Grief Gating

The act of selectively mourning the death of someone based on their political or ideological alignment, while ignoring or rationalizing the deaths of those outside one’s tribe. A form of emotional compartmentalization that reveals unconscious bias in expressions of empathy.

When the invited speaker was killed, the campus held vigils and posted tributes. But when a student protester died last year, barely anyone mentioned it. That’s grief gating—mourning filtered through ideological lenses.

Chinese gaming situation

The situation when the release date of the 1992 gaming console Tandy Memorex VIS (Visual Information System) coincided with Mortal Kombat controversy, hence this gaming console had to have its software releases primarily consisting of educational titles. This situation highly resembles the 15-year ban on gaming consoles in mainland China from 2000 through 2015.

The Chinese gaming situation in the early '90s forced companies to rethink their strategies, similar to how the Tandy Memorex VIS focused on educational titles amid the Mortal Kombat controversy.

Queer-gating

When you and your significant other hide your queerness from others. Not like queerbaiting at all, instead it’s acting straight instead of queer.

To gate-keep one’s queerness from others.

When you’re gay but can’t show public affection to your significant other you are “queer-gating”.

Performative Gaming

A way of showing superiority in gaming circles though usually occurs in retro gaming circles by paying a lot of money to use original hardware & software while mainly only doing it to show off on social media rather than genuine intrest in the medium. Signs include looking down upon those using modern alternative means of accessing older video games and making your entire social media page just showing off consoles and physical media. They always tend to advocate for physical media and will constantly talk about digital media being the downfall of society. This also can be only going out in public just to play older video games. These acts are also very closly associated with "cute core" and "cozy" gaming. This in turn creates a hivemind that has made game collecting far more inaccessable to the general public.

By showing off and taking pictures of the old console and software in online and public spaces, you participate in Performative Gaming.
