Pretender Diss	comment	Basically, the trope is about the attitudes of those who actually belong (or think they belong) in a particular category and those who actually know them, or think they do (including their enemies) towards those who pretend to be in the category. Vampires towards Vampire Vannabes, Big Bads towards Big Bad Wannabes, real heroes towards Heroic Wannabes - you get the drift. The trope also has a number of Real Life and less fantastic counterparts, not least because of the (minor) distinctions differentiating those who would admit (if reluctantly) that yes, We ARE Struggling Together. The attitude can vary from amused to outraged, and express itself in anything from shrugging and snarking through more serious annoyance to termination with extreme prejudice. It is not, however, incompatible with using the wannabe as The Renfield, Sycophantic Servant, or treating a group of wannabes as "useful idiots", minions, or Cannon Fodder. It can be justified (or not) according to a number of different variables, such as whether the wannabe(s) actually stand any chance (by nature or nurture) of achieving their Wannabe goals, whether it would actually make them happy (or cool) if they did (cf. Be Careful What You Wish For, I Hate You, Vampire Dad, Super Loser), and whether there is something... questionable about their reasons for wannabeing it in the first place (e.g. white middle-class suburbanite kids pretending to be gangsta rappers, or claiming to be "spiritually" Native American, or hardcore anime fans from the west who try to emulate Japanese culture). This trope is not uncommon (depending on self-awareness) in those on the receiving end of in-universe Fan Dumb and Misaimed Fandom, let alone in-universe versions of Draco in Leather Pants delusions. Also not uncommon, conversely, by despisers of both, whether for or against the relevant misapprehensions. Not that the disdain always goes in one direction. The wannabes might well be trying to "clean up" the genuine guys' ethos or subculture, thus declaring themselves The Moral Substitute. The real guys might also be seen by both the wannabes and the general public as elitists, jealously guarding for themselves something that is actually part of the mass culture. (See also It's Popular, Now It Sucks!.) Bonus points if the wannabe uses phrases like "I want to be like you!" or "But I really do understand!" or "I totally am X!" See also Never Be a Hero. Frequently made while walking past a Wannabe Line. When the reason for the diss is youth and inexperience, it's While You Were in Diapers. If the disser's reason for being the real thing are very arbitrary, see No True Scotsman. If this takes place between different works and creators, see Knocking the Knockoff. Please keep Real Life examples light on Flame Bait.

Grodd mocks him for being created by a science experiment unlike him, "a proud child of Gorrila City", even though the inhabitants of Gorrila City were uplifted by an alien scientist. Mallah angrily hits him for the insult, leading to Grodd beating him to death.

Pretender Diss / int_1b2c8040	comment	Lampshaded in Corpies. Most Heroes tend to look down on PEERS, corporate-sponsored Supers working as emergency responders. Unlike licensed Heroes, these "corpies" aren't allowed to engage criminal Supers unless directly threatened. At the beginning of the book, Titan (a disgraced retired Hero deciding to come back) feels the same way about "corpies", believing they're nothing but pretenders and sell-outs, even as he accepts their offer to join their team because no other team wants him. He eventually gets called out on it by both his new teammates and his agent. He quickly changes his tune when they start going out and rescuing people, realizing that they genuinely want to help and are doing it the best way they know how. Even if they don't rush into battle against criminal Supers, they're still entering burning or crumbling buildings in order to save people. Sure, they have to do photoshoots and wear corporate logos, but they see it as a necessary evil in order to be able to do their job.

This (understandably) rapidly starts to piss her off. Felicity eventually takes a much gentler approach, and points out that while Laurel's desire to be the Black Canary is understandable and admirable, she is trying too hard to be like Sara. This is doomed to fail because one, she isn't Sara, and two, she has a light inside her that Sara never had. She needs to stop being like Sara, and just be herself. That's enough.

