You have no power in the real world friend.
you're all retarded, and enshittified isn't even a word you esl
It does but obviously not against the mongrel hordes. You can't gatekeep gaming as a whole there's too many people to push back but you can gatekeep a much smaller community within. Just don't let a tranny get moderation power in that community
My vidya community of choice is so niche and so autistic that most people, even on this site, aren't aware it exists. I don't have to worry about normies or femoids because it's a great combination of hard to learn, unforgiving, full of autists, and repellent to non-autists.
paradox gaymes are as normalfag as they come these days, subplebbits dedicated to their games probably have over a million subscribers when taken all together

didn't gatekeep anyone. team red and blue bought it.
>gatekeeping when the people at the top of the foodchain are the ones allowing the diversity
wouldn't be an issue if it was stopped at the start of all this, but you're a /vt/ tranny so I wouldn't expect you to really know that
>why aren't you gatekeeping
gatekeeping itself as an effort is fucking pointless as all hell. the games/platforms used to do this themselves by being niche but now every one wants that sweet mass market money
I wrote it some time ago and wasn't mad at all, in fact I agree with the general idea behind the original post. But the approach is just wrong. Gatekeeping isn't even possible as a concept and trains of thought as "other people ruined MY hobby" or "people are here only to have sex" are obnoxiously retarded, and particularly autistic when turned into actual claims.
>other people ruined MY hobby
True claim if the hobby was completely changed from what it originally was >people are here only to have sex
You cannot deny the fact that a lot of people get into hobbies for socials reasons, to fit in, etc. This naturally degrades the hobby.
But yes, gatekeeping is only a fantasy. It cannot work 99% of the times.
If the hobby was completely changed, we are talking about a different hobby. Should I ask, why would the original self-proclaimed "founders" be part of that activity if they didn't like the changes? to allow other people to join in? maybe even to celebrate the illusion that they are being accepted? >people get into hobbies to fit in
Why would you try to fit a community about a thing you don't even care about in the first place, unless that thing was already popular enough. In that case it's just low self esteem. But at that point the hobby should already be a different version than the ones the autists should be enjoying, right?
The truth is none of this makes sense. People are just doing what they enjoy, and they just happen to enjoy different things. If that is enough to trigger all of this meta discussion about the hobby itself, then your problem is more on the social side of things.
In the original comic it's the founders mistakenly allowing in people who are absolutely there to not play the game + actually changing it for casual appeal.
Your "totally not seething I swear" version completely missed the nuance and forgot about the changes entirely. But the best part is that you are still describing normalfags kicking out some people from their thing and celebrating it as a good thing because "huh... they are autistic and le sex lmao".
Malding or not, your mindset shows you never belonged here, to say nothing of your reading comprehension.
You really don't, due to social media there are so many different communities that foster around games that you cannot gatekeep the community as a whole. At best you can make them fuck off to another subsection of the community.
Consoles were explicitly designed to not be gatekept.
There's no way to "lose" that one because it was never niche.
As for PC, you'd have to just be retarded if you think major titles and studios aren't just trying to appeal to the widest audience possible half the time.
If you want to have your cool kids club, go find the single devs and Doom-sized teams making your incorruptible little games, or find forums to only talk and play with "serious gamers."
It's like if I enjoyed going out with a buddy to rock climb at state parks but found out that bouldering gyms now exist, and then everytime I saw an ad for one or drove by the one on my way to work I lost my shit.
If a band stops making music I like, is it other people's fault? Is it their fault for not making their music specifically for me and in the way I want? Am I a whining child that is incapable of using the internet to search for things I DO like?
You belong on Twitter with all the other retards screeching about how everything should be made to cater to them.
You're no different, and no less pathetic.
You're also clearly too young to know what it was like when vidya was a niche hobby, because it used to all be indie or indie-esque.
The indie scene is still alive and well, we've got more options than ever, and it's even easier to find mountains of things that conform to your whims.
You're not going to get your own personal $100mil AAA game, and you never were.
You're not going to get your Blaire Witch Project on a Marvel budget, and if you do, it'll be because everyone wanted it and it'll be made with everyone in mind. CGI fight scene, childish puns, and pandering included.
Everything you like hasn't ever been ruined by other people enjoying it and it never will.
It'll only ever be ruined by whoever created it or currently owns it by trying to squeeze as much profit as they can out of it, not caring about the quality of the next installment, or deciding to go in a direction you don't personally agree with.

Afterwards I spent a solid half an hour talking to him while cuddling, asking if it was gay or not. In the end just saying "Alright man who gives a fuck let's just lie down it is comfy in here"
I know how IRL sex works so it makes the picture even more vivid in my head.
This isn't fucking funny anymore.
Now imagine if you didn't even have that.
We live in strange and dysfunctional times. I think all any of us can do is just try to make the best of it with whatever time and resources we have to work with. All I wanted was to move out but I may end up being a NEET forever and I am really upset about that. All I wanted in life was to have the privacy and money I needed to be a degen and pay to have porn I like made (and no the AI is nowhere good enough for me yet and that's when it's not being censored to fuck). At least I got along with my parents. I had an good e-Friend for a few years in a similar situation but he didn't let that stop him. He got what money he could and networked to start couch surfing and move out. He actually had sex and everything too. But earlier this year his luck ran out and his options were to move back in with his parents who were abusive to him or be homeless. He killed himself. I only knew him over the Internet I didn't think a suicide of someone I never actually saw would affect me so much.
Remember whenever you'd see someone posting like a complete and utter retard or homosexual here they'd be told to lurk moar and then promptly ignored?
We stopped doing that and look at the state of the entire website now.

I am. Other people are doing it too. You don't gatekeep by being active tho. Plenty of people larp as keepers while trying to push their degenerate agendas. It's not genuine.
TL;DR: The only way to gatekeep is not to talk about it with anybody anywhere.

And how do you go about doing that without getting banned, your assets seized and thrown in jail for hate crimes?
