This "Felicia Day" is considered a celebrity now? Really?

http://www.time.com/...2059112,00.html - Followers: 1.8 million

So, yeah, I think she qualifies as a "celebrity." Just saying.
Being 'internet famous' because a bunch of geeks think she's "one of them" does not constitute being a celebrity. And if one's amount of Twitter-followers were to dictate one's place in society, just how pathetic have we as a whole become?
It was ONE measurement. I don't use twitter myself, hate it, but how many followers you have on twitter is ONE measurement of how many people know you.
She's an actress. The IMDB post was to show the vast body of stuff she has been in. Anyone who's been in that many things is usually know by many people.
The wikipedia article lists the many things she's part of, including awards and committees and the like.
You can start moving the goal post all you want. All you sarcastically questioned was her status as "celebrity."
All that celebrity means is being famous.
All that being famous means is that you are known by many people.
She certainly qualifies as "being well known."
Everything else you are saying is subjective taste, qualifiers on "good for society" and other stuff that, while maybe relevant to you and others...
is actually a non-sequitor when regarding whether or not she is, in fact, a celebrity.
You. Were. Wrong.
By any reasonable measurement, she is a
celebrity.
Whether you think she WARRANTS being a celebrity is irrelevant to her BEING a celebrity.
I cannot stand the Kardashians nor Paris Hilton. But they are celebrities.
Your attempts to poison the well regarding her and those who like her matters nothing, except to show the weakness of your argument.
Specifically, "And if one's amount of Twitter-followers were to dictate one's place in society, just how pathetic have we as a whole become?" is a straw-man. I never said anything about twitter indicating where you belonged in society; how many people "follow you on twitter" is a good indication of how many people know you. Knowing whom Amanda Knox, Barack Obama, Victoria Jackson, or "Joe the Plumber" are, the fact that they are kind of house-hold names, doesn't mean they are in the same positions in society - girl just found innocent after years in an Italian jail, President of the USA, right-wingy former SNL comedian and 2008 election conservative celebrity are wide in their positions in society but all are celebrities as all are known by many people.
If you say 2+2 != 4, and someone lines up 2 apples and 2 oranges and shows that there are 4 things there you cannot then suddenly say "those are apples and oranges! you don't have 4 of either!"
You original statement was false. The things you bring up afterward, regardless of whether they are factual, opinion, or just wrong, are not relevant.
You said - "This "Felicia Day" is considered a
celebrity now? Really?"
The answer is simply yes.
celebrity - A famous person.
famous - Known about by many people
Actress. Creator and star of a 5 season series that has 69 million views on YouTube alone, won 5 awards from 2007-2010, contains numerous celebrity cameos and has spawned comic-book spin-offs. Approached by BioWare / EA for a tie-in that is pretty unique in the entertainment media world. 1.8 million twitter followers.
How much proof do you need that 2 items added to 2 items does, in fact, make 4 items total?
You don't have to like her to admit she's famous.

Retour en haut
The fact that she was proposed to do so changes almost nothing. For me it just means that BW guys have even bigger crush on her than I thought.