Several characters have issues with this, especially Gilgamesh, who repeatedly calls them both fakers. Shirou does score points, however, in that he has no illusions about it; he has no pride in his creations, but he knows that they aren't worthless at all. "Who says a copy can't surpass the original?" Shirou also ends up doing this to Gilgamesh, calling the King of Heroes a one-trick pony like him because he uses his Gate of Babylon just as a weapon while not knowing how to use any of the huge number of weapons in it. That just pisses Gilgamesh off, since he does know how to use the two weapons within that belong solely to him and no other.

Their feud ultimately culminated at Bound For Glory with Abyss emerging victorious. It was later revealed that Mick only said those things to fire up Abyss, and wanted to see how tough he truly was after hearing stories about what Abyss has done in his time in TNA.

When it turns out that her test wasn't a failing grade, they shun her as "gifted", and therefore, "fake normal". Subverted in another episode, where Lisa has to do a school report on her family's ancestry. Dismissing her Anglo/French roots as too bland, she decides to pass as part-Native American and invents a fictional tribe to belong to. Her ploy backfires when some actual Native Americans in the area not only believe her, but invite her to speak at a large Native American conclave about her experiences - and, of course, Lisa doesn't have any! At the conference, she confesses that she made everything up....prompting half the attendees at the conclave to shamefully stand up and confess that they are impostor Native Americans, too! One of the genuine Indians at the meeting, however, is not offended and takes the fakery as flattery: "Who wouldn't want to be like us?!" Though in the end, it's revealed she does have some marginal Native American heritage from Homer's side of the family. She never thought of asking him anything, and her response to Homer mentioning that fact of his family tree is a deadpan "yeah, I think I should have".

Ultimate featured this trope, wherein King Dedede pranked Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong into believing that their Arch-Enemy, long-requested fighter King K. Rool, was outside their house... only for the real King K. Rool to show up behind him and knock him aside - no doubt a Take That! towards the poor reception towards the Mii Fighter costume of him that featured in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. Many months later, a similar trailer played at the end of the E3 2019 Nintendo Direct with the same outcome, except with Dedede being replaced by that notorious Memetic Troll, Duck Hunt, who shows up wearing a costume that would look very familiar to fans of Rare prior to their purchase by Microsoft. Cue the two of them being shoved aside by another long-requested fighter, Banjo-Kazooie.

It claims to be a wide array of things, including God and the Universe, and it only appears to people who have tried to "play god" by performing human transmutation, taking something symbolic from them as punishment (but giving incredible knowledge of alchemy in return). Edward didn't think he needed anyone to help him stand, so he lost his leg. Alphonse wanted to feel their mother's warmth, so he lost his body. Edward gave up his right arm to get Alphonse, his "right-hand man", back. Mustang didn't willingly attempt to play god, but he did so nonetheless, and he lost his eyesight, so he could no longer see the great ambitions he had.

Pretender Diss / int_3368c850	comment	Mel Tillis once sang about a wannabe Casanova cowboy in his 1979 No. 1 hit "Coca-Cola Cowboy." Although cowboys might be laughed at if at a saloon they order a carbonated or non-alcoholic beverage, the lyrics seemingly imply that the title is metaphoric â€“ the cowboy has "an Eastwood smile and Robert Redford hair," but when it comes to substance he falls well short of being able to romance the woman who's trying to tell him off. The song was, incidentally enough, included as part of the Every Which Way but Loose soundtrack and one of two No. 1 country hits from the movie (the title track was the other).

Pretender Diss / int_41b0198a	comment	Occurs sometimes in The Dresden Files: At least one Black Court vampire was contemptuous of a crowd of LARP players in vampire get-up (ironically, one of their number really was a relatively decent White Court vampire), but for the most part, vampires don't rate their food highly enough to feel proper disdain. Vampires like Lara Raith are pretty businesslike about the whole thing (including eating their own wounded servitors), which is made all the more chilling by the fact that Lara can be quite warm and empathetic to humans she respects. Done again in another short story in which Dresden is confronted by a small group of teens wearing a combination of goth and "wizard" garb (as in Slytherin scarfs). They were upset that Dresden removed a curse so weak he could barely detect it (he basically improved the feng shui of the place, which removed the "curse" as an incidental), placed by the leader (assuming there was one in the first place). Dresden laughs at them and points out that none of them have any real magical potential, then pulls a gun on them when they threaten him.

