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.

skill-gated

Skill-gated is any type of game that becomes too hard to play, because of the "skill level" needed to maintain a level of positivity and fun. When players get too good, it forces you to either try and match their skill level or give up playing the game.

Call of Duty has become mainly skill-gated, because of the amount of good players.

I dont think I want to play Fortnite, its too skill-gated.

(insert game name) has become skill-gated.
