Oh I'm a huge fan of gate keeping to maintain a particular culture within a hobby and fan base. However some things become just stupid. Toxic Gate Keeping if you will.
Now a fun thing is when you have something like Video Games or Star Wars which goes hard in the paint to "break down gatekeeping" but ultimately injects a culture that is more toxic and "gate keepy" then then one it claims to have replaced.
