There’s a culture out there of people that love a piece of media so much that they will defend an unfeeling child murdering automaton called a corporation till their dying breath. In a perfect world, these people would be hanged. Thank you New York City good night!!
A “fanboy” isn’t a thing you are, it’s a thing you do. People get extremely defensive about their treats, even from the most benign criticism. I think it might have something to do with how empty much of our lives are under capitalism, and how the “tone” has been set by larger corporations to turn enjoyment of a piece of media into cult behavior, that the tendency is universal.
