The term used for obsessive fans of a particular activity that goes a bit too far onto the creepy side. Unlike [[Fan Girl|fangirls]] (which usually refers to women obsessed with characters and their relationships with either other characters or themselves to the exclusion of the rest of the elements of the canon), the term "fanboy" is usually reserved for antisocial people with a self-inflated ego over their knowledge and/or mastery of the topic in question, often parading it around and belittling those around him. They are to fandoms what "[["Stop Having Fun!" Guys]]" are to tournament rules.
