Do you gatekeep your series, /v/?
no because gatekeeping is an impotent gesture that does nothing and makes me feel weak as the tides of fate crash against me relentlessly
>>729365937Why is speedoru doing here?
>>729365937I don't think pointless screeching accomplishes much
>>729365937don't need to, it filters zoomers
>>729365937I only partake in series’ that gatekeep themselves
>tfw your favorite vidyas are so niche they only attract elitists to begin with.
>>729366040He raped ace attorney fans with his shitty cartoon.
>>729365937the 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.
>>729365937The creator does that for me already.>>729366006fag
>>729366138>people think I'm a pedo because of my good taste
>Have a gate.>Keeps retards out.>Can open the gate to let non-tards in.Remember, the only people who complain about gatekeeping, are the people the gate was made to keep out.
>>729366110Thats a bit dramatic. He just turned more people on to clown porn and clussy
>>729366180>t, monogatari fan
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.
>>729366241Which let to Gooseworx making his shitty fetish show
>>729366286This but unironically.>tfw Chibi-Robo is "le ebin YouTuber game" nowShame.
>>729365937Clown pussy.
Everyone in this thread is gatekept from my favorite series :)
>>729365937all gatekeeping tactics eventually fall due to the sheer number of people trying to get in.
>>729366040Ace attorney fans are seething because someone made the character straight instead of following their insane headcanons
>constant discourse on /v/ about gatekeeping being necessary>these same people never gatekeep anythingare you guys just secretly afraid of being too mean to people outside of here? it really doesn't take much to scare these idiots off, you hardly even need to resort to death threats or anything like that
>>729365937>>729366192
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
>>729366368I didn't understand the seethe sseth and mandlore cause until I saw one of my favorite book series get a quinns ideas video. I'm starting to hate review channels that serve as a proxy for actually experiencing media.
>>729366467What headcanons?
>>729366040The ace attorney animation had phoenix's and edgeworth's roles reversed and it was because he literally didnt play any of the games. And the clown tits were just balloons so another strike on that
>>729365937>gatekept>posts 4 mainstream seriesWowie>they're also all singleplayer so a few memes does literally nothing to impact your experience playing/reading themHuh
>>729366508>artist self inserting into womenTroon comic
>>729366138but then you get LRD fags which are even worse
>>729366508
>>729365937>series gatekeeps simply by being long
>>729365937I don't care what retarded niggers think or do
>>729366006>IT DOESN'T WORK CHUD IT DOESN'T WORKSo why does it make you so upset?
>>729366192>Have a gateYou failed from step one. I will invade your hobby and spend more money than you and complain to the creators that all the things you like are problematic and need to be altered to suit my tastes. That's just how it goes.
>>729366528Not sure if gatekeeping is the right word, companies just love their money and hate their fans>Nintendo shutting down AM2R>TPC shutting down Pokemon Prism>Nekonyan buying VN rights and shutting down fan translations
>>729366578>And the clown tits were just balloonsEntirely appropriate, and only a fag would fail to recognise this
>>729366557>I'm starting to hate review channels that serve as a proxy for actually experiencing media.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.
>>729366796>and spend more money than youThat's not true.
>>729365937I'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.
>>729366925Lara Croft has small tits, small lips, and is now dark brown.It very much is true and any other claim is a hard cope.
>>729366594No he doesn't.
>>729365937Yep
>>729365937You can only gatekeep multiplayer games, anything else is impossible to gatekeep.
>>729366594he drew women, the horror
>>729365937>ricardo memes in revengence because it wasn't gatekeptYou don't know your history.

>>729365937i don't play video games for the fanbase.
>>729366006>impotent gestureWhy would you use a term you do not understand, you fucking retarded faggot?
>>729366724>reee why don't you join my personal army!?!
>>729365937Ricardo edits are always funny.
>>729367306>he gestures, impotent
>>729367080>baggers>going 5 minutes without mentioning bapick one
>>729367409We recently gatekept some normie streamers from playing our game. Nobody is as successfull as us, we have a right to mention it every time.
>>729365937No, because nobody gives a shit about the series I like except me.
>>729365937How exactly are you going to gatekeep something when the people behind it are making the gate bigger and bigger to let more people in?
>>729365937>Gatekeeping Attack on Titan one of the most popular normalfagcore series ever
I only play tycoon, RTS and factory sims so they have their own natural gates.
>>729365937The process of getting Sid Meier's Sim Golf running on modern hardware already does the gatekeeping for me.
>>729366040There's a thousand better AA girls, and they're all moggrd by the clown girl because normie artist drew her for a month for clout
>>729365937I don't really see why that's my responsibility
>>729367080>>729367409>>729367493>Look up gameplayGreat job gatekeeping this gacha masterpiece guys, I'm sure normies don't touch it because of you
>>729367860The story and characters are the best part, I like the gameplay alot acctually. Who exactly plays gatchas for the gameplay anyway?
>>729367670>RTSI am still pissed Total War was forever ruined by Warhammer redditors and now every TW game must have hero units with ult attacks and LoL tier gameplay
>>729365937What kind of faggot loser would gatekeep shit like Yakuza, Revengeance or Attack on Titan anyway?
