Get the gamekeeper's thumb mug.The girl who can't get a guy, usually drinks the most and is always a cock blocker. There is usually one in most groups (girls group).
One of the 'The Gatekeepers' friends are chatting with a guy, she would then cock block them in anyway possible.

Get the The Gatekeeper mug.The action of preventing the rest of European Starcraft II players to make it to the top three spots dominated by The Holy Trinity of the continent in Clem (France), Reynor (Italy) and Serral (Finland). Called this way for being often performed by the Gabekeeper Gabriel "HeroMarine" Segat (Germany) who has erected himself as the ultimate obstacle to surpass in order to reach such accomplishment.
"I'm always here Gabekeeping just like every season." -Gabriel Segat at a winner interview.
"No one else will be able to reach top 3 in EU if Gabe just keeps Gabekeeping like he always does."
"I hope some of the top 3 drops like the last season so a new player can dodge Gabekeeping and reach the season finals with a top 4 finish."

Get the Gabekeeping mug.n. The practice of preventing the entry of bad actors into a fandom. The bad actors’ intent is to damage intellectual properties by forcing the IP owner to change the lore, alter the gameplay, or otherwise decrease the enjoyment of the IP by long-time, heavily invested fans. These bad actors typically have no interest in the intellectual property and are not willing to spend time or money to support the IP, but have a loud voice on Twitter or other social media, fooling IP owner into thinking they have more clout than they do. They usually join the fandom for political reasons or to damage the public image of the fandom.
“I used to be against gatekeeping. Then I saw what happened to Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr. Who, the video game industry, Marvel, DC, Hollywood, Dungeons and Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, the NBA, the NFL, and MLB. Gatekeep your fandom, my friends!”

Get the Gatekeeping mug.Gatekeeping is when someone takes it upon themselves to decide who does or who does not have access or rights to a community or identity. The type of gatekeeping I see are the birthdate gatekeeping like “iF yOu wErE bOrN iN 2o08. yOu wErE tHe lAsT pEoPlE tO hAvE a DeCent cHiLdHoOd”
early 2007 born (January-April): man... I miss the early 2010s...
late 2007 born (September-December): me too man...
early 2007 born: stfu you had to grow up in the late 2010s because you are literally next year so take it and
mid 2007 born (may-august): all people born in our year and the neighbouring years had a similar experience while growing up. gatekeeping shouldn’t matter

Get the Gatekeeping mug.
When people discriminate against others who want to enjoy the same things as them, and usually gatekeepers use the dumbest reasons as excuses. Only justified when it's against Tiktok because 1. - Tiktok as a whole is ruining our youth and is useless to humanity, and 2. - it's not even a cause worth defending. Other than those instances, gate keeping is trash.
Gatekeeping sucks, don't do it.
