I also think that's derogatory, since it's implying they are mindlessly cheering somebody on. There are plenty of people on this forum who will cheer for skaters no matter what and I doubt they'd be appreciated being called Chanbots/Takahashibots/Maobots/Plushenkobots, etc. It's not because they're being robotic about it, it's because they enjoy watching that skater.
I too think it's derogatory - simply because the times I've seen it used, it's been a taunt. And "Maobot" has been quite pervasive too. I saw a lot of Yuna/Maobot taunts being hurled especially after the Olympics - and I wasn't even looking!
