That seems like one of those "no duh" studies. Also, what's a "fanboi?"
This felt related to the pro-SE stuff we've seen on bluray.com and TFN, etc.

Same reason people get upset when you challenge their religion, political ideology and...
Crap. I'm still not in the politics thread.

The hell is that supposed to mean? If you're trying to use the meme, you're doing it wrong.
Oh, I thought you'd omitted a picture in reference to my earlier hotlinking failures.
But I guess "Ric Olie" is already funny enough, so yea, nvm.
Ric Olie is always funny.
Well, then.

Boy is that the truth. Those defensive superfans are like flinchy wounded animals. Such a weird, insulated cult community now. It used to be a regular pop culture Beatles-type thing and now it's gone full Juggalo.
Fanboi = butch fangirl.
Please imagine that I used an image editing program to splice an oscillating fan in place of the head of a small boy.
