THE FACT THAT IT JUST CUT OFF AFTER HE SAID “i have never met a woman” WAS HILARIOUS LMAOOO
Made me audibly laugh
heee
The fact that it sounds like he just randomly blurted that out lmao
It sounds like robin accidentally stopped his recording
I paused the video at this moment to say exactly this. Editor have made a nice joke
Gatekeeping is great in D&D!
Sphinxes, puzzle doors, magic artifact rooms, troll bridges, drawbridges to castles, a lot of things need some kind of gatekeeper.
Love me some puzzles while fighting zombies
don't forget active dungeons holding prisoners, they need gatekeepers too!
The bridge to the Holy Grail needs a really unique gatekeeper.
Damn n(geeks)erds
Not a fan of puzzles and riddles but every good castle needs a guard at the gate for me to flirt with while my party sneaks by.
Gatekeeping is a HUGE problem in DND, especially for new players. I’ve been playing since I was 10, and I’m in the dnd club at my high school where most people have never played before or even read the books. I am 1 of 2 DMs who run separate campaigns on alternating weeks- Other DM is super new. (she’s borrowing my DMs guide to learn the basics) She allows homebrew, improvs a lot, and is open to pretty much anything- he campaign is set in hell, and is run kinda like a game show. It’s super fun! I’m the complete opposite- I prefer to stick to things in the official books, I’m VERY lore invested with characters and world, I take tones of notes. Both campaigns are fun as hell!
I've been playing D&D since I was around 15. I'm in my 40s so that means AD&D what with thac0 and all that. I ran 3 and 3.5 games and have played in one single 5e game since. 5e is a little odd to me but it works just as well as 3 did (Never played 4e)
When Baldur's Gate 3 was released earlier this year, I noticed the people like me who grew up with 1 and 2 as their favorite games in highschool fell into two groups. The people playing the gatekeeper grumpypants game who are definitely wrong. And there's people like me who are super happy to see new people into BG3 and maybe looking into D&D and hope they have lots of fun do you have any questions about mechanics or websites I got dice rollers online here and these sites sell really good dice if you want to play tabletop...you get the idea.
Gatekeeping a hobby will eventually kill the hobby. We NEED new people and new ideas to keep it alive and interesting. I hope your other DM doesn't let those losers deter her from continuing to DM. D&D is a wonderful social activity.
I think there's a balance. Hardcore gatekeeping is unhealthy, but so is uncontrolled growth. People coming into an established community because the thing is trendy right now, and demanding the thing or the community change to fit their preferences destroys communities.
@@Candlemancer You sound like the guys that actually DO the gatekeeping. Trendy. whatever. "I liked it before it was cool." Oh grow up.
It's very hard to have any community destroyed by new people into D&D as they can run their own campaigns. And the insinuation that doing so would ruin D&D is something only a cowardly person who has to gatekeep their sacred hobby from all perceived threats would try to make anyways. my god you're probably one of those whiny little brats upset about pronoun choice in video games. ugh.
I vote to make "Trauma-Keeping" a real term!
How would it be used though
Trama keeping isnt gate kepping smh (is joke)
speaking of trauma-keeping, pork roll or taylor ham??
Ok but what even is that supposed to be
@@mrbarrel662true smh my head (sarcasm)
1:22 this mentality really sucks, for any religion too. I’m pagan and my fiancé is catholic. We have a mutual respect for each others faiths. I have an alter in our room for my worship and he has his bible and catholic stuff. I buy him cross necklaces I think look cool and he buys me crystals. It’s about having mutual respect for something you don’t participate in. If your partner does that for you, that is true love
Was looking for this comment! As a Pagan who has never dated another Pagan, I totally agree. It's actually really wholesome to be able to ask someone you love who is Catholic to teach you what all of the different saints are, just like people I've previously dated have asked me about "what the different crystals do" and about my Tarot decks.
Although I do understand not wanting to date someone with extremely different values, for me, that feeling comes from knowing some people could be extremely incompatible- for example a very religious person and a very atheist person with religious trauma.
In any other case, for the most part, having differences to your partner, and learning more about their beliefs and values as a sign of love, can really enrich a relationship.
That's so frickin cute! I'm happy for you!
