yes, this IS a rage bait thread.but this is still true.
Shut up Kirby
ok?so why should I bother with u
>>719518541Yes, And? Just because the community is fragile doesn't mean you just waltz right in and fuck it up because you feel like it.
That's why the highest level of gatekeeping, the government, is run on fear.
>>719518541>OP joins gaming hobby>Gay and stupid games get made for OP>Previously good games get turned gay and stupid to cater to OP.>Original gamers don't buy or like games that are gay and stupid.>Somehow this is our fault games are now gay and stupid and don't sell.
>>719518541And why should i be insecure to preserve something i know (you) will ruin 100%?
>>719518541I honestly don't care if you want to label it insecurity or whatever just stay the fuck out.
i literally said this was a bait thread and you STILL repliedyou're all fuckin hopeless
>insecurityAbout what?
>>719518541Not gatekeeping ruined litterature, TRPGs and videogaming, so go fuck yourself.
>>719518541this>>719518717and thisif you are interested in a topic but you don't bother to atleast learn some entry level knowledge before acting like a retard in the community then you deserve to be either mocked or kicked or both.
>>719518541Ruining other people hobbies because you need to achieve validation and belong somewhere will not make you feel better
>outsiders enter a space and demand it pander to them>they start wondering why everything sucks balls nowits like virtual california
>>719518873But you said "it's still true" which implies sincerity, which is incompatible with being bait.
>>719519107you're still posting
>>719519142Why wouldn't I be?
The people complaining about gatekeeping are the ones the gate was meant to keep out.
>>719518541its not always wrong to be insecure.
>>719518541Go back.
>>719519107anon wants to air out his actual opinions but is also scared of pushback so he preemptively set up a facade of irony he can rely on in case someone criticizes himremember, modern day e-kiddie irony is not like our old irony where we pretended to do lame stuff as a joke, theirs is a way to cope with an inability to be sincere, so they actually use it to do/say things they really mean but with the pretence of uncaring disconnect, instead of humor
>>719519220Correct, being insecure means a loss of security on things we care for. Gatekeeping the things we care for makes them firm, fixed and less liable to be broken. Secure.
>>719518738You also forgot to add in between the last two>Op also doesn't buy or like the games that are gay and stupidThe people that infiltrate hobbies never talk about how they themselves don't buy or engage in the shit catered towards them either.
Gatekeeping is only a problem if you aren't good enough to keep up or smart enough to keep quiet. Nobody can prevent you from playing a game, but we are not obligated to put up with your retarded faggot ass.
>>719519220>>719519336>>719519434Damn you didn't need to BTFO OP that bad
>>719518541I am insecure about my hobby. It is tenuous and in a fragile steady state. It's like a protected nature preserve. It's beautiful, and the more people move in, the more it gets shitted up.
>>719519040Or Europe. Or Indonesia. Or Australia. Notice how every time a community is invaded by new people who won't play ball that we are the ones who are in a wrong for noticing shit going south?
>>719518541>Hold to a standard of gaming by saying no your easy mode run is not valid>WHY ARE YOU GATE KEEPINGLearn the mechanics of the game and play it as the developers intended before you criticize shit.
>>719518541It isn't true at all. Other people joining is a direct threat to the things you like getting changed into something you no longer like.
>>719518541After watching the massive freakout from jurnos and the hr karens who were working on something they never cared about as the big corporations who coddled them had to close or scale down or fire them all I agree
>>719519336op was found hanging from his ceiling fan after reading this post
>>719518541you will never be a woman
Women said men were gatekeeping STEM fields for decades. When they finally get the leg up and join all they do is record tiktoks for their instagram to brag how much they're paid in STEM fields to attend two remote conference meetings and get free breakfast. Now most STEM work is a joke. Same deal for game dev.
>>719518541Gatekeeping is a security measure so yeah no shit it's born of insecurity you dumpy retard
gatekeeping is LITERALLY just asking the bare minimum degree of effort and enthusiasm from people instead of just posturing with surface level understanding of a hobby, and people can't handle even that
>>719518541Making a statement in a way of "this is a fact" meme is insecure too. It's like you need to tell yourself that it's true before you tell anyone. In any case, what I am trying to say is, you are a faggot.
