If gatekeeping works why is the entire site such a shithole?
>>740136274>If gatekeeping worksit doesn't, that's why this site is a shit hole
You can't gatekeep, only the game itself can.
Because contrary to what /v/ believes, the role of gatekeeping belonged to the moderators, and they don't really do their jobs anymore...
>>740136274bottom left should be a woman too
Gatekeeping only works in cliques or in some cases putting up literal gates around villages, communities and cities to determine who can enter or live past the walls. It doesn't fucking work for franchises, IP's or forms of storytelling media. You can't ostracize trannies or faggots for liking The Hobbit or Lovecraft, just hate them for even having the audacity to exist.
>>740136274no its literally the top one, keeping niggers out in general stops the bottom one from even happening. You must vigorously scrub anyone thats a faggot, woman, subhuman, or subversive scum out of your hobby or community or watch it go to shit
This entire site is such a shithole because the gatekeeping is done by jannies who are literal trannies and will ban anybody on a whim if a thread or post makes them drop their dilator.
Clearly it works somewhat because we get so may Loli threads everyday. Obviously to filter the trannies and Indians the Jannies gotta let some gore threads be made.
>>740136450I agree with gatekeeping but you are just a 2016 pol faggot that should be gatekeept'ed from my mongolian basket weaving forms
>>740136274>If gatekeeping worksgatekeeping doesn't workgamergate was lost/v/ lost
>>740136450don't forget /pol/fagsthey ruin everything they touch
>>740136502is that daniel radcliffe
>>740136274Gatekeeping works with a few people at a time.But if alot of people try to come up to the gate and overpower you, there's not alot you can do at that point.
>>740136274it doesn't work. gate keeping can only be done by the thing itself.
>>740136786JK Rowling is there so yeah
>>740136274the internet was flooded with entirely too many normalfags and everything fell apart.
>>740136274Because the creators and community aren't working together. Then we would be a well oiled machine.
>>740136274Because you're being gatekept.
>>740137021Im sure creators are desperate to gatekeep their own art
>>740136502If they rangebanned anywhere east of Turkey and south of the equator this site would improve 1000%.
you can't stop what hobbies other people have by acting like a sassy anime girl diva on the internetthe whole concept is retarded
>>740137072Bull fucking shit. If they cared anything about gatekeeping, we would have perfect franchises that never declined.
Was this site ever good?
>>740137097>tel-aviv notably exempt from the rangebannow that's comedy
>>740136615i've been on this website longer than you have been alive you fucking worthless nigger, anytime i see someone spew "/pol/fag" like you, tranny, and your tranny boyfriend below you, i know your some fucking cancer from reddit that thinks you actually belong here. go out behind your house and blow your fucking brains out.
>>740137164I was being sarcastic dumbo why an artista wanna want to gatekeep their own shit
>>740136502You're also a newfag
>>740136797Machineguns and mines help a lot.
All the NO TRUE GATEKEEPING posts are simply cope, because anonymous has drunk too much koolaid while trying to do the exact opposite of what tumblr addicts want out of nothing but spite. A gate is a physical object and community is a group of connected flesh-and-blood human beings. A fanbase is not a community and enjoyment cannot be gated, it is simply impossible to do, poseurs are just such massive crybabies that they can't handle even digital pushback. It is either >>740136435 or going outside and making friends, because there are few borders on the internet, with all that entails.
4chan and (/v/ in particular) being a shithole has nothing to do with the most dog shit posters on the site not spamming enough gore and anime child porn at people.But the internet as a whole getting infested with astroturfing and botting and the bitter retards that run this site trying and failing at what actual major tech companies with trillions of dollars and petaflops of botting to spam everyone fail to do.Force people to like their terrible dogshit opinions.
>>740136383No, its a brown poltard such as you
>>740137245>poltroon melty
>>740137245moot wanted to be the little girlold 4chan loved trapsyou are a newfag
>>740136274Because gatekeeping is a meme and a cope. You cannot gatekeep a readily available product that anybody can acquire, play and discuss.
>>740137245>i've been on this website longer than you have been aliveI've been here since 2005 :)
>>740137814Gatekeeping is about reputation or making shit unwilling to consider itself a fan.
