As a slight follow-up to my last blog discussing the "anti-fanboy", I present to you a forum site that is FILLED with these anti-fanboys. The forum site is called The Something Awful Forums and the thread in question is called The Internet Critic Discussion Thread.

Reading
through the posts, there were some people who said that they liked
certain critics. Most of the posts, though, are about how much they hate
certain critics. Even I was mentioned! Their criticism of me went
something along the lines of "...some 20-something year old, greasy
haird woman obsessed with Sweeney Todd and Harry Potter".
Um...yeah...just because I had a Harry Potter poster in my early videos
does not mean I'm obsessed with the genre. Also, I don't see any real
criticsm in there, just insults.
One guy said that
he absolutely hates the Nostalgia Critic and says he's the most "unfunny
fuck" on TGWTG. If that were true, why is TGWTG so popular? Now, if
this gentleman had said that he personally doesn't find the NC funny and
actually backed up his claim, that would be fine. Him stating it,
however, doesn't make it fact. Clearly, people find the Nostalgia Critic
funny.
There was even some jerk who was viciously making fun of Nella from team Nostalgia Chick saying that she was "beaten mercilessly with the ugly stick". Wow. How much of a senseless pig can you be? I think Nella is attractive for her bubbly personality. Also, folks, LOOKS AREN'T EVERYTHING!
Guys, this forum just proves the point of my last blog even more that being extreme haters, or anti-fanboys, is just unproductive and makes you look like a moron. I can't believe there's a forum website dedicated to hatingon something, let alone a thread hating on internet reviewers!
Makes me wonder what you think of Templar the 2nd?
I watched one video of his on Iron Liz, and he was actually pretty nice about her, kind of. But he said that he enjoyed her work. As for everyone else on this site, well, just watch his video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl832PfxyP4
Of course if you don't wanna get angry at people like this, just avoid them.
But I understand how that can be difficult.
