Talk:fangirl

Connotations by gender

I think "fangirl" has different connotations than "fanboy". People tend to associate fangirls with shipping and squeeing, and fanboys are associated with pointless arguing. --Bran

That probably isn't lexical information, though: it would be like saying that there are differing stereotypes about male and female actors. It doesn't change the simple meanings of actor and actress. Equinox ◑ 21:42, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Gender-non-specific

I have heard fangirls being used to mean fangirls and fanboys, probably due to the absence of a neutral word like "fanchildren".--Simplificationalizer (talk) 00:41, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