>>740138372No that's just you convincing yourself that being an unbearable faggot surrounded by unbearable faggots is a positive thing.(it's not, literally every time you're miserable desperately shrieking for someone tolerable to be with you)
>>740137245Nigga is simmering
gatekeeping is retarded childlike behavior anyway>yes i want the games i like to get less exposure thus robbing the devs of sales because i want a super special secret club
>>740138545Actually, YOU'RE convincing me.
Gaming became cool in 2007 and so did 4chan. You can't gatekeep effectively if you're vastly outnumbered
>>740137756>>740137782>>740138273>>740138571a perfect example of why you have to gatekeep. go die at your dead end job normalfaggots.
>>740136274Gatekeeping doesn't work unless you use a gun to do it.
>>740138593if given the options of>game i like remains a niche thing but keeps its identity>game i like becomes popular but is turned into some mass appeal slop that no longer appeals to the original target audiencei am going to choose to keep the game niche.
>>740138889ask the devs which they'd prefer
>>740136274simplest form of gatekeeping is often the most effective: completely withholding any information.They can't ruin something they don't know about
>>740138973if the dev wanted to make mass appeal slop, the dev would've made mass appeal slop.my job as a fan of the game is to not just invite mouth drooling retards like yourself that'll beg the dev to change the game.
>>740136348You can add the most heinous and disgusting shit in the game and all it takes is one e-celeb for the game to go mainstream. Just ask the Blacksoulsfags. Their game has rape, lolis, loli rape, gore and even toddler rape, yet the game is on steam now because of one vtumor. Gatekeeping never works
>>740138973The original devs don't work in the industry anymore and the money you spend on remakes goes straight to the publisher ceo's yacht fund
>>740139114>if the dev wanted to make mass appeal slop, the dev would've made mass appeal slop.so it shouldnt be a problem if the game gets as many eyes on it as it can
>>740136274all the oldfags left, all that's left is shitposters and reddit migration from 2016
>>740139206read the second line to the post.
I get what that image is trying to say, and I do respect it when the bottom is what happens. But you're a delusional fool if you think bottom is the only form of gatekeeping that ever happens.
>>740139239>the devs clearly have a vision and saw it through>but also they will easily compromise said vision to any dumbass with an opinion because uhhhhhhhcan you even give an example of your scenario happening?
>>740136274Remember when one of the makers of dnd5e said that expecting women to know or care about the setting was sexist? This was somehow seen as a positive message instead of being insanely sexist
>>740138593>What do you mean you dont want your local diner to turn into a McDonalds? Dont you want more people yo enjoy it?You are a retarded faggot and should seriously contemplate suicide.
>>740138973These same devs will get an army of people to defend their personal honor when their product flops or bombs. So if they went for the niche route, none of that would've hapened.
>>740139159A lot of that is just coomer appeal whether it's literal rape or women barely wearing clothing, or bishoujo bait with pretty boys. Get rid of the main culprits and it's much harder to sell a game to tourists. Souls games were never supposed to be popular based on that fact but stars sometimes align against all odds
>>740139375nice try, kike.
>>740139404what the fuck are you talking about? your analogy makes no sense, how would a diner gaining more exposure open the floodgates for it to become a copy of mcdonalds? if people wanted mcdonalds they could go to mcdonalds. you guys just have like a baffling misunderstanding of how people think and operate.
>>740139440Is that why most mainstream and normie games have next to no sex appeal or coombait? Get real. This isn't the 2000s anymore. Gatekeeping doesn't work no matter how much you cope
>>740139221How many times do politically motivated retards have to incriminate themselves by whining about orange man bad shit from a decade ago?
>>740139562Every single main character is a woman in all indie and AAA games or otherwise feature women in main roles and that's why all the threads "discussing" modern games is just lust provoking fanart
>>740136274This site is a shit hole but still miles better than literally every other vidya site ever created
>>740136274How are you supposed to "gatekeep" when you have literally no power over the IP?How are you gonna stop the company that holds the IP from accepting Blackrock's money?How are you gonna "vote with your wallet" those casuals you are mean to keep out outnumber you and their money is worth the same as yours?Enlighten me please
>>740139665Except none of those women are appealing to look at. You can cope all you want, but they're all fucking ugly compared to the female characters we got in the 90s and 00s
>>740139608At this point there are more posts about 2016 tourists than there are 2016 tourists. The mood on this board now feels like it's mostly younger people who get their opinions from video essays who didn't even know about 4chan until covid probably
>>740139710No, it's just relatively frictionless to get the same terrible experience.