When Dean meets Samuel, Samuel tests him with a question about vampires that a wannabe would fail. Sam and Dean are also very derisive of Vampire Wannabes and vampire fandom in general. Supernatural's vampires are, with very few exceptions, brutal killers who will use their fans for food without a second thought. And the exceptions don't act anything like Pattinson. Death himself delivers one to a power-tripping Castiel in the season seven premiere.

Din at first declares Bo-Katan to not be a real Mandalorian for removing her helmet, and she dismisses him as a zealot for keeping his on. He also insists on retaking a set of Mandalorian armor from Marshal Cobb Vanth, who doesn't pretend to be Mandalorian but recognizes a good set of armor when he sees one, and then returns the armor to Boba Fett, who also doesn't profess to be a Mandalorian but wants the armor as a family heirloom; because his adoptive father was a Mandalorian foundling, Din believes Boba to be a legitimate owner of the armor, whereas because he is a clone of his adoptive father, Bo-Katan believes him to not be a Mandalorian and barely even a person. Some time later, Bo-Katan's old lieutenant Axe Woves again calls Din "a misguided zealot" and claims he has not one drop of Mandalorian blood, but Bo-Katan now defends Din, as he took the Creed and Mandalorians are a people defined by their ethos, not their race or home planet.

With his name dragged through the mud, and the reputation of the Avengers club in tatters, Mikey fashions a new suit of armor and confronts Blackie, telling him that he has no idea what it means to be Iron Man.

Considering that Tenzin is Aang's son, he was rightly outraged by Tarrlok's comparison. Ironically, it would turn out that Tarrlok and Amon are both sons of Yakone.

They were upset that Dresden removed a curse so weak he could barely detect it (he basically improved the feng shui of the place, which removed the "curse" as an incidental), placed by the leader (assuming there was one in the first place). Dresden laughs at them and points out that none of them have any real magical potential, then pulls a gun on them when they threaten him.

Pretender Diss / int_70b26f38	comment	Fate/strange Fake: In her backstory, False Assassin was a member of The Hashshashin who dreamed of becoming their leader, Hassan-i-Sabbah. In an attempt to prove herself worthy, she studied the 18 previous Hassans until she was able to perform all of their Zabaniyas. She was rejected and mocked for doing nothing but copying people. In reality, her ability to master all the Zabaniyas plus her religious fanaticism scared her colleagues, so they deliberately put her down and stopped her from advancing. Alexandre Dumas has a flashback to a time he watched the play The Vampire with Charles Nodier. Nodier incessantly heckles the performance, saying these hacks don't know anything about how real vampires are like. To Dumas' confusion, Nodier claims to have met real vampires. Gilgamesh mocks Saber's Excalibur when he notices it is a replica of the real one.

Obviously, the Five and their teacher Shifu are not amused. Shifu sets out to mock and torment Po until he gives up on training, and the strict and humourless Tigress makes it perfectly clear she doesn't approve.

The first time he does serve with Klingons, he doesn't fit in because he's spent his life patterning himself as what Klingon stories say: serious and honor-bound, rather than a bunch of hard-drinking Boisterous Bruisers. Expect any Klingon adversary in a given episode to tell him, at some point, that he's not a real Klingon. Also from DS9 is Jadzia Dax, who used to be Curzon Dax, an Ambadassador who brokered the peace treaty between the Federation and the Klingon Empire and became a bit of an honorary Klingon himself. Most Klingons treat her with the same respect that they would Curzon, but one notable exception is Martok's wife Sirella. When Jadzia wants to marry Worf, Sirella treats her not as Curzon but as an alien interloper riding on someone else's reputation. On Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, a group of genetically enhanced humans watch Legate Damar delivering an address to Dominion-occupied Cardassia, shortly after his former boss Dukat's fall from grace.

