It's interesting that Day gets far more "not a real gamer" wank than Vin Diesel, who has also established his tabletop geek cred.

No, I don't care what his """Cred""" is, Vin Diesel is far too chadmode to be a real gamer.

real gamer

You're a gamer gator. My 20-year-dead, bridge-playing granny has more credibility as a gamer than you.

Ok, but you caught the term "Chadmode" in there, right?

You get that that was a joke comment right?

And I reckon I could whoop your dead grannies arse at bridge, so challenge fucking accepted my man. Lets do this shit, you bring the ouiji board, I bring the beer.

I mean I think there's a crucial difference between them (besides the obvious gender difference).

Vin Diesel's geek cred is a sidenote to his career. The vast majority of people know of him just as an action movie actor that does a lot of weird offbeat projects.

But Felicia Day has afaik built her entire career around being a Nerd/Gamer Girl. (Which is cool, don't get me wrong. Plenty of actors/writers/comedians do that. She's no different than Wil Wheaton or the McElroy brothers.) But when you build your career out of a subcultural identity, well... People within subcultures are very invested in policing and maintaining the boundaries of that subculture. And a big part of that is being hyper-critical of other peoples' cred.

This sort of thing isn't unique to gaming or nerd culture. If you look at other groups like the hip hop scene, any music scene really, queer groups with the ace and bi exclusion bs, it's everywhere.
