the only real way you can gatekeep something is to cause the thing you want to be gatekept to be associated with a type of person extremely unpleasant to those you wish to keep out. A very simple way is to make your game/show whatever become known as "that pedo game/show/whatever", since being a pedo is the worst thing you can be in the current day internet. No one is going to want to join a fandom that paints them as a pedo.

Ohh watch out! Someone might make a video about your favorite game! Then as a result someone might post a meme about it to their twitter account! That means if you, you know, go out of your way to go in those circles you'll find annoying stuff that's actually very easy to avoid.

Why do people think gatekeeping is some fringe practice only loser fans do? Companies gatekeep their shit all the time, they just call it "protecting the integrity of the property" or whatever.

If fancy restaurants can gatekeep their clientele to maintain their brand image then why can't vidya

This is what bothers me. I wouldn't mind exposure if people actually played the game instead of posting memes or whatever about games they never played. Smash fans are especially atrocious with ruining any series that gets in Smash with this.

>and spend more money than you

I'm gatekeepmaxxing my game to ensure it appeals to absolutely no one. First, I make all the characters furries; this limits the player pool significantly from the start. Then, I establish that the male protagonist was brutally raped by the male antagonist, filtering out most zoomers and women and leaving only a small portion of furfags who will continue playing in hopes of seeing an explicit rape flashback. When said flashback does happen, I then reveal that the protagonist was actually a woman the whole time, eliminating what remains because nobody hates trannies more than faggots. If anyone is still hanging on after that, the ending of the game will have all the characters turn into humans. In the unlikely someone still hasn't been filtered, revealing that I used AI to make the game should do the trick.

certain games are impossible to talk about here as even when the thread stays ontopic some fag needs to derail the thread by posting cunny oneliners 0.1 seconds after a loli character got posted. i've even seen people say uoh for adult characters or specific fetishes that go against what made the meme work in the first place.

All the "uouh cunny" memes that have gone mainstream on Xitter are regurgitated almost exclusively by SEAnigger BAfags incapable of keeping their mouths shut. Your shitty gacha game isn't some niche, hidden masterpiece, you drooling retard; it's lowest common denominator, entry-level, normalfaggot-tier, "I'm a lolicon too guys, uouh cunny haha!!" Reddit trash. You don't have patrician taste; you shovel shit down your gullet and call it fine dining.

The only way to gatekeep a published idea is to have something you can fork. Gatekeeping of published ideas is impotent when the government incentivizes fucking everything up and punishes you for trying to unfuck it or even preserve it.

you can't gatekeep, all you can do is outshine on niggaz that don't know the lore and the true culture. however, they stick around long enough, they pick it up and suddenly they're one of you. that's what all the magatards did back in 2016 when they migrated here from reddit, for example.

I used to be a translator (JP-EN) for a niche piece of doujin media I liked, but the author noticed the gaijin attention and started pandering to them (like attaching an MTL'd version of their blog). Long story short the author got lowkey flamed by EOPs for some minor mildly political tweet, since then I never translated anything I liked ever again.

And even if you think the games themselves are gonna be shit: A: Devs (or publishers) can make even gatekept games shit, happens all the time. Look at Kerbal Space Program 2. Extremely niche game, completely fucked up beyond repair.
and B: "gatekept" games don't just keep giving you the type of content you like. If a game is too gatekept, it's just fucking dead. Freelancer 2 anyone? No audience, no next game.

I never gatekeep. If you wanna actually talk about a thing, we can chat. If you don't actually know anything, then we'll just run outta shit to talk about. If you're rude, annoying, or abrasive, or if you lie about the material, I won't really want to talk to you. There's no need to put in other effort beyond this. If you feel the need to more actively try to filter people out, then that is basically guaranteed to be you enjoying gatekeeping rather than engaging with the actual material.

Attack on Titan is unironically the great filter to Americans
I don't know how they could telegraph "genocide and imperialism are bad and it's human nature that makes it inevitable" any more blatantly than Sasha's dad and his "in the forest" talk but even that was too subtle for Americans.

Like holy fuck do they not teach basic media literacy to you? You don't even have to like the message, but the fact you didn't see the writing on the walls since Trost makes me feel physically ill that people like you are allowed to make decisions.

Geiru hurts me especially bad because I love clowns, but she's pretty close to the opposite of everything I like about clowns but yet she became the face of "Clussy". A clown should have an infectiously positive attitude and be comfortable in the spotlight. Someone who's always excited to show off their tricks or jokes and puts a lot of effort into practicing them. Geiru hates being a clown so much that she murdered someone over it. Her jokes are two faced, just a way of deflecting from her true feelings and intent. In every way, she's the opposite of what a clown should be.

In my picture, out of all these iconic clowns, there's only 2 I like, and pomni isn't one of them. I've given up on a proper clown ever showing up in gaming.

Its impossible to gatekeep anything in the internet age...if you're a fan. The media has to be capable of gatekeeping itself either because its topics and media is too unconventional or niche for people to understand. I'll use an example of something that has for decades now, managed to somewhat accomplish this...Godzilla. Godzilla is objectively speaking a huge pop-culture icon who everyone knows about superficially. Now ask anyone, 1000 people in a one mile radius if they can describe to you any Godzilla movies, monsters, specific scenes, cartoons, comics, games. They'll describe Godzilla as some goofy monster in corny suits or say they know "the flying one." Nothing about Godzilla is appealing to normalfags, only the fans themselves. Even the big-budget, Monsterverse movies with full CGI and Breaking Bad man or other actors, doesn't rake in that much profit. They make just enough from Godzilla fans, no more, no less.

Point is if you want something gatekept, pray to Christ that its just weird or silly or bizarre enough to deter the average man away.

>Gatekeep non-physical activity with no barrier for entry

About as useful as "voting with your wallet". The only things that 'gatekeep' themselves are things that already have Great Filters™ that make the barrier of entry hard or tedious. The generic multi-million dollar game franchises can not be gatekept and you're a retard for even thinking so because the corporation will just leave a huge door open for them.
