Idiots of the Internet: "The Anti-Fanboy"

Hello, fellow internet dwellers. Today's article is not going to focus on one specific person...it is going to focus on a group that I like to call the "anti-fanboy". I will, of course, use some examples to explain more about this group as the article goes on. For now, let's get down to the basics.

The "anti-fanboy" is someone who has an obsessive hatred for a person/ group of people, place, or idea. Their hatred is so obsessive that it would match the obsessive love that an extreme fanboy has.

So, why are these anti-fanboys idiots? Oh, for MANY reasons! First, let's introduce one anti-fanboy who some of you should remember from one of my older articles.

The former YouTube user, rippyriprip93, is a prime example of the anti-fanboy. he made an audio fanfic called "How the Rip Stole Reviewing" where he murders Doug Walker, rapes Lindsey Ellis, and does a mass genocide of all internet reviewers who are similar to the TGWTG-style. Although ripyriprip93's account is gone, he is still around on the internet and is known as TheWMEforever on YouTube. Some people, like me, found out his true identity when he had uploaded a WME review on his rippyriprip93 account. Also, he made his extreme hatred for TGWTG along with other internet reviewers clear in some of his comments. Before TheWMEforever lost his rippyriprip93 account, he made a video attacking a website called That Fellow In The Coat. The sad thing is that he used to be good friends with some of the contributors.

What makes this guy's actions idiotic is that he not only pissed off a lot of people, he made an ass out of himself and lost some good friendships he once had. All because he doesn't like TGWTG. Yes, TheWMEforever still has a decent following on YouTube but I bet he lost some subscribers when they found out he was the fail troll known as rippyriprip93. Tell me, TheWMEforever...was it really worth it?

Up next, we will be looking at another anti-fanboy who is also on YouTube. He's known as Hellsing920. before a certain video "rant" he made, Hellsing920 was known as a pretty good ranter and was entertaining to watch...that was until he made this one little rant against TGWTG:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GA9O0PvAao

Now, I am not bothered by the fact that he doesn't like TGWTG. People are entitled to their opinion. What bothers me is that he's an ASS about it! His reasons for hating them really has nothing to back it up, his insults towards anyone who dares to disagree with him are just insulting, and his claim that Doug Walker is evil is just laughable. The icing on the cake would have to be that he would drastically change TGWTG if he ever were to join. I'm beginning to think that this guy's real beef is that they haven't accepted him as a contributor. Look, buddy, I have applied for TGWTG several times. A lot of people have. There's no guarantee that you'll ever be accepted. Just get over it!

The sad thing about this guy is that his rant was made back in August of 2011 and he is STILL arguing with people who have the balls to state their own opinion. Buddy, just stop responding. In fact, disable the comments if you have to! Arguing is not winning you any favors!

Finally, we are going to talk about someone who is probably the biggest anti-fanboy of all. We'll just call him "Regima". Regima is probably the biggest anti-fanboy for one reason...he made an entire website dedicated to hating on internet reviewing as a whole. Although his hate site is mainly focusing on trolling a lesser-known reviewing site, it has been stated in the articles on his hate site, which I am not going to name, that he hates TGWTG and the AVGN as well. Okay...I understand that you don't like internet reviewers...i really do...but why make an entire WEBSITE about hating them? Really, how much money are you WASTING to keep this site up? It's ridiculous!

I hope you guys all see why anti-fanboys are morons. if you don't, here's some brief reasons:

  1. They come across as idiots.
  2. They put way too much time into something they supposedly hate.
  3. Their reasons for hating are rather dumb for the most part.

Guys, do yourselves a huge favor. NEVER allow yourselves to get this THIS point if you hate something. Just say you hate it and move on!

Well, thanks for reading, everyone! Keep an eye out for my next article!

    Excellent article, my friend! It seems that I'm not the only one who feels that Hellsing920 is butthurt (maybe not that exact word, but still). Speaking of which, did you see his review of Kickassia? All he does is insult Doug, the other contributers, and TGWTG fans, saying that he and others who hate the special are the only people who "have taste" in movies when, like you said, we are entitled to our opinion. But the worst part is, he has his own set of fanboys who make the same half-brained "arguments" and insults that he makes. Unfortunately, though, he's the only one thatI'm familiar with out of the three you mentioned, so I can't say anything about them. Again, GREAT article.

    I've seen some of the comments and replies his fanboys make. It's annoying. Thanks for the feedback!

    Have you ever heard of the YouTuber "TheArchFiend"? This is the entirety of his channel, I swear.

    Oh, I've heard of him...he'll probably get his own article in the near future.

