Is using "whom" uncool or something? Maybe I'm just elitist (in a bad way) for liking it.
Whom use, even correct use but especially incorrect use, can signal an excessive concern with pedantry.
Speaking of pedantry, I have no doubt that you meant:
Alternatively, if it's done by someone whom you already know decently well, and who you know isn't really a crazy obsessive pedant, it can instead signal a liking of international or British English over American.
It's possible to avoid the "whom" and be grammatical: "*Who* is Being Called a Cult Leader By You?".
"If there's something strange in your neighborhood, who is gonna be called by you? Ghostbusters!"
