Shit, my boy Marshall Mathers has several alter egos. Slim Shady and Eminem being the best known ones, but he also went by Evil when he did Bad meets Evil with Royce da 5'9" (Bad) (Oh look, that guy also has two alter egos because his last name sure as hell isn't 5'9" and actually his first name isn't even Royce)

And hey, Eminem won an Oscar for a movie where he was literally credited as Eminem, not Marshall Bruce Mathers III.

I don't know shit about Markiplier, haven't seen a single one of his videos, haven't really watched any let's plays since about the time SeaNanners played Minecraft. In fact, I had to go to Wikipedia to find out that Markiplier got famous doing let's plays. But I HAVE seen the name Markiplier several times, so clearly his name is very big and it would be stupid as hell not to use it.

And that's kind of cringey to me as well. However, it is slightly different as 8 Mile was pretty much an Eminem biopic, so he was kind of playing Eminem