Imagine actually letting people be whatever belief they want and not trying to tell others how to live their lives. Wild.
That's actually super cute. Mutual respect is key.
As a Catholic,yay
i love how it cut off when he said “i have never met a woman”
As a gamer myself, the guy at 18:54 is just straight up insane. Gaming is about having fun, if you consider yourself a gamer, you pretty much are one.
I know. And this man is calling Mario and Pokémon, two of the biggest video game franchises i the world, not real games.
The dictionary definition of a video game is:
"a game played by electronically manipulating images produced by a computer program on a monitor or other display"
So anyone who plays a game can call themselves a gamer. Even someone who only plays Facebook games.
This post was also featured in r/murderedbywords. I saw it in one of rslash's videos. The reply to it is so immensely satisfying.
What was the reply
18:34 i like to play pokemon with a ps5 controller 😂
18:49 all of the REAL GAMERS don't care what you play, however you play or on what you play. Have fun that's all it matters.
Pretty sure that dude lives a sad and sour life, and hates others have fun with things he sucks at.
people like him are why I don’t consider myself a gamer even though by definition I am one, the stereotypes are not something I want to be associated with
They're what Steph Sterling call Gamers TM.
@@lightfurya2087 see I've been combating the stereotype the opposite way (as technically a gamer girl) by 1 accepting that I'm a cringe goofball like many of the cringefolk just tryna live their best life and 2 strongly identify as a gamer / gamer girl while openly accepting all gamers as valid.. that way no one will think I take myself as seriously as those gatekeepers but ppl will still feel comfy enough to make references or talk about games w me if they want. AND imo combating it this way, if more ppl did it then it'd become easier for innocent gamers looking for friends to weed out the bad ones, cos it'll be obvious who's welcoming of noobs + cringefolk and who has equipped the polearm Unreasonable Expectations (weapon slot is in their butt for the gatekeeper class)
I've seen this post on r/murderedbywords because after it got reposted to this and r/copypasta they cut off the most savage wall of "fite me bro" I'm gonna see if I can't find it brb
hello kitty is trending, and she deserves to be appreciated like she was in 2012.
but ill never forget standing in line at hot topic early this year (i am emo, i dress like i walked out of 2016), when a girl buying hello kitty stuff was laughing at me with her friends. in my face. 1 im emo in hot topic?? 2 thats not very hello kitty of you. her whole purpose is the importance of kindness :(
we dress like we did when we were happy no matter the age, no one should be ashamed of dressing as their comfortable happy self. even if you were the ultra angsty uber depresso espresso stereotype at one point, there was something about the lifestyle that was positive for you. for anyone to pass harsh judgement simply for a form of expression they're not used to, it shows they can't understand significance of the ties between us and what we like same as they don't get why they like what they do.. cos ppl like that don't give second thoughts or consideration for free, many don't even think there could be something more to life than what they already know. just staying in their tiny bubble houses and thinking every alternative pedestrian on the outside merely passing by has gone the wrong way. cos it don't lead to the most important part of life in their eyes: themself. at the end of the day, it's pure ego fueled ignorance and you have some options.. pity them and be optimistic that they'll learn, don't pity them and cathartically let out your rage (legally), or the magical third option is to let yourself be indifferent living your best life regardless of what a random's gotta say about something literally innocuous as some clothes n hair. usually I'm the villain version of option 1, genuinely hoping they learn to be better people so that they cringe hard and often at their past ignorance when they go to sleep. one can maliciously hope. but also if I'd been in your situation, I probably would've just stared her down until she was the first to look away.
I was nine in 1974, and my fashions were gone by 1978. So I still dress like its 1974. Fek the haters. @@kiraoshiro6157
Making fun of someone for being goth or emo in hot topic is like making fun of a kid in a toy store or a sweaty person in a gym.
I am emo and also dress it but I absolutely love hello kitty those ppl were prob jealous that u looked amazing
Hello Kitty has always been popular. It's the number two highest grossing media franchise behind Pokemon at $80B
28:06 "Gaslighting isn't real, you're just delusional."

