>>7434930>What’s the argument against gatekeeping?It stymies evolution and advancement and promotes stagnancy both in ideas and implementation.
Most gatekeepers are nostalgia fags who have an autistic-level obsession with whatever 'thing' they're gatekeeping, typically low-brow pop culture fandom trash. But their nostalgia demands strict adherence to the rules of whatever 'thing' it is they're obsessed with, which means only opinions which perfectly mirror theirs are allowed.
This cultivates a weird, autistic sort of elitism which, consisting solely of said autistic losers, creates an echo chamber that no one with any sort of brain or common sense wants any part of.
Just your typical us vs. them groupthink shit that millennials and zoomers can't help but inject into every single fucking thing that exists.