    Jeez Louise! What is with these Anti-Fanboys? Do they really have nothing better to do than to spread even more unnecessary hate? Not to sound like a complete naivete, but I just don't get these people.

    Look, I myself have written rants about movies I dislike but for some reason everyone else likes, but I don't go all bat-sh** insane about it. Just recently I wrote something on why I didn't like "Rise of the Planet of the Apes." For the most part that movie just kind of rubbed me the wrong way, but I'm willing to acknowledge that people like it and I'm open to hearing their reasons why.

    What does one have to gain by being a complete and utter a**hole? Apparently nothing, so why do these people keep on doing it? If it's an ego thing, then there are plenty of things folks can do that can promote a sense of self-worth and do some good in the world.

    I guess the Tim Burton one with Mark Wahlberg may have something to do with it. That or Caesar being more human than the actual humans. Me,in my case,I enjoyed the movie that much more after watching the fail movie by Tim Burton. Look,I love some of his other stuff,the Batman films,Nightmare Before Christmas,Sweeny Todd(a bit of a soft spot for Broadway),and Edward Scissorhands. And yes,I have seen a bit of Archfiend's channel and I had a real huge back and forth with some of his fanboys. Let's just say that somehow,I was able to stand my ground without the use of ad hominems.

    I think some of it has to do with them wanting attention, like rippyriprip93 and hellsing920.

    This is nothing new to me. I was a fan of Stargate Universe. Disliking that show for it having a darker tone than it's two predecessors in the franchise? Valid. I disagree of course, and in fact it was one of the things I loved about SGU.

    Personally insulting the intelligence and speculating about the body fat percentage of it's fans, sending death threats to cast member's families, and somehow finding a way to blame Pres. Obama for what you see as the show's shortcomings (all things that actually happened BTW)? FUCKING INSANE!

    I agree. It's ridiculous.

    I feel like trolling some of these guys now. TheWMEforever posts some pretty interesting movies but he insists on trying to show off his comedic talents, which is like trying to show off your imaginary friend to your older siblings. Hellsing920 is just an idiot, who uses crappy logic to persuade people into thinking that he has a decent point to make - if you are making a HATE video, it doesn't matter what you say, your logic will always be wrong. If you are making a critical video, then that's fine, but Hellsing920 is not a critic, he's a "hater".

    And haters can provoke people all they want, but at the end of the day, nobody is going to benefit.

    Trust me, I've made critical videos plenty of times, and the responses I get are all negative, but I don't present my videos as hating the subject, I present my videos as regarding the subject to be of low value, and people respond with hate. If Hellsing920 wants to make a video explaining why NC doesn't work for him, that's fine, but he makes "rants", not criticisms. Learn from NC, learn from AVGN, ESPECIALLY learn from Redlettermedia - criticism goes a LOT further than hatred.

    Agreed. Hellsing920 didn't have any criticism to give at all.

    I just got into a bit of a scuffle with Razorfist and along the way,he said that he was invited by TGWTG at one point and he turned them down. I was calling that BS seeing as his videos are nothing more than venomous rage which gets grating real quick. He doesn't really do reviews so much as using expletives to berate games like Catherine because "they are so anime". What kind of over cliched reason is that? Sorry if I'm ranting but people like him really rub me the wrong way. At least there is Alpha Omega Sin.

    I don't think TGWTG really "invites" people to become contributors anymore, especially now. So, I call BS, too.

    ... you know there is one one thing that a anti-fanboy should try... ignore.
    i mean if you don't like something or someone, just ignore it, it's that easy lol

    *phew* for a sec, I thought this was about me, but I realized... I DON'T FANTASIZE ABOUT RAPING LINDSEY ELLIS LIKE THIS SCHIZOPHRENIC NIGHTMARE!:(
    I mean, Sweet cream on an ice cream sandwich in the middle of the blue hell!!! What is this guy's major malfunction? I get being upset that a reviewer is taken or married, but to devote such hatred as to RAPE her? I'm gonna vomit my pepperoni pizza all over the goddamned cat!

    "Guys, do yourselves a huge favor. NEVER allow yourselves to get to THIS point if you hate something. Just say you hate it and move on!"

    While I agree with most of your article, this part comes off as strangely defensive.
    No, they shouldn't "move on", especially if they have arguments to make - but we can make fun of them if they get dumb.

    Next, he Hellsing guy - yes, his video is awfully retarded, but in the last part, he talks about people suggesting to HIM to join the site.
    Again, don't play the "oh you're just jealous" card when there's no reason for it.