>>729366796Based. The people that actively want to win will always win against the people who just to be left alone.
>>729365937>>729366192lmao You acting as if anyone wants do deal with you shitheads. You're ain't gatekeeping shit, people will just find new places to converse.
I wish Touhou's gates were better defended back then. Now I just don't care about it.
>>729367080You people are the biggest subhumans on the planet.
>>729366475>it really doesn't take much to scare these idiots off,What are you gonna do? Chase off random people you don't like out of twitter? Sounds sad as shit if you think about it?
>>729365937>Gate keeping AOTThat shit was and IS normalfag core. Nothing to gatekeep there.
>>729367493>Nobody is as corporately shilled as usFixed that for you you fucking cunt.
>>729368593Heh, gatekeeping successfull, good luck having as much success as baggers loser. :)
>>729366330What kind of retard fantasy land do you live in where that's trueGooseworx has been making circus crap for years
>>729367306NTA, but that's a perfectly acceptable use of "impotent". It doesn't just mean having erectile dysfunction, if that's what you were getting at.
>>729367493>We recently gatekept some normie streamers from playing our game.>our gameYou sound like a five year old not wanting to share your toys.
>>729366192This is why /mu/ stopped being good btw. The mods got lazy and then the kpop faggots came and it was all downhill from there. Gatekeeping keeps communities healthy. Don't like it? There's the door, find a different community if you won't take the time to educate yourself.
>>729368748Can still play the game while also calling you a loser. Such a wild concept.
>>729368842>communitiesWhose talking about that? These idiots here think they can "gatekeep" japanese games.
>>729368381Sort of how I feel about 4chan as a whole
>>729368792Lmao, you're just jealous you weren't able to gatekeep your beloved game and could only watch as tourists fucked it to death and shat on its corpse, too bad, soo sad cod bro
>>729365937The best series gatekeeps itself by filtering normies right off the bat
I honestly had no problem with the ending of SnK, mostly because I was probably used to complete shit endings from all the manga and anime I consumed. Also haven't seen any better alternative endings, they were completely fucked before it all ever began.That aside: I gatekeep as hard as I can
>>729368842/mu/ is /r/music now, but it was inevitable with how shit music has gotten. Old /mu/ was spoiled with great releases just non-stop coming out, but now you're lucky to get one album worth anything every 3-4 months.
>>729367338Ricardo memes are dated garbage. Aniki is forever.
>>729368924She's so fucking flat
>>729368924I know you don't shower regularly.
>>729368887Agreed. It's objectively become so shit I am apathetic to even discuss it. I can't go anywhere else so I just exist here.
>>729365937Don't need to, they gatekeep themselves just fine.Also inclusion of AOT tell me you never had anything worthwhile to gatekeep in the first place.
>>729365937Gatekeeping is a meme, it can't exist without a gate of sorts, you don't have one over an IPPeople that complain about gatekeeping are dishonest people that use it as a strawman
>>729365937The primarchvengers have already assembled, therefore it’s too late.
>>729368962Rest in pieces Aniki
>>729365937one of my favorite games is dead so its save from mainstream appeal for all eternity
>>729367860you don't understandyou post BA girls in other places so the bad gameplay repels retards away from good games
>>729368748>Gatekeeping from crippling autists>Taking the huge normalfag hordesEnjoy your epic le cunny wholesome uooooooooh! memes
>>729368338>You're ain't gatekeeping shit, people will just find new places to converse.So the gate was successful then?
>>729365937All the best games gatekeep themselves
>>729368936>the bestyou mean the deadest
>>729367306Are you ESL? Nothing wrong with it
>>729369021I shower every daybut one of my fav students stinks good
>>729368962Aniki is eternal. But Aniki would want all our gachi pals to live on. Immortalize all the asses, and many hot loads will come to you for all eternity.
>>729365937>yume nikkisomehow its still obscure enough where you can find the right people to discuss it with like in /v/ and also mainstream but not to a degree where i see mentally ill freaks talk about cutting their dicks off. even on leftie platforms they don't act obnoxious unlike other fanbasesguess this is what happens when the developer stays anonymous, and does not interact with his fanbase so there is no fear of troons or haters actively doxxing him
How do you even gatekeep in this day and age? Just tell someone to fuck off?
>>729365937Well I've never made a series, and gatekeeping other people's creations seems ludicrous to me, so I can't say I've had the reasonable opportunity.
>>729369395Yes, anime, showing skin, attractive characters and the right themes of a story are enough to get undesirables to recoil.
>>729367762Yeah everytime I look up AA 34 I have to filter out the fucking clown girl. Good God.
>>729365937I am an elitest
>>729369319Stop spreading lies
>>729366330How is more clussy ever a bad thing?
>>729369593*Sniff* *Sniff* *Sniff*
>>729367080BA fanbase is famously comprised of mostly shitskin SEAmonkeys and indians, it's not so much active gatekeeping as it is just people being repulsed by browns
>>729368381I'm curious on how you wish it were better defended. I always seen it as difficult or even impossible personally
You can try and keep the riffraff away from the gate all you like, it won't prevent them from setting up a shanty town outside of it.
