Gatekeeping is a way of protecting cool things (like certain music, style, hobby...) used by the OGs.We protect these things from posers/trend followers/normies so they dont become mainstream.If you get mad at people who gatekeep you are one of those 3 things(poser/trend follower/normie).If you support it and use it you are probably an OG/real fan.
Mia:hey i was bullying you for being emo in middle school but now i like that style and im a goth.
Lela:no you are not a real goth you are just following trends and you will hop on the next trend when this ends so might as well stop embarrassing yourself and embarrassing all the real goths.
Mia:noo but i found myself this is what i like
Lela: no you didnt you was an egirl a month ago and a vsco girl 5 months ago that is not how this works
Mia:its the gatekeeping for me🧚 ♀️
Lela:shut the f up

The Gatekeeper is the person who upon receiving a bowl or a blunt within the circle, begins inhaling off the hit in the chamber that is left from the previous smoker. The Gatekeeper is not a frowned upon or derogatory term.

A gatekeeper is a distinctly solid turd at the beginning of a pooing session, which immediately precludes a bout of explosive diarrhea. So named for the fact that this solid turd holds back the gates of ass vomit.
John: "Dude, I thought I was constipated last night, but it turns out it was just a gatekeeper and I think I broke my toilet."
Nathan: "That's what you get for drinking all that malt liquor!"

A queer person, often but not necessarily a gay cis man, who attempts to exclude other groups from the general umbrella of queerness.
"I don't see why the miscellaneous queers get to march with us now"
"Because this is a celebration of solidarity with fellow queers, not your private gatekeeper's party"
"They reckon if you don't publicly transition, you're not one of us. They're a total gatekeeper."
"and then she called herself some kind of queer identity thing I have never heard of. I don't mean to be a gatekeeper but I honestly wasn't believing it was a real thing until she explained it."

The gatekeeper is a woman who is either petty, fat or ugly (or a combination of the three) that will forbid access to interaction with the other women in the group. She will be the unofficial spokeswoman, denying all to get close enough to work their charms on the other women... and she must be taken out, by any means necessary! usually, the wingman will take out this cock blocker, but if she is not diverted, no one is getting any action. best accomplished with ego stroking, feigned interest and extra alcohol (pending on how unattractive she is, you may need it for yourself). the man who falls on this live grenade doesn't buy drinks that night or the next guys night out.
me and the fellas were at the sports bar, and saw thse sexy ass girls, but the damn gatekeeper was cock blocking like she was on the All Madden team! I ended up with the short straw and had to take out the gatekeeper this time.

Normie: this is why this character is actually a transgender black male with autism, a thread
Cultured swine: this is why gatekeeping is good.
