitimate criticism are raised;

In my experience, "Crybois" are easily spotted by their frequent use of the term "Fanbois" to describe their opponents.


Fortunately, most subsim members fall somewhere between these two extremes.
