Fanboy

A male version of Fangirl, a fanboy is an over-enthusiastic male member of a fandom. Like fangirl, it is most often used in a derogatory sense and implies the fanboy in question to be arrogant, obbssesed, and often perverted.

Fanboys are typically perceived as somewhat socially awkward, talkative, and obbsessed. Fanboys tend to be interested in the Echii aspects of anime, particularly fanservice, and for getting into debates over which female character is the best. Fanboys are also often associated with brand loyalty, such as to a particular games console.

Fanboy fashion tends to be gaming t-shirts, shorts/jeans, trainers, and maybe a naruto headband. Their music tastes are anything relating to their obbession.

Unlike fangirls, whose negative aspects tend to be nothing more than obbsessive hyperness, a fanboy is perceived to be obnoious, arrogant and as having poor hygeine.