Now THATS gaslighting, lol
I remember gatekeeping on things that I was interested in only bc I was super insecure about a lot and wanted to feel special
I have a feeling that’s most gatekeeper’s mentality tbh
@@naiba8948 I do too, that's why I brought it up.
I really hope that tattoo text was photo shopped because I don't think anybody in their right mind would get something so purposeless tattooed onto themselves. You'd have to stop and spend at least 3 minutes just to be able to read that

I agree with gatekeeping sometimes. And by sometimes I mean gatekeeping literally everything from bigots and predators 😌
Like gatekeeping lgbt from maps, eugh
@@MisterIncogI'd personally say that you had your wording backwards, but I agree with what you are meaning to say.
@@AmEv7fam yeah, you’re right. Not my first language. What I meant is keeping lgbt spaces safe from maps is an example of gatekeeping being a good thing.
I understand the terminology, but I myself refuse to call them "maps". They're pedos.
I agree with it if you're stopping someone from changing something just because it doesnt suit their personal tastes, the Elden ring is too hard situation comes to mind with the bunch of people complaining about how there should be an easier difficulty, and quantum tv having an insane, racist meltdown because well, because people gatekept him. my point being a loud minority of people shouldn't get to change what people love about something because it inconvenienced or frustrated them, or because they think its a good idea and the actual whole ass community besides those few people don't.
gatekeeping for stupid shit like who plays on what console, or how people consume their soup, or how they work out, that I get being dumb.

Dear "real" gamer
gaming is more diverse than just pc games and console games

why is nobody talking about him saying Mario isn't a real game
I have over 5000 hours of gameplay total on my Switch but apparently I'm not a real gamer.

Can't stand Gamers TM. People who have substituted playing videogames a lot for having a personality and cry like little babies when something they don't like happens in a game.
Those are just the loud ones @@Craxin01. A lot of people are usually fine (and hopefully the ones you're talking about can grow out of it)
17:27 This is my FAVORITE rant ever oh my god, as soon as I realized what Robin was narrating I lost my shit. There's a fantastic dramatic reading of this out there where a guy gets really into his lines, complete with dramatic music and crazed laughter and it's my favorite fucking video on the internet. I have this whole rant committed to memory and can recite it on the fly. Oh my god I love this.
The whole "real emo only consists of" thing is a copypasta that as far as i know is making fun of gatekeepers, cant say anything about whether or not the photo is fake tho
I got into D&D with (I think it was) 3.5ed, and while I loved the RP and noncombat side of it, the combat side of it felt a little unnecessarily complicated - at least compared to 5ed, which I've been playing consistently since it came out.
Ain't nothing wrong with a game being casual player friendly. I'm pretty sure that's why 5ed is fairly popular, and why some hardcore D&D fans don't like it ("they're pandering to the casuals" or something like that). I'm also pretty sure that's why Baldur's Gate 3 is so popular - it's actually really casual friendly (doesn't go too intense on the actual D&D mechanics, and even on the highest difficulties it's a lot easier than many other tactics-style games I've played in the past). Not every video game has to have soulslike difficulty, and not every tabletop game requires 8 hours of weekly reading to be worthwhile.
I'm one of the people who prefers the crunchier older editions (5e feels....bland to me. Every build just seems too similar).
But you know what? I can just play the edition I like. Everyone should. So why would I shit on other people enjoying a franchise I want to see succeed?
the only gripe i have with 5e is that traps only work with an antimagic field or else your party will just levitate or water breathe out of there.

@@AIHumanEquality idk but I know they had those sick ass nail guards like they do in my historical c-dramas

@@ay-dionne Thanks I wasn't completely certain but as a historian I vaguely remembered reading somewhere that old Chinese culture was big into beauty products.

