My boyfriend once almost *simultaneously* bashed my ex for LARPing and asked me to play D&D with him and his friends. (Not just 'cause it was my ex, though - he speaks ill of LARPers almost any time he gets the chance.) I really, really, really, genuinely don't get it. The same stereotype of the grody, nerdy, unwashed masses applies to both, but that doesn't mean the stereotype applies to everyone within the realm. It certainly doesn't apply to my boyfriend and his friends, and it certainly didn't apply to my ex. Both of them are geeky dudes and both of them are actors. Their interest in their respective role-playing comes naturally.

Is it nerd-shame? Looking down on the inability to separate a game from real life? (<-- which is a bullshit criticism in the first place.) I don't know. But I feel you, OP. I don't do either, but it drives me up the wall. I hate when nerds get judgey on other nerds.

I'm betting nerd shame/nerd hierarchy. Some people are so defensive about their own hobbies that they go out of their way to find an "acceptable target" to bash because they think it makes them look better.

Of course, generally it makes them look like an asshole...
