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.

Get the Grief Gatingmug. The corner of the playground which will forever be marked to the class of 2019 class. normally inhabited by the “popular kids” was the back to base start line every time it was also fun to just shove people into the gates so it made a loud noise and scared the teachers. also there’s a weird creepy drain that we pulled up once and we saw a whole load of 💩. 4/10 not a nice experience but it was funny.
Person 1 - Hey you comming to The Corner Gate
today?
Person 2 - Duh, we’re playing back to base today
Person 1 - okay i’ll see you after lunch i’ve got hot meal
Person 2 - i’ve got packed lunch so we can meet at the benches

Get the Snob Gatemug. A term that can be attached to the end of any sentence to stress importance and street credibility.
A term that has no specific meaning and can be used in pure nonsense.