Pretender Diss / int_90b916ba	comment	Batman: The Animated Series: Harley Quinn once dressed as a sexy policewoman (light blue shirt, dark blue knee-length skirt, billed cap, baton, and whistle) while crashing a police banquet held in Commissioner Gordon's honor. Renee Montoya, who is an actual policewoman, was not amused by this. Harvey Bullock is always giving Batman a hard time. He mostly seems to hold Batman in contempt for doing the police's work with his vigilantism despite the fact that Bullock, though honest, is possibly the most slovenly-behaved cop in Gotham. And, just like Batman, he's been known to rough up suspects and neglect proper procedures. "Birds of a Feather" has the Penguin being mocked for trying to pass himself off as one of Gotham's cultural elite (and failing miserably). He doesn't take it well.

Of the seven who survived their massive civil war, Incubus got his Key and a seventh of the universe because his Key's former holder willingly abandoned the position. The other six are fully aware of this and never stop bringing it up, seeing the seventh as little but an undeserving pretender.

The artist has stated that this is largely self-referential since bad-mouthing some young buck who was hailed six months later as "the voice of his generation" was a frequent and regular occurrence in his life until he learned to keep his trap shut.

He used to feel this way about Colt Cabana, but later admitted that Cabana is a real wrestler; he just wishes he'd stop doing comedy skits in the middle of matches. He's criticized Marko Stunt and Johnny Gargano (he's acknowledged Gargano's legitimate skills, but says he doesn't belong in the ring and should just be a trainer instead) for being short and Kevin Owens and Joey Janela for being fat. He's also called The Young Bucks less talented Hardy Boyz imitators, mocking them as the "Hardly Boys". He gave a rant denouncing Lucha Underground as fake. He really hates All Elite Wrestling and derides them as nothing but cosplayers pretending to be wrestlers. He is also not a fan of wrestlers with supernatural gimmicks like Bray Wyatt and several of the Gimmick Matches.

He even disses himself because he really does value humanity in his own warped way. His opinion is that one must earn immortality. Becoming a vampire either through submission to dark forces or artificial means (including Walter) seems to be more taking it than earning. As for his fledgling Seras, that was more toward her reluctance to drink blood and complete her transformation, but also fully admitted she had a point in her reasons and such. In all honesty, he does admire humanity, and may find himself to be a facsimile of the man he once was. A traitorous officer who became a vampire barges in on a Round Table meeting and holds a gun to Integra's head; she reminds him that he's only a mere fledgling vampire and that her organization has been hunting vampires for over a century, before Walter dices him to pieces.

Pretender Diss / int_c96cfe29	comment	Very minor example: In The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, you can give your sword to the blacksmiths to be sharpened, they do this by beating comically large hammers onto an anvil. Using your own hammer on the anvil gets you a response of "Hey, hey, amateurs shouldn't try to do this." Of course, smithing in real life is highly skilled labor and if you don't know what you're doing, you're probably going to screw over the poor sap using that sword (and quite possibly wreck the blacksmith's tools, as well). Especially Japanese smithing, which refines the metal as the blade's being shaped due to the low-quality ore in that country.

