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!”

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

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.

The fat,ugly, or fat and ugly girl that attaches herself to a good looking girl. The soul existance of a gatekeeper is to keep the pretty girl from ever meeting someone. If the gatekeeper is beaten by a man know as the chosen one or a man with a wingman the gatekeeper will no longer have any reason to exist and becomes a fallen gatekeeper.
Did you see that hottie at the end of the bar? dude, fly wingman for me and take out the gatekeeper.

Female appendages that forestall, deter, or prevent procreative sex.
Gatekeepers work to prevent conception
Gatekeepers work to prevent conception
horny? you'll encounter Gatekeepers before you can orgasm
Gatekeepers are contraceptive
I wanted in her pussy but when I insisted on getting past her ultimate Gatekeepers... I discovered anal sex is a THOUSAND times more fucking awesome
As long as the position you fuck her in has her ass BELOW her pussy, anal sex is contraceptive (and not abortifacient like pussy on birth control), so her Gatekeepers are more likely to allow it.
She likes penis but (of course size does matter) she is not ready to conceive a child with you.
Some of her Gatekeepers perform double duty: left hand, right hand.
Appease her Gatekeepers and masturbate to your homemade sex video you made with her
The better your refractory period the more you will encounter Gatekeepers
Her Gatekeepers don't care how often you use porn: she prefers you use porn instead of using her.
If her Gatekeepers won't let you in her ass dump her.
When she refuses making a fucking video dump that Gatekeeper.
