Gateleaving

The act of emotionally or intellectually distancing yourself from a shared experience to become a detached, clinical observer. Unlike gatekeeping (which keeps people out), gateleaving is when you "leave" the shared space of "we/us" to talk about "you/them" as if you are an alien or a judge.

Person A: "It’s interesting how you humans always get emotional about the weather."
Person B: "Bro, stop gateleaving us and just admit it's a nice day. You're acting like an alien."

My boyfriend started gateleaving our relationship when he said 'Your problems are yours' instead of 'Our problems.'"

Gatebearing 

In the game of Eve Online, when a group of PVP pilots inadvertently come to "carebear," or to attack NPC pirates, usually because of a faction (special) spawn on a stargate that they are camping or holding on. It can also happen if there are small ships in the fleet that cannot take the NPC fire.

Said to be invented by Stealthfield members while on a roam through Etherium Reach. Not to be confused with "gay bearing."

Scout: Guys, look! There's a Dread Guristas spawn on the other side of the gate! Lets do some gatebearing!

Frigate Pilot: Guys, can we do a little gatebearing? These NPC destroyers are ripping me up.