>>729368748you faggots are why i dread ever making uoh references now. it was fun when it was still subtle and associated with certain characters or tropes, but as soon as everyone went in on the joke it got run into the ground. blue archive is the worst offender of this by farcertain 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.
>>729367493All 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.
>>729367409>>729367860>>729368593>>729369768Faggots can't handle such perfection
I just don't talk about things I like to people I don't like, ez
>>729367014You don't even have to change the game, the best way to gatekeep is to throw your reputation under the bus in the same way that someone would fake their death to ghost their family or something. Nobody is going to play a game made by a nazi lolifur who is into NTR for example.
>>729366006>keeping is an impotent gestureYou're doing it wrong.
>>729369979"Uohhh!! Cunny ToT" is the new "OwO what's dis? Yiff, yiff!"
>>729369979It was funny as fuck back in 2019 when it was still obscure, but of course like most things from this site it dispersed into the surface internet and got picked up by clueless people and laggards who killed it
>>729369359Have you seen the way you speak? You are the normalfag that should be gatekeeped, also, Time Nikki obscure? Lol
>>729369979>>729370112>Thinking "Uooooh ToT" is a normie memeAHAHAHHAHA
>>729366138But then you also attract actual pedos you retard
>>729365937No because I am not a faggot
>>729366138There is cp being posted in the pragmata threads as we speak. You don't want this.
>>729370503The "child porn time" second panel edit is funnier.>>729370630But I've always been here, anon :)
>>729365937You can always stack Gachi into something, gachi is the ultimate normie repellant.
>>729370825TUMMY
>>729370629It literally is you fucking moron. CUNY university got tons of fucking followers on xitter spamming UOOOOOH ToT.
>>729370629It may as well be at this point. Just as every other xitter user says "based" these days.
>>729370117blue archive stopped being good after volume F endednow it's just endless slice of life filler
>>729365937uma musume is like this now, full of retards and westoids repeating the same memes ad infinitum
>>729372318>gachafag thinks he has standardsLOL
>>729372353I don't even play this shitty game, it's predatory shit, I just enjoyed the anime and it's sad to see the overall state of the franchise now. They will now focus everything on the gacha shit
>>729372580Whatever you say gachanigger.
>>729369604>he doesn't know about head drilling fetish
>>729365937Yes but I've never succeeded. Yakuza and Monster Hunter are fucking dogshite now.
>>729365937Explain to me what damage any of those things did to the respective IP other than being mildly annoying for a month or so. Meanwhile the sharty gatekeeping Ongezellig and treating it like "their thing" literally killed the author's interest in it.
>>729373938As a qwayfag I fought against Ongezellig because it was unfunny garbage that had nothing to do with sharty culture but we were outnumbered by nusoiteens
>>729365937Not possible in the age of the internet
wasnt it the series creator that ruined aot, not the fans? he was the one that made that awful ending
>>729373253Oh, the salty gaped tranny is having a lil' melty isn't he?
>>729375362Gacha IS tranime retard.
>>729365937I gatekeep my fetish. Hate tourists.
>>729365937The MGR fanbase were a bunch of memeing faggots from day -1
>be dmcfag since 2001>people stop gatekeeping in 2010>we get DmC 2013>dmc fanbase goes back to gatekeeping>stops gatekeeping in 2023>we get the awful netflix showNEVER STOP GATEKEEPING.
>>729367338nope
>>729365937The 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 only ever take your ball and leave.>>729366138This just invites retards who think they're in good company.
>>729365937Gatekeeping is an immune system. A community without gatekeeping is a body with AIDS.
>>729366508why does everyone get upset then that they are gatekeeping their little door? hmmm
>>729366808>Nintendo shutting down AM2RIn fairness they waited until it was completely released and thus impossible to purge from the Internet. The timing was such that it felt like they were merely doing their due diligence preventing legal precedent without harming the actual project (which was like a decade in the making).
>>729366813No as in the clown's sex appeal was literally fake in the actual game and her tits were balloons stuffed in her shirt but the cartoonist didn't know diddly shit about it and just made it SEXY CLUSSY SO FUNNI
>>729371757Their only good writer decided to backstab the company and get himself blacklisted from the industry in the process
>>729365937only the game creators have a responsibility to gatekeep their games no point for the players to do that if the devs add woke DEI into their games
>>729365937I keep a distance from the "fandom" so I keep distance from any and all communities of things I like so I can't gatekeep
>>729365937>people have opinions and do things I don't agree with>society has fallenDie.
>>729366808>>Nintendo shutting down AM2R>>TPC shutting down Pokemon PrismIn those two cases, they released just around the time of an announcement of a Metroid 2 remake and the Prism Pokemon, respectively.There haven't been THAT many Nintendo takedowns, all things considered.
>>729365937I was expecting the lolis and rape in BS2 would make the game gatekeep itself but I was clearly wrongIt hasn't been the same after people started shilling it on /v/ around 2021
>>729365937Im autistic but not that autistic. What someone says and does on social media or youtube or whatever doesn't affect my vidya gaming experience one bit.
