Fanboy

Plural 'fanboys.'

A male variety of fangirl. These are males of any age though usually teens that are obsessed with anime and will often turn rabid over getting the latest copy of their preferred manga. Unlike a fangirl, fanboys tend to be a little calmer but will still start an online or real life war with you if you say anything bad about the anime/manga they like.

A fanboy will either streotypically be into mostly female characters with big boobs or strong personal or mostly epic male characters which they cosplay.

Some fanboys are however tame and enjoy detailed conversations about the thing they are a fanboy of and are open to suggestions of other things they might enjoy (unlike those who are so stubborn they think anything they haven't heard of must be rubbish)

They can be see with badges/stickers/keychains of characters, reading or drawing manga or playing computer games on hand-held devices.

Fanboys can be a fan of yaoi or yuri but will be unlikely to admit being into yaoi.

Not to be confused with an otaku or a weeaboo as fanboys don't have to be obsessed with something Japanese but dominantly are to a respectful if scary level.

Boy A: I really like Bleach.
Boy B: I know, you're a total fanboy.

fanboy

A fan (human) who devoted himself to a particulair brand/series, and hardly questions whether it was the best choice. It usually points at a fanboy favoring a certain gaming comsole like the Nintendo Wii and Xbox360 over the opposing brand, yet also reffers to otaku-like people who favor a certain anime series like Dragonball Z and
Yu-gi-oh, or Comic book brands like Archie and Marvel. Many other kinds of fanboyism excist, but these are the most common ones.

Fanboys have the reputation to hardly have a social life, run low on friends outside Massive Multiplayer, to take their fanboyism quite seriously, and to be the cause of flame wars on internet forums. Although this is quite stereotyphical, it's not entirly incorrect. Fanboys take it as a personal offense when someone (usually an opposing fanboy) ditches the other's favourite brand/comic/console/etc.. Whether he reacts or not is for the fanboy to decide.

Despite their reputation, fanboys are proud to be one, and it will take quite some dissapointment from the brand/system/anime/etc. to get the fanboyism out of his head. Not there is need to, since they prefer not to bother anyone, so they won't be bothered while feeding their obsession.

'You don't like Zelda? I take it you are a Halo fanboy?'
'Indeed, and at least Halo doesn't use the same story/characters time after time again. Face it, Nintendo is dying!'
'It's not, and Halo is just mindless shooting! At least Nintendo is trying something new, but Microsofties like you can't appreciate taste!'
'You mean waggling some TV-remote is cool? Must be hard to be you'
etc.
