Fanboyism for linus

ddbtkd456

Now I get that people have there likes and what not up why do so many people upsess over him. I get it he's a guy that unbowed things and probably has the most badges job and forum out there but I'm sick of seeing all these people with pictures of him every 10th profile. I don't mean to insult people but I just can't understand it maybe if someone explained it I could get a better understanding of it.

If you've previously won the build off please pm me so we can get something worked out.

I didn't say that I just don't understand the boyfanism that surrounds this forum.

Who cares about the profile pictures? Linus has many funny skits and pictures. It's his forum so obviously people know him. Just funny pictures of him on his forum. Not fanboyism, it's just he makes great videos and people like him.

The hobbitsess upsesses over Linusses  :P

 

No but seriously I do agree that it's strange to obsess over a minor youtube celebrity is sort of weird at best but you get used to people like that I don't really mind them. My theory is that they feel like just being a fan of tech or PCs is not enough to bond so they latch on to Linus as a cult of personality as a long standing running joke that creates a stronger sense of community.

Also he is just very photosheable.

I am sure this has already happened. Somewhere.

There has been some fan art posted on the forums before.

as Luke approached linus to ask for his paycheck, Linus looked into Luke's blue eyes and said "I Don't have money bae" in disappointment luke throw his gtx 560 into Linus's lap and said "i need money dawg you be serious nigga" and linus quickly responded and said " well there are other ways i can pay you lukey" with a passionate look in his eyes linus seduced slick into the editing room and luke carried linus and pushed the the pile of ram sticks away and put him on the table and whispered to linus " i will penetrate your memory slot with my Ram stick" and then they fucked and bla bla bla they lived happily ever after.

Goodness, I would never have thought fan art like that would actually happen here.

Well not overfangirling but he knows his shit. :3 There are other so called "youtubers" who only reviewing the manual and getting confused over a single fanmount diameter. No need to care about this avatars.

Bye LTT. That was an interesting journey on this board. At least here you see how not to do it. I'll go shaking my head about this place.

Better than Mandela or Ghandi fanboy xD

People fanboy over mandela because they don't know South African history that well and only go by what they hear. South Africa is fuqed up and corrupt, it was even when he was president. Racism is also still a major thing, however it's only racist when a black guy is the victim, when a white guy is the victim it's nothing. BEE is also a piece of shit, people get employed because of skin color, not skill, experience or even education.

Linus is our deity and we are the church of Linus.

 

-Hallowed are the followers of Linus.

The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.