>>729366528That's not gatekeeping, that's just an extortion and protection racket with some vague government backing that won't ever be called into question, because of the legal system being corrupt and bloated.>>729376943Any number of takedowns is too many.
>>729370771>There is cp
>>729365937Yes.
>>729373485???Drilling with your penis is peak, drilling with anything else is weak, but what does that have to do with clussy?
>>729368936>last new game was 12 years agoWhat are you implying?
>>729365937>attack on titan ending
>>729366138But normalfags love persona
>the best rpg ever made was so well gatekept it never got a true sequelmonkeys paw
>>729379268who?
>>729378685I still believe in the schizo theory that it was self sabotaged because Eren was becoming too based.
>>729381240cool it with the anti semitism
It gatekeeps itself aside from Youtube menhera playlists I suppose.
>>729365937The only true way to gatekeep something is if the creators themselves do it by their own will.Players can piss and shit all they want but it means nothing if the devs just decide to say "no".
>>729370630That's basically the entirety of Japan (based) and looks how they are doing
>>729366138>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 outMonogatari anime manages to do this without any effort lmao.>Yes, the show where the 18 year old dude gropes 8yo girls on a daily basis is pure fucking kino, yes I was getting hard during the bath scene in s2 when the blonde loli shakes her ass to the camera, yes it is the magnum opus of the medium.
>>729365937I gatekeep my OCs inside my head.
>>729366138Just tell people (you) like it, that'll keep em away
>>729371292>he doesn't know that CUNY is a joke account (of an actual university)Good one, retard.
>>729365937Actual gatekeeping turns into 00s forums run by power tripping mods who demand everyone talk in ways they like. People come to places like 4chan because there's no gatekeeping at all.
>>729365937The only way to gatekeep is to make your product dogshit if its good then all it takes is one person you don't like enjoying it and deciding to spread word about it to render your gatekeeping moot.
>gatekeeping something you dont ownlol
>>729387059kys
>>729365937how is any of this even remotely a problem?like, who cares, the games are still there
>>729367080I've seen plenty of normalfag tier memes for this game, turns out it's hard to gatekeep something from a "genre" that settles most discource with player/sales numbers.
>>729365937Friendly reminder you are NOT entitled to a game series! Everyone is allowed to like what they like. Let's all agree on this basic fact.
>>729365937you 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.
>>729368381>Tons of people in the Touhou fandom are vehemently against gatekeeping (because they never played a single game and would be included in said gatekeeping)>Melt down and start calling for people to gatekeep a fucking Roblox game about turning into a plushie because some kids found it
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.
>>729387143So all normies are lolicons? I don't remember it being like that.
>>729365937>>729387141And 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.
The aot ending is kino and I'm tired of pretending it's not.
I'm pretty sure any form of gatekeeping is useless now with discord. My old favourite general on /tg/ was completely ruined by discordfags immediately after it was created because discussion was no longer gatekept internally
>>729365937I just saw this on t****erAnd no, you can't gatekeep anything nowadays zoomers will eventually find it and make tiktoks about it
How do you "gatekeep" someone enjoying a product?I don't get it.
>>729366661its not gatekeeping when trails fans literally beg people to play trails at literally every opportunity>>729369542>dude PORN gatekeeps LOLretard
>>729369860Travel to the past and delete all the porn, unironically. The standalone images, the doujins, all of it.
>>729387978>>dude PORN gatekeeps LOLThe opposite is true nowadays I've seen fandoms stay niche because no one is interested in sexualizing the characters
>>729387978Zoomers are afraid of sexualized characters, twitter/tumblr whatever fags start seething the moment a game has beautiful women. It still works
>>729387697>Say there are plenty of normies that like [thing]>guhhhhh so all normies like [thing]????No, do you think all animals are cats?
This happened to me with Stellar Blade I saw it quickly go from>Oh this cool new sci fi action action with a hot chick looks like it has fun gameplay turn into>DUDE THE WOKE ARE SO FUCKING MAD ABOUT THIS GAME BRO HEIL HITLER
>>729365937I 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.

>>729366138>No one is going to want to join a fandom that paints them as a pedoThe way this works is that eventually they'll make a space counter to that, get huge membership quickly because "oh finally a non-pedo space," and then completely wall you out because you're an angry pedo and we have your receipts

Attack on Titan is unironically the great filter to AmericansI 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.

>>729365937I'm trying to but once the official English version comes out sometime next year everything will probably go to shit. It's already in the top 100 followed visual novel on steam without a translation. I don't want to imagine the schizo pot that manifests from the worst of /u/, /vn/ and /drg/ coming together.
What makes you so special that you get to be the one to gatekeep? Why should you be the one who decides who is allowed to enjoy the same hobby as you? Why you, and not anyone else? What makes you think you're so fucking important?
>>729376594>why do people get annoyed by others pointlessly being obnoxious and annoyingOne of life's great mysteries I guess......
>>729389086>look how mad you are hehe xdmaybe if you repeat it enough times it will become true
>>729389169>no one ever said gatekeeping is badyeah real convincing retard
>>729366578So basically it just upset some autistic faggots
>>729389151because i'm objectively more important than you and my opinions are correct. if you can't accept that then you don't get to play.
