Worship the ground that Sony, Nintendo, PCs, or Xbox walks on, hate the others, or you are the enemy. I put it on the changing narrative in politics and everything else.
Fanboy mentality has been around for 20+ years. This is one of those rare topics where I don't think the mainstream proliferation or political agendas has made much of a difference... It was fucked from the beginning, or at least the point in time where a console becomes strong enough - or there is recent precedence - for brand identity to start overruling anything else.
I bumbled up a response a little bit on second thought with multiple whines lumped together. Yeah, you're right the fanboyism isn't new at all. What I started to notice differently was the game discussion became the same way. You couldn't discuss games anymore because no one could have any nuance, you either had to love the games that were universally loved, hate those that were hated, or piss off. I with with option 3.
