    I mean those all seem like pretty decent examples of some one being a pedantic, pompous, “trying to constantly appear smart”, tool-bag.

      None of which unusual on Twitter from celebrities.

      Why does he get chewed out for it specifically?

      I disagree. I’ve had many times where people call out plot holes in movies just because they stand out to them. Not because they are trying to appear smart.

      It happens a lot on the Star Wars and Star Trek communities here on lemmy but I don’t see it getting the same reaction.