Fucking based, I just saw a PCGamer article where the little sissy was demanding that the Baldur's Gate 2 remake should have turn-based combat because that's how Larian games work.
>>740139529No you are just a willfully dense faggot who pretends to not understand that widening audience demographics necessitates diminishing the core value proposition to the original audience and thus results in watered down slop.
>>740139806Every woman is sexualized.The difference between back then and now is that people liked games for more reasons than just cooming to the characters. They also actually played the games instead of watching streamers do it
>>740136274Because there are no gates on this site. Any idiot group can wander in and shit up the place.
>>740139963>Every woman is sexualized.No they're fucking not. Stop being such a disingenuous lying faggot. Modern female characters, especially in the lead, are genetically designed in a lab to be as unappealing as possibleNormie and mainstream streamers don't play game with a sexualized female character because their ad revenue takes a deep hit. And they're all in it for the money and fame
>>740139959>widening audience demographicsno one said anything about doing that, you guys keep insisting that this is an inevitable outcome of a game becoming popular when that isn't true.
>>740139159Because the real fans don't police hard enough. Everything would change if even creators joined in instead of just being good little cucks waiting to be worn down for muh advertisers or social reputation.
>>740136274Because this site isn't gatekept at all? It's just twitter shit.
>>740140101AAA games are barely games. If you're talking about the discovery pipeline of things like Black souls then you probably mean indie in which case it's a lack of pattern recognition to not be able to see these things
>>740140191>delivers finishing blow to gaming in you are path
>>740140191Ethicscuckery was a mistake. Should've just went full throttle on attacking.
>>740136274Because it wasn't properly gatekept? Fucking retard.
>>740140191i feel my stomach turn every time i see this picture. this really was the fucking beginning of the endsemi related but im pretty sure that /v/ tan is from that cancelled 4chan beat em up project hate machine. anyone but me remember that being a thing?
>>740140121The days of calling people retards in an online discourse for misunderstanding simple gaming mechanics or not lurking are over. Too many people will soften up or decide that its "not cool." 20 years ago I could call someone new a stupid faggot in WoW chat. Now if I did that a Blizzard GM would ban me for a year while his boss goes to Epstein Island and sells stocks to China.
>>740140235Nigga, stop dodging the fucking topic. You were bitching and moaning that the only reason niche games go mainstream is because of sex appeal, and I pointed out wrong you were. Then you made up some imaginary false fact, which I pointed out how retarded you were. And now you're talking about something completely different. I'm done with you
>>740140121When something gets popular, there's no way to stop creators from appealing a wider audience for more profits or accepting DEI cash. Money is every company's main goal. What are you gonna do? Groom them online to not accept easy money?
>>740140235I'll give you an example actually to follow up here, thecatamites finally sold out and made a heckin wholesome chungus game that bsky would understand. The main character is female. Not sexualized, just female. But that's enough. No one would have cared if it was a non-gay/effeminate male (like his other normal games which no one except chud poser hipsters ever cared about)
>>740136274Gatekeeping only works via violence.
>>740140364I wasn't wrong though. If you take out the women and gays you miss out on massive profits that your game doesn't deserve. Even the talking reddit cube game will have more sales solely because the protagonist is a woman instead of a man
>>740140308I think it's from one of the comics
>>740136274because /v/ culture revolves around trying hard to be funny and offensive, so you cant have any meaningful video game discussion anymore without the topic derailing into jews, trannies, woke, bickering etc. It's like they tried to gatekeep, but made themselves genuinely retarded in the process to the point that almost every other site is a better alternative for real discussion atp
>>740136274You want to gatekeep freaks away;the company wants maximum reach because muh money.You never had the power to gatekeep
>>740136274Every other thread is a twitter repost. Every single thread will get a twitter repost in it no matter how good the discussion is. Let that sink in.
