When all else fails, just tell people the next time you're accused of being a "consoomer" is thatBasically, the first step to blind fandom is to ignore the nuances of things; to accuse the other side of being wrong no matter what. I've been guilty of that in the past, but I've realized that neither side has the answers, and to be a truly wise human being, you have to see things from different perspectives and formulate your own answers from your own experiences.
As for these toy people, they seem to forget that all their plastic crack comes from East Asia. Japan, Vietnam, China, among others, these nations supply them with their figures, be it Gundam, Star Wars, Marvel, DC, DBZ, Transformers, Mario, Sonic, Pokemon, Halo, GI Joe, even third-party and independent franchises make their figures there. So bitching about how some third-party figure doesn't come from a US-based brand is asinine.
Being a fan of Danny-boy helped feed that idea of blind fandom in my head in the past. I hated games from franchises like Metal Gear and Final Fantasy because of him; only to find the games he slagged to be quite fun. I once saw his Elric/Witcher plagiarism video and held it as gospel, until I began to see cracks in his logic, and I came across information that sank his arguments. Eventually, I grew out of being a fan of Razorfist, but to see him make the same mistakes in the past, as well as new mistakes, drove me to the other side.
Danny Boy's creative word salads are sadly the reason why people listen to him. Like you said, only by seeing the cracks in his logic can you see how much of a farce he is in the first place.
