I guess I qualify for #6 as well… I don’t feel too bad about it though. These immature douchebags tend to really piss me off.

Yeah I don’t see why people think an artist owes them something. If you don’t like the movie, don’t support it, it’s as simple as that. It’s the same problem when bands feel that they want to branch out and do something different, half of their fans feel betrayed. I can understand being disappointed, but put yourself in their shoes! You can’t please everyone and I don’t think you should even try. It bothers me that studios are bowing to every little complaint that fanboys have. Grow a backbone.

It’s funny because I remember being called out by John Campea on an episode of the audio edition, saying I left the most boneheaded idiot comment of the week when I said that artists don’t owe anything to their fans.

I agree with you, though I think I am alittle more pissed off at fanboys than you are. On the internet that, in the eyes of alot of people, makes me a snob. I do however have hope for the internet, and as it becomes older and even bigger, the people on it will feel less like a special inside group that is part of something that the rest of the world doesn’t understand.

I blame Stan Lee for this whole fanboys thing. He was the one who started to talk to his readers like they were good buddies and all part of the same clique. Look where it has gotten us!