I was wondering is someone else noticed that 😂
Hey hey now doggos protecting their homes are an example of good gatekeepers. The best kind of gatekeeping. XD
Robin, that’s an English word. It’s pronounced “man-uh-culled.” “To manacle” means to bind someone with manacles (those chains with an iron wrist lock at the end). Also, I believe “dramione” is a fic pairing involving Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger.
18:41 “Stardew Valley is not a real game” I’ve been throwing myself into Stardew recently, the amount of planning you need to do for a day or week is impressive, look at the people with mega farms that have perfectly figured out each tile of space and have it running at peak performance.
Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the type of person to post things about how they can’t get a gamer GF and then go on a incel rant right after.
I can vouch on that because yes. Even just growing some squares of crops takes a lot of planning from tilling out the area for what you want to grow, how many seed packets to plant in that area, how much gold is needed to buy whatever amount seeds you plan to grow(especially if the crop isn't a multi-harvest crop), even figuring out where to place sprinklers once you get ahold of those. I'm not an expert in the game, but I gotta give it to people who really got some impressive farms going.
I don't like Stardew Valley. It has pretty bad graphics and there's many better farm life sim games(Rune Factory being my favorite one). So to anyone who likes Stardew Valley all I can say is...
You do you. Like what games you wanna like. Not every game is gonna be for everyone that's just how it be.
Yeah, my first thought when I saw that was "You try getting to floor 100 of the skull caverns and see if you still think it's not a real game!"
Bad graphics💀@@AIHumanEquality
@@kuronya3582 They are low quality pixel graphics. That's not a debatable thing.

So true bestie
The best part of working through my issues is i can argue now and OH BOY it is so fun to shut down the people who say shit like "only traumatic thing" with a quick their trauma is valid and thsts coming fom someone who was *stabed by their abuser*. It really puts a rench in their ass to hear what they are doing is wrong from someone like me because i they want to go trauma for trauma i will win just to shut them down when it comes to who has more right to the word traumatized
1:56 "I have yet to meet a woman" LMAOO
For me, soup is indeed a beverage
My grandpa had a Menudo soup restaurant, and he used to pour the broth on a cup and casually drink it
And, since my grandpa soup was sooo delicious, I started doing that as well and still do when I'm at my mother's restaurant
So whoever wrote that, is missing a lot lmao
In Spain, especially the capital Madrid, there's a typical dish named 'cocido madrileño', which is basically broth with cabbage, chickpeas, and a whole lot of meat in it. Restaurants will serve it in a specific way: as the starter, a deep dish with just the broth, and then as the main dish, the meat, cabbage and other 'solids' without any broth.
I don't care that I'm in a restaurant, I'm drinking that broth right out of the plate. What's the point of scooping that up with a spoon?
Agreed I could make the argument if it was something super chunky like stew but yeah many soups count as a beve I mean freaking hell cambells even sells microwave cups of soup designed to be drunk like you would coffee
Pagan is anyone who has a belief that isn't part of the biggest 8 or 9 organized religions in the world. It's a pretty vague term so trying to gatekeep it is pretty funny. And also as a Norse pagan myself he can stfu about telling people who they can or can't marry. My viking ancestors married around the world.
1:40 Dudes trying to gate keep nerve damage.
That guy being like "world is not for people afraid of physical pain", is pretty... eh, not smart. Because pain is necessary to like, every mammal's survival. It's what keeps up from doing things that harm our bodies. We stay away from jumping off a 10 meter rock, because our brain is wired to know it can break something in our body. To protect us. Sigh.
10:05 @Robin hey parent here, I'll translate. This actually isn't gatekeeping, they just don't know how to express what they mean properly.
Take someone or something you love dearly, and imagine losing them in any way. It hurts, a lot.
When it comes to life in general, everyone knows that anything can kill you at all anywhere. A fucking spoon from left field can end your life. Shit sucks.
Now remember that imagined feeling of losing someone you love dearly, and turn it up x10. Add in the fact that you feel ultimately responsible for everything that comes from that person, and thus responsible for their death, and then bundle it up with the fact that anything and everything around you can kill you, therefore, to protect that person, you must be responsible for everything around you to protect that person you would literally die or murder for.
That is what this post means by "scary."
However, this feeling is not exclusive to parents, and everyone ever has felt it some sort of way. But I personally believe (biased because parent) That parents experience that feeling in a more unique, or more accurately, front-of-the-mind even when you sleep kind of way. Maybe the responsibility part is turned up pretty heavy compared to others, idk.
Hope that helps you understand what that parent meant :)
I remember my first pc case. The glass was bigger then the entire case

