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 Gateka mug.Any law so ridiculous that it causes a person to ignore it, making it easier for that individual to break other laws, often escalating the significance of their crimes. Generally creating a lifelong criminal.
I wish our lawmakers would take positions more seriously and stop passing gateway laws to score political points, it just leads to disregard for all laws.