>>729389259But I do get to play because you can't do shit to stop me. Only the devs can and they want my money too so they wont gatekeep
>>729388845I dont base my view on twitter, zoomers have a visceral reaction to nudity or sexy women. They act like they got slapped in the face
>>729365937gatekeep don't work, those 4 series are popular as fuck from day one, is just a stupid joke or some shit, only reason someone gets angry is because you are an elitist. though the worst example is the AOT which you can't stop someone from reading it and have a godawful opinion.>>729366138yeah and pedos are the worst piece of shit ever, they are furries but with kids>HEY DID YOU KNOW I LIKE KIDS>WHERE IS CUNNY!?!?>WOW WHY I CAN'T FUCK THE LITERAL BABY!?!>IM GOING TO CALL THE 16 YEARS OLD A HAG FOR THE 349762246786789TH TIME!!!

Finally, look at Black Souls, being a pedo game didn't save it from being played a by a vtuber and have a shitload of trannies on X.
>>729365937Geiru 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.
>>729389607dont know what you're talking about but you sound mad as fuck
>>729389712yes
Everyone ITT saying gatekeeping doesn't work only think that because 4chan doesn't gatekeep, and they didn't see what places that do gatekeep look like during the outage.
>>729389259>because i'm objectively more important than youI don't even know who you are.
>>729389607I'm sure people posting about Black Souls fucking everywhere (and then schizoing out about the possibility of it becoming more popular) didn't help.I feel like this pic is one of the least self aware posts out there.
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.
>>729389849the other places didnt gatekeep shitthey are just obscure shitholes with glacial pph while 4chan is active
>>729381240>>729378685Erenfags are just tards who never learned the term "red herring".
>>729365937i'd take a thousand speedoru animations over the current ace attorney "fanbase"
>>729365937I don't need to. It's in a nice spot where it thrives in its home country without any overseas expansion plan, a strong language barrier to repel SEAnigger subhumans and filthy globohomos, and a strong franchise foundation that ensures its longlivedness.
>Gatekeep non-physical activity with no barrier for entryAbout 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.
We should have gatekept Yume 2kki harder.Reminder that this was actually an unlockable wallpaper in the original game before the troons and zoomers took over.
>>729366138Wish I could alter reality and add cunny to Library of Ruina and Limbus Company.
>>729365937not one (1) person started playing ace attorney thanks to clussy.memer attention spans are too short.
>>729390768>devs caved inwhat were (You) supposed to do to prevent it's removal?
I like how MGR memes in 2013 and the ones today are fucking identical, and most of this kvetching is just hipster fagging over in-jokes.
developer is running the series into the ground and the fans are all braindead tranniesi don't engage with the fanbase
>>729365937>still seething over twitter memes years later while they've moved on
Baka mitai isn't even the better meme song. 24 Hour Cinderella is better
If "your" interest was gate crashed by unwanted individuals, either the creators (or new owners) changed something, or it was always normalfag trash waiting to get noticed. You either need better taste or need to concede that the developers you enjoyed have left long ago. Also secondary memes like what OP (faggot) are not an actual problem that do not change the video game and you need to take medication for taking it seriously.
>>729365937I try to routinely safeguard Mass Effect as a franchise where 3 shouldn't have existed and the ending ruined the games Industry, and the franchise doesn't belong to bisexual kink fetishist modders.
People always bitch about not gatekeeping but I've never really seen it done in practice. Even on here in ye olde days "rules 1 and 2" were just lip service.
>>729365937I don't need to:> Kingdom HeartsNomura is a natural filter, even most of the retards went to FF7 Remake instead. > Fire EmblemEngage filtered millions, 3H tards are still living in 2019. > Xenoblade ChroniclesI don't think it will ever need gatekeeping, the lenght of the games already filter most retards. FUBAR series:> Persona> Yakuza> Zelda
>>729365937i miss when gayming and anime used to be niche hobbies...
>>729365937on one hand, im glad pathologic wasnt gatekept because we never wouldve gotten any more games if that was the case as only obscure russians and other europeans played this shit back in the day, but on the other hand i really fucking wish this shit was gatekept
all of my favorite series got fucked in the ass. trannies literally ruin everything even if the series creators hate their guts too
>>729392346>Engage filtered millions,LMAO it's shit.Pure and utter shit.3H brought the series to new highs and Engage killed it.
>>729392515why are you on reddit
>>729366006>no because gatekeeping is an impotent gesture that does nothingIn that case if it does nothing then there's no problem with gatekeeping, and you've destroyed your own argument.
>>729391186'f only
>>729365937Yes Fallout especially Fallout 76None of you want to play it so /v/ is automatically filtered by it
>>729365937I occasionally play games with my notgamer friends just to remind myself why I should push them away
>>729366192this, gatekeeping is the immune system of a fandom. Those against it want everyone to have AIDS
>>729392346> Fire EmblemLmao the only gatekept operated by Fire emblem was before 2004 when virtually no one but japanese people could play those games. If not, Awakening in 2013 has cemented FE as a normalfag franchise, pretending it isn't is like thinking MH nowadays is still a niche franchise for hardcore grinding autists and not AAA normalfag games in the same vein as Ubisoft or Naughty dogs products.3H might have the biggest concentration of trannies out of any Nintendo IP ever, FE threads on here are more cancerous than gacha gens which is an oxymoron because quite like Fate, FE's current franchise IS gacha.
