When self-appointed authorities in the gaming community attempt to dictate how others should play, speak, or engage based on personal preferences or perceived norms.
"I prefer playing stealthily in this game."
"You're not a real gamer unless you play aggressively."
"I like using this controller for gaming." "Real gamers only use XYZ brand. You're not serious about gaming."
"I enjoy playing casually for fun." "Casual gamers ruin the experience for serious players. Step up or quit."
"No, it's not a mod/playstyle choice!!! Silent Assassin is cheating, and anyone with half a brain cell is going to think of you as a cheater if you run it."
"Embracing a 'Gamer Gatekeeping' attitude, some assert their words as law in the gaming world, dictating how everyone should play. Disregarding these proclaimed rules may lead to exclusion from the gaming community."

Get the gaslight gatekeep girlbossmug. A person who helps others pass through from life into death. They have a gentle soul and are special people. Usually they are unknowingly brought into a persons life before they are going to die to help the person's soul transfer from the living into death and the afterlife, whatever that may entail.
Person A: The reason you keep having people around you die is because you are The Gatekeeper, here to ease their soul during death for their transition into the afterlife to be easier.
Gatekeeper: Really? I guess someone has to be the Gatekeeper...

Get the Gatekeepermug. A wrinkly, saggy, middle aged, jobless whore who peaked in the 80s and thinks just because she owns a pair of leather boots and a gimp mask, that she’s better than anyone else who attempts to learn more about the bdsm fetish.
Sandra is a real Domme Gatekeeper, she belittles other dommes and is the reason the community is rotting away. She ought to get a grip, she’s 42 and her kids are fed up of having to hold the camera whilst she pretends to whip it and calls it a ‘sissy slut’.
