No, it's in fact necessary to keep a community healthy
You can't be a gamer if you don't recognize that ass
people who complain about gatekeeping are the ones the gate is meant to keep out
We didn't do it enough and now look where we are
no, video games are in a terrible state because we didn't gatekeep hard enough
If more people did it when it counted, maybe there'd still be something worth giving a frick about this awful pastime.
Frick the No True Scotsman fallacy and frick anyone who commits it.
I keep hearing the word "gatekeeping" thrown around. But how would one go about doing such a thing?
Just stop certain people from buying a game?
You tell Black folk that your favourite game is trash and they shouldn’t play it and then you tell Ganker it’s the best game
I never liked FPS games
No. Classes have "required reading" for a reason.
Queen of Saints?
It's blatantly fricking demonstrated otherwise.
>"The only people complaining about gatekeeping are the ones that exact gate is suppossed to keep out."
You = ???
Only bugmen use terms like "gatekeeping". there is nothing wrong with preserving something that is sacred to you. The entire meaning of "gatekeeping" from ancient times was that of defending yourself from invaders.
So frick you trannies.

Exclusivity is not bad for any hobby or interest. Only women give a shit about "gatekeeping" because they are herd animals and can't bear being on the outside of something mainstream. Things become cool because they have a bar for entry, with games that was basic motor skill and basic computer literacy. As they become more mainstream the bar for entry lowers, then people who don't understand or respect the medium start creating content for it. This results in a 2021 situation in which every AAA game is mass produced, bland, politically correct rubbish.
If women had been "gatekept" out of gaming we'd still have games with Far Cry 2 quality narratives and tone. Instead they are all colorful and wacky, they all have more than 50% female enemies and NPC's and nearly all the main characters are women. Even in settings where it makes no fricking sense, like medieval Britain or violent criminal street gangs. It will pass just like every other shitty entertainment fashion but god damn it is so fricking annoying and stupid.
People mistake Gatekeeping as preventing people to play or enjoy a game/series, when in reality is to prevent people who know nothing about the game/series to talk and discuss about the game/series without the barest minimum of knowledge about it
I've literally never played counter-strike and even I know what dust is