>>729365937Don't need to, it's a near automatic filter
>>729392578i am not. this is one of the images i saw when i googled pathologic bachelor. do you not see that its a google image result?
>>729366661If they were actually good games like the Rance games for instance, I'd play them. It's not the length of the series keeping me from them, but the quality or lack thereof.
>>729392346jesus you have bad taste in games
>>729392262because le epic gatekeeping your hobbies is a meaningless, performative, slacktivist platitude. if moistcritikal or whatever the fuck makes a video about something you like, you, as an individual, cannot do shit against the incoming flood.>>729392567>>729392949>engage le badyou dont like fire emblem
>>729365937The best case for gatekeeping is AI. Not gatekeeping lowers standards and everyone's standards are so below sea level that they'll happily shovel aislopshit into their mouths. If you're wondering why AI shit is so popular it's because absolute mouth breathers were allowed anywhere near technology and weren't told to fuck off from the get go.
>>729393180I've been openly racist towards Indians and Chinks for years, what more do you want from me???
>>729388841>muh media literacyLOL
>>729365937I don't even care what the original point of this post was. I just can't help but state how shit the ending of AoT was. Even by typical jap ending standards.
>>729392594>no problem with an ineffective gestureAre you retarded?
>>729365937/a/ made their entire culture about gatekeeping to the point that it became a board primarily about virtue signalling with how much of an /a/fag you were. You know what happened to them? They created a board culture that pushed out tons of people who wanted to talk about anime, people who could've been meaningful contributors to the board but got shamed for not knowing all the intricacies of the circlejerk. Meanwhile, people without any shame or care for social norms showed up in increasing numbers and gatekeeping didn't do shit to them because they didn't care. And that's how /a/ became /dbs/ and friends and gooner generals. Gatekeeping in the way 4chan envisions it doesn't work and it never will, and infact counter-intuitively makes communities weaker.
>>729393067>you dont like fire emblemI fucking despise modern fire emblem, yes
>>729394153You need to strike a good balance, be open to newcomers but require them to share the core values of the community
>>729394153Don't forget daily chapter spam and seasonal slop general
>>729389914Black Souls becoming popular was just a funny joke that would get even funnier if it became trueIt certainly almost happened, depending on what you consider popularTroons will claim the game is a "hidden gem" of japanese hgames and you should totally play it without the porn enabled (huge mistake)So finding out who is outsider is as simple as asking them what hscene is their favouriteThere is no reality in where pic related will be acceptable to talk about, but somehow the geniuses that call it abhorrent, say the game is a masterpiece in storytelling
>>729365937>>729366006>>729366192See >>729394153Gatekeeping “keep retards out, let non tards in” is literally not how it works, you literally can’t do that unless you run a private community of like 10 people. If you try to gatekeep something bigger you just indirectly drive away actually intelligent people and attract rude retards who don’t care about social rules or your opinion of them, or people who only want to be a fan to gatekeep who are more interested in gatekeeping than actually engaging in the media they allegedly care about
>>729392701You literally cannot name a single time gatekeeping successfully has prevented your picrel. You can literally just walk around the gate or find someone who will open the gate for you.

>gatekeeping doesn't workIt does>b b b but it's le badThe only people crying about gatekeeping are the ones the gate is supposed to keep out.Every hobby that didn't gatekeep is being ruined.Gaming. Card gamesDungeons and dragonsAnime and manga
>>729392641Based. I’m glad /v/ doesn’t play 76. Posting and keeping a 76 thread up is impossible so the community is just so much nicer as a result, lots of Japanese 76 fans are around too because of how pleasant it is.
>>729394153I make sure to visit /a/ssholes a few time a year to tell them how much I like dragon ball super and naruto and hate whatever the current fotm is.
>>729394859>>gatekeeping doesn't work>It doesExamples doko?>inb4 developers telling faggots to fuck offNot the same and you know it
>>729367080I don't care how much other anons seethe. I see BA as a community that successfully gatekeeps. After so many years they're still focused on cunny and there's no pandering to progressive shit anywhere near their game iirc. They also follow pic related.
The conversation all would-be gatekeepers do not want to have is that you literally cannot gatekeep a hobby.
>>729365937>gatekeeping>consumption hobby where all you need to do to participate is to buy, if even that.Where's the gate, anon?
All the discussion of "Is gatekeeping good or is gatekeeping bad" distracts from the more important discussion of what types of gatekeeping are effective vs which aren't. Relentlessly mocking anyone who suggests things should be changed to be less weird is obviously good. Pressuring people to pass arbitrary knowledge checks to participate in discussion is awful because it repels people who are interested in learning.
