>>92144675at gatekeeping sure, but your opponent in this instance is the bait, which is disingenuous faux-gatekeeping
nobody baits with the intent of getting a boring outcome where nobody replies, and he's baiting someone who has already claimed knowledge, which makes no sense if he wants to restrict the information since he is clearly asking for a reply
the unknown here is whether the baiter actually knows demo, thus it is a retard trap for someone to get mad and give a poor explanation, or if you're really generous and a nice guy, it could be a bratty and shitty way to beg for the lore (a win-win for the potentially newfag baiter, albeit very rude)
my conclusion is he was bluffing, it was an attempt to fit in