Pretender Diss / int_cfd860dd	comment	Nasuverse: Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works]: Shirou and Archer use copied weapons in a copied combat style fighting for borrowed ideals in a battle way out of his league. Several characters have issues with this, especially Gilgamesh, who repeatedly calls them both fakers. Shirou does score points, however, in that he has no illusions about it; he has no pride in his creations, but he knows that they aren't worthless at all. "Who says a copy can't surpass the original?" Shirou also ends up doing this to Gilgamesh, calling the King of Heroes a one-trick pony like him because he uses his Gate of Babylon just as a weapon while not knowing how to use any of the huge number of weapons in it. That just pisses Gilgamesh off, since he does know how to use the two weapons within that belong solely to him and no other. Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA: In both this and the Vow in the Snow movie, Angelica says Shirou's ability to copy weapons and fighting styles is nothing but a mockery of real mages like her. This may be because she was channeling Gilgamesh's powers and personality. Interestingly, the real Gilgamesh, who had been turned into a child and is much nicer as a result, compliments Shirou's abilities. Fate/Apocrypha: After Siegfried sacrificed his life to save the Homunculus, the being names himself Sieg in his honor. Sieg later discovers he has inherited Siegfried's power and can temporarily transform into Siegfried. Mordred mocks Sieg as nothing but a faker and a cheap knockoff. Like Shirou, however, Sieg is under no illusions about this, though he declares it still won't stop him from fighting to pay tribute to Siegfried's memory. Lord El-Melloi II Case Files: Hephaestion mocks Waver Velvet and says he's so weak and average that he does not deserve to call himself one of Iskandar's followers. While Waver is very shaken up by this, he manages to retort that he never saw her when Iskandar summoned his Badass Army, Ionian Hetairoi, back in Fate/Zero, so she's not a real follower of Iskandar either. Tsukihime: At the end of the first route, Roa plays Smug Snake, trying to say he's similar to Shiki since they've both died and they both see and can manipulate death. With Roa having royally pissed him off at that point, Shiki calmly asks whether Roa can see the "lines of death" on inanimate objects, and from that Shiki realizes that Roa really doesn't understand death at all. Afterwards, he calmly and quietly tears Roa apart. "I'll show you what it truly means to kill something."

When they penetrate his cover, the fanboy's fate is...unpleasant. Thessaly's disdainful attitude towards neo-pagans; she herself is an ancient and ruthless witch who would under no circumstances act like a cuddly environmentalist in harmony with all things. Perhaps unusually, this isn't meant to be a Take That! to make the audience feel superior — she's frightening (almost monstrous) in her behaviour and prickly in attitude, and Death rather definitively disagrees with her on one important point. Another example: Morpheus's response to the ghost of Hector Hall calling himself "The Sandman" is — in stark contrast to his usual behavior — laughing his head off. Then there is a couple of Satanist-wannabes greeting when they went to hell.

Pretender Diss / int_d9c602eb	comment	South Park played with this trope in a 2008 episode featuring the hilariously snarky "Goth Kids". The Twilight movies had just become popular, and quite a few of the "cool" kids at school begun dressing like vampires (complete with fangs and capes, and drinking tomato juice while pretending it's blood). The Goth quartet already seen in earlier episodes is annoyed at this, especially since they now get mistaken for vampires themselves due to their antiquated black clothing and Looks Like Cesare face paint. They angrily tell the "little Justin and Britney wannabes" to stop pretending to be somebody they're not... but, ironically, the Goths fit this description themselves. In fact, it's revealed that the only difference between them and the "vampire" kids is that they chose to become "Goth" not as the result of a fad, but because they were social outcasts who were picked on by the other children and so decided to embrace their outsider status as dramatically as possible — that, and also the fact that they presumably made their costumes and makeup at home rather than buying them prefab from Hot Topic at the mall. They end up giving a speech before the entire school in which they pointedly explain the differences between Goths and "vampires". And burning Hot Topic to the ground so the vamp-kids can't buy their clothes anymore. This is then continued in "Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers" when Henrietta (the chubby Goth girl) gets send to a help camp and she comes back as an emo. Thus, the above becomes expanded in the Goths looking down on the Emo kids (With the differences being marginal, best explained as the emos hating themselves and the goths hating everyone else.) After Micheal (the tall one) is also sent to the camp, Pete (the one with bangs) and Firkle (the kindergoth) are forced to team up with the aforementioned Vamp kids (and apologizing for burning the Hot Topic) to stop the camp. All while enduring people not seeing the differences. Then it's exaggerated when they summon the ghost of Edgar Allen Poe, the original goth/vamp kid/emo, and he looks down on them all for being pretenders while they find him too much for them. We even get this immortal line from Pete after Poe (initially) refuses to save them for nihilistic reasons:

This causes his Mirage counterpart to roughly twist his arm behind him before shoving him. The Mirage Turtles first comments to the others are mumblings about "colored bandanas" and "wannabes". As a kind of Brick Joke, Mirage Michaelangelo says he kinda dug the belt buckles in the ending scene. 2003 Shredder is disgusted by 1987 Shredder and says he takes the Shredder's name in vain.

Pretender Diss / int_ede55421	comment	Doom Eternal: The Marauder mocks the Doom Slayer as not being a true Night Sentinel because he was a human from Earth taken in by them and not a native of Argent D'Nur. This is hypocritical because the Marauder is a traitor of the Night Sentinels who joined the demons and willingly became one of them.

Pretender Diss / int_ee384546	comment	Cyberpunk 2077: V gets this reaction from at least one old "Samurai" fan, who insists that no-one who wasn't "there, man!" in the 2020s could ever understand "Samurai". In a grand case of glorious irony V has a copy of the consciousness of Johnny Silverhand, lead singer of "Samurai" in their head, who is screaming at said fan for settling down and becoming as much a part of the establishment "Samurai" railed against as the corporations Silverhand fought in life, and in Silverhand's words, knowing all the lyrics but understanding none. Old chromatic rockerboy and anti-corporate anarchist Kerry Eurodyne has a violent, visceral reaction to having one of his songs covered by corporate-owned, chart-topping lazr-pop group "Us Cracks", to the point where he decides to express his disapproval by kicking in the door to "Us Cracks"'s green room and waving a gun around. After learning that the band members are in fact independents, and, if anything, even more creative, driven and passionate about music than he is, Kerry mellows, to the point that before they split ways they are taking selfies and tentatively discussing a possible future collaboration.

Pretender Diss / int_eef5470a	comment	Rurouni Kenshin: In a filler episode, while beating up evil sumo wrestlers coming at him with clubs and other weapons, Sanosuke calls them out for resorting to weapons and says they do not deserve to call themselves sumo wrestlers. When Kenshin fights Raijuta, who constantly boasts about being a killer, Raijuta manages to give Kenshin a small cut and starts celebrating. Kenshin then immediately sees through his lie of being a killer because a real killer would be disappointed in not landing a killing blow. Kenshin derides him for being a coward and an amateur before defeating him. This is in the manga only. While the manga version of Raijuta is exposed as never having killed anyone before, the anime version had killed dozens of people and gives Kenshin a tougher fight. When Kenshin is fighting Senkaku, Senkaku tries to do a Badass Boast about how dangerous he is because he's killed 99 people (quite a few of which were probably helpless civilians, incidentally) and wants to make Kenshin number 100. Saito, who is sitting on the sidelines during the fight and has done everything from fighting bloody civil wars to putting down rebellions and conspiracies against the government, responds by snorting in derision and saying something along the lines of "Only 99? And you even bother to call yourself a warrior?"

As he makes clear during their "fight", he also considers Euron inferior in every aspect.

During a panel at a convention, some of his fans started asking Joe Quesada, then the editor-in-chief of Marvel, "Why isn't Ryan Sohmer writing Deadpool?" Quesada's deadpan response was to say "Never heard of him."

Pretender Diss / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Worf, in both The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, gets this frequently because he was raised by humans and serves in Starfleet with its mission of peaceful exploration. The first time he does serve with Klingons, he doesn't fit in because he's spent his life patterning himself as what Klingon stories say: serious and honor-bound, rather than a bunch of hard-drinking Boisterous Bruisers. Expect any Klingon adversary in a given episode to tell him, at some point, that he's not a real Klingon.