>>729366192Anything that becomes mainstream was never meant to gatekeep in the first place. It's counter-productive to trying to obtain the largest widespread audience possible.The only "gatekeeping" is in niche hobbies, which is the entire point. Niche properites are meant to appeal to a specific, dedicated fanbase.
>>729394153By the admission of /a/ itself they don't even gatekeep, they just mass report anything not fitting into their current FOTM or what personally offends them. They are spiritually and existentially speaking, redditors.
>>729394859No it doesn’t. Name 5 examples of it working and no bullshit “successes” like >>729394153 mentions>>729394859>The only people crying about gatekeeping are the ones the gate is supposed to keep out.Every “gatekept” community just gets circumvented by them creating their own place that ends up being higher quality since it nobody has to be afraid of being run up on.>Every hobby that didn't gatekeep is being ruined.>Gaming.This is corporations fault, not gamers >Card gamesCorporations fault, not gamers>Dungeons and dragonsAlternative TTRPGs are still fine and were never gatekept. DnD was always overrated and frankly still has people just as weird and autistic>Anime and mangaOnly the absolute most mainstream surface slop and only then, dubs
>>729395116well every time newfags ask about the game I tell them to fuck off and call them names. surely that counts
Well, I couldn't gatekeep Monolith from ruining Xenoblade, so no.
>>729366594his avatar is a tentacle monster
>>729394153Don't forget that any place obsessed with gatekeeping and shunning outsiders is really fucking easy to troll.
>>729395054Truth nuke
>>729395054so there's nothing to complain about then
>>729395334The only ones complaining are the "gatekeepers" bitching about failing to gatekeep
>>729365937I try to, but it didn't work for fucking Black Souls, which has loli rape. Normalfags will worm their way into anything, it seems.
What exactly am I supposed to do? I try and get people into actually playing the damn games, but it just goes in one ear and out the other and they continue to whine about how the series is dead and should have a new game, or complain that no, it shouldn't have a new game because they would ruin it, or just draw and retweet the waifus, or lap up the cameo and crossover appearances, or even getting angry and offended and start throwing out knee-jerk responses about how no one gives a shit about the games. All while refusing to even so much as touch the games themselves.
>>729365937Revengeance and Ace Attorney are enriched by their fanbase. AoT and Yakuza were ruined by their creators. Get better examples.
>>729366110autistic contrarian faggot>>729366578autistic contrarian faggot
>>729395297Holy shit this. Look at how easy it is to troll Fallout fans by just saying “Bethesda is good” or “Fallout 3 good” even if you never played them, infinite (You) machine and thread limitLook how easy it is to troll anons like in this thread or RPG Codex or “Warhammer is for men ONLY” anons. They get so upset and it functionally does nothing to actually keep a gate. Jumping up and down and pounding your feet and hurling insults just makes the other person feel more satisfaction to just walk around your ‘gate’
>>729388328I think the more unsettling is people saying it's their game of the year. The game looks fine, but saying it's better than Wukong, Rebirth, Metaphor UFO50, Helldivers II, or even Balatro. And that's just the more notable shit that released last year.
>>729365937You will never win that battle. Enjoy the thing and move on. Nothing lasts forever in this world.
>>729395557>Act like a retard>Get treated like a retardMakes sense to me.
>>729387978>fans have to beg others to play their series >people look at the 13, 70+ hour jrpgs they have to sit through in order to catch up >they say nah fuck that>this somehow isn't the series gatekeeping itself
>>729365937I've tried, unfortunately the slobbering masses are the overwhelming 99% majority, and no matter what you say or do they'll continue to lap up whatever recycled remakes and downgraded-for-casuals content that these companies put out. The only thing that matters is appeasing shareholders and investors, because the 5th generation of consoles did completely irreversible and irreparable harm to the expectations of big companies and their major investors.The time of voting with your wallet has died, as well as shouting something down if you don't like it. If something dies its not because we shouted at the titanic until it sunk, it was because it was generally unappealing.
>>729395645Yet it doesn’t prevent people from coming in and acting like a retard. And the more you engage a retard the more you validate them. Were they actually gatekept or just validated? Gatekeeping attracts people who don’t care enough about social rules to even BE gatekept, that’s the fucking point
>>729395680thats right fag the series gatekeeps itself (by being shit)the fans dont do anything. in fact the fans trying to open the gate doesn't do anything either showing how little their actions matternow tell me how do you gatekeep?
>>729366006This anon is correct and the other replies are all pure cope. See the rest of this thread and how nobody can provide an actual example of gatekeeping working on an entire hobby
>>729394320>and seasonal slop*Gasp* The anime board talks about new anime?!?!?!?!?
>>729395897Yeah. Actual gatekeeping can only be done by forum moderators and actual creators. Shouting at someone isn't gatekeeping.
>>729395923They actually don't. 1 fag posts every frame of the newest episode, the others discuss what already happened in the manga and the thread dies before bump limit because idiots made 7 of them
>>729395180The problem is that YOU don't prevent the company that makes the product you think needs gatekeeping from trying to target for larger appeal. And that's especially true once that attempt at broader appeal actually takes off, do you just stop liking your shit, or pretend you can keep millions of others enjoying your hobby.
