In your first example, the complaint is that someone is performing an accent badly. In OP’s secret, the complaint is that it’s unrealistic for educated people to have certain accents.

It should be obvious why criticizing someone’s job performance is less problematic than claiming that it’s offensively unrealistic for people with certain physical and social markers to be well-educated. However, since you felt the need to make this comment anyway, I’ll clarify. Your first situation is an example of fans being a little bit particular. OP is an example of a raging bigot.

Where does the OP say anything about physical markers? Be fair.

And yes, there are social markers that are more correlated (not 100% correlated) with education. Because like almost everything else we do in life, education - and how people are supposed to present themselves in different contexts - is something that we learn socially.

I said physical, not visible. Speech is a physical marker.

I mean, I guess, but us real folk, who talk normal and use words in commonly understood ways, typically wouldn't call it that. Sounds kind of elitist.
