I don’t really wanna tell you, it’s kinda my thing and I don’t really want other people to know about it. Nothing personal.
I’m don’t really think y’all need to know how to use it in a sentence, sorry. Gatekeeping is my thing.

Get the Gatekeepingmug. To limit how much control a certain party/person has in a collective identity or activity. Usually carried out with undue pettiness or resentment. Instead of using their knowledge about a particular subject to improve their lives or help others, gatekeepers attain a sense of accomplishment by arbitrarily judging what is and isn't "real".
*A normal social media comment section*
A: "Who watches anime in DUB?? It's so cringe and sounds completely forced. I would know! I am studying to be a translator. I have been consuming Japanese media for over 25 years! I can tell you that the speech sounds wrong and ruins the personality of the characters!! If you were a real anime fan you would just watch SUB!!"
B: "Niggas be hating on their own language and gatekeeping ANIME. Subs are hard to watch when eating. I can only watch while eating food because I'm not a bum ass nigga with nothing to do besides beat my meat while hugging a life-size waifu pillow and managing my kittens on discord."
And thus, two members of the same community who could have been friendly toward each other are now enemies due to the consequences of gatekeeping.

Get the Gatekeepersmug. A gatekeeper is a selfish person who keeps songs from other people just so they can feel special and keep the songs for their own personal enjoyment.

Get the gatekeepingmug. Why are they gatekeeping non-binary lesbian? Because the men think they are better than me and the women think they are too good to fuck me. The only way to maintain their supposed superiority is to DEPRIVE ME of money and credit. They are using moral superiority as justification for DOING THIS TO ME.
Hym "And BEYOND THAT, they want to use the surveillance apparatus on other people. Or hide the fact that there have been negative results. They are likely making a faux-consequentialist like 'even if he's right, it's better if...' or 'Even if this is wrong, it's better if...' ALL THE WHILE maintaining a mandatory willful ignorance regarding the consequences. They want to keep me imprisoned. But the is no crime. They don't accept culpability in the consequences. Consequences the may include the death of a child. Why? Because having a powerful voice the expresses views that are antithetical to THE CHURCH (Jewish or otherwise) needs to be prevented. And even the Atheists are in on it. Because they have taken a position of 'Non-resistant non-belief' and that allows them to operate EXACTLY LIKE THE CHURCH.

Without having to espouse the churches rhetoric. What's the difference between Matt Dillahunty and Mike Winger? Nothing. They live the exact same life. The Atheists don't like the conclusions I've drawn OR how I've drawn them and even if I am factually CORRECT they would rather 'someone like me' live in squaller than succeed. So, live in squaller I will. And so will you. Because squaller is fine to an atheist. It isn't homeless. If have a right to a home but if I lose it, what does the atheist do? Nothing. I have a right to health care but if I don't receive it, what does the atheist do? Nothing. I COULD do it myself. But then I wouldn't be beholden to them. They need the manpower to push their policy. So, if the state doesn't do it for me, I don't get it. Doesn't matter that I am only unable to do it myself because of the gatekeeping. The people they pity deserve it more in their moral calculus so I don't need it. And won't get it. Isn't that weird? The people who believe that I have a right to health care and that billionaires are robbing the lower class are perfectly fine with a billionaire robbing me and the right they think I should have I do not have?"