>>729365937Gatekeeping is impossible thanks to SocMed. The only method to protect anything is to just shut the fuck up about it. But Millennials Zoomers and beyond can't help themselves. Gotta get that clout or view or like.
>>729395000>and there's no pandering to progressive shit anywhere near their game iircOr maybe it's because the developers are Koreans who can't even speak english properly and not because HitlerCunny1488 (Location Philippines) told Lilith(She/Her) to kill himself on Twitter while both of them masturbate
>>729365937In all these examples there was nothing the fanbases could have done to prevent it from going viral, you don't have agency over that.
>>729366721>Lore enjoyersExcept they'll fuck that up too.
>>729396336Yakuza 0 100% did not try to go viral, all Sega of America did was go "okay this is the last shot of the franchise so let's actually market it for the first time since 2008"
>>729368842same thing happened to /tg/ now it's all critical role faggotry.
>>729396489so what were you supposed to do? not watch the meme videos on tiktok? because I didn't and nothing changed>>729396420lol
>tfw all my favorite media is perverted edgy crap no one but me cares aboutThat iceberg meme a couple years back was dangerous because of all the tourists wanting to see le heckin deepest stuff it attracted but it's mostly gone away thankfully
>>729366006Gatekeeping works but corpos move quickly to tip the scales and it's a lot easier for them. You can look to examples like WoW where they had to remove emotes after having them for 10+ years with no issues when people started spamming /spit and /rude at the paypig mounts and the pigs stopped using them out of shame.
>>729396489None of the series were trying to go viral, it's decided by pure chance essentially
>>729396609>LolAm I wrong?
>>729396696I really don't get why Yakuza 0 of all games did it, I guess because it was wrongfully sold as "a good entry point" when in reality it is supposed to be played right after 5 and the callbacks are all fan service?
>>729392701this image is always funny, do dudebros seriously start playing yu-gi-oh to fuck bitches?
>>729396735Well nobody mentioned lore so kina
>>729395803The fuck are you on about, the guy just jokingly used the phrase "the series gatekeeps itself" to say that it's daunting to newcomers. Yes, a gate can't actually keep itself just like this case doesn't actually count as gatekeeping. He was saying that getting into the series is so unappealing that the gate might as well be keeping itself.
no, because it's gay and retarded>nooo stop don't enjoy this ayeeeeeeeeeee
>>729366721
>>729394794if you don't know what any of those words mean you've been successfully gatekept and raped
>if you screech at people on the internet they'll stop playing a video gameThis is what spergs on /v/ actually believe. People here are so impotent and powerless that they'll delude themselves into thinking that calling someone a fag on the internet will physically force them to stop doing things that they don't like in real life.
>>729396814>The fuck are you on aboutThe fact that the fanbase can't do anything about the gate. They can't keep it up and they can't tear it down because it's not up to them
>>729396047>the others discuss what already happened in the mangaYes? That's what an anime is, an adoption of the manga, what else did you expected?
>Dev gatekeeps game by making the plot, themes, and or events super dark and fucked up (Black Souls, Funger, loli porn games, etc)>Tranys and undesirables latch onto it anyways because they secretly all like that stuff.>They make safe space discord where you can talk about loving child porn or whatever but don't you ever ever ever say nigger or troon or misgender me.Literally every single time without fail this happens
>>729396971Being a screeching retard online only works if it's an MP game and you can ruin another person's experience with that game, but yeah, pretending an internet interaction that doesn't have your real name attached to it. Granted current social media has changed how people want to interact through the internet.
Has someone actually explained how do you gatekeep a hobby
>>729365937>caring about single player game communities >interacting with ANY community online Couldn't be me
>>729392867except for X the entire rance series is shorter than 2.5 trails long
>>729397168Talking about the episode instead of the current plotline 400 chapters from the future?
Gatekeeping is perfectly possible for IPs not already designed for hyper generalized audiences, start small and escalate if necessary, overt reactionary responses only serve to draw unwanted attention and therefore normification Berate and bully those that are only superficially discussing and participating in the IPMake your own spaces that regularly talk about the games you like with only high quality discussions allowed, delete and ban those attempting to subvertDevs attempting to over market, broaden and go beyond the original design or artistic vision? They all have names and addresses and their families tooNeed some extra leverage? Mass scale reports to all storefronts to affect their revenue streamTLDR stop being so inefficient with your gatekeeping
>>729397212You go on the internet and call them a mean name, after which they will have no choice but to drop everything they doing and obey your every command.
If I'm going to talk about my interests with a "community", it's only going to be on 4chan. What I say here are merely thoughts on a screen with no identity. You have to actively do shit in order to have an identity here, like being a namefag or just an outright schizo. Communities where identities are encouraged are something I have no interest in, because it devolves into "This person is based/wrong for so and so" which I find reductive. I also hate all the fake niceties these mainstream online communities push. People should have every right to call me a retard if they don't agree with me and vice versa.
>>729396971Weird that devs and moderators feel the need to intervene constantly if being obnoxious to people until they leave doesnt work. I guess the report systems across literally all MP games are cosmetic.