REAL
I CRIED WHEN THE EDITOR MISSED A CUSS WORD.
I WAS FULLY EXPECTING ANOTHER QUACK SOUND EFFECT.
No. You ARE a real gamer.
I'm so sick of all these people who think they're gatekeepers. Congrats, you are. Most of you are very close to being gatekeepers. I see people saying "I put well over 100 hours into this game, it's great!" that's a lot, most of us respect that amount of time and effort. I see people who only have a switch and call themselves gamers (They are right). Come talk to me when you pick up a PS4 controller then I gatekeep you over the dumbest sh*t.
Also DEAR ALL GAMERS: Pokemon is the highest grossing video game franchise in the world. The second-most sold game on the switch is animal crossing. The sims is wildly popular on playstation. Mario is one of the most popular series in the world. Stardew valley is a great laid back game. Mobile games are SOME OF THE MOST ACCESSIBLE. Put down the "bAbY GaMEs" and talk to people who aren't pieces of sh*t.
Sincerely, all of the ACTUAL gamers (who don't gatekeep).
AGREED.
Also want to add DEAR ALL GAMERS: gender has nothing to do with the games you like. Like what you want.
That last bit especially annoyed me as a woman who doesn’t like most of those games. And who has guy friends who do like them. The only one on that list which I play is Pokémon, and that’s largely because a lot of my friends play it, so I get drawn in for a while when there’s a new gen. (Or when they do something new with eevee because eevee is the best). The rest of that list isn’t my thing and it always annoys me when people assume women only play certain games.
I thought the pick up a PS4 controller like only PlayStation owners are gamers. A LOT of the Gamer TM crown would laugh this guy out for not owning a $10k gaming PC, 'cause glorious PC master race.
Technically all pain is mental pain. I mean we’re all bone mechs in skin suits for our brains.
If I could turn off my period camps through will power I'd have done that a long time ago
Some random day in the early 2010s, I went up to a food truck to order something. The guy in the truck sees my hoodie with my favorite hockey team and says to me “oh you’re a Bruins fan, huh? Who’s your favorite player? Tyler Seguin cuz he’s cuuuuuute? Hahaha! Do you even know that much about hockey?” He said all this in a tone like I was a silly little girl who didn’t have the “right” to wear anything sports related.
I then proceeded to name every player on every line, which one I liked for each position, the stats the team had at the moment, and followed up with “I was named after the daughter of a former Bruin. I played hockey and spent most of my childhood in a rink between my brother and my games. I’ve been watching hockey since before I can remember. Just because I’m a girl (I was 19 at the time) doesn’t mean I’m an idiot. Go gatekeep something else.”
Dude sputtered an apology before asking what I wanted to eat. I told him I lost my appetite and walked away.
"You don't fully understand how scary the world is until you're raising children." Shit, if I don't have children and I already have PTSD from something a doctor did to me, how in the world am I gonna manage if I were to have kids? That's all the more reason for me to not have any! LOL
14:21 If any in the comments are confused by the last word, “inshallah” in an Arabic word that means “As God wills/if God permits” It’s the linguistic ancestor of the Spanish “ojalá.”
11:35 I'm torn three ways about this because it is absolutely gatekeeping. But I feel like you need even more openness stated.
1. You are goth if you like the culture and the music.
2. You are goth even if you have a horrible family who prevents you from having make up or leaving the house in all black.
3. You are goth even if you can't afford the look you want but do the best you can.
Hot topic is well out of my price range and likewise, so is couture goth clothing. Both can be goth if a goth wears them.
Goth is who you are. Not what you wear.
I have a pre-built PC, and I know a lot about computers (I work in the IT industry), but I just couldn't be bothered to order all the parts, wait for them all to arrive, then assemble it and hope I didn't mess it up and have to redo parts of the process. There is nothing bad with wanting to not have to deal with all that.

My dad loves learning about food from around the world, so whenever he happens to talk to someone who says they’re from a country that my dad had learned about, he’d be like “Oh, I heard *whatever food* is real popular there! I read it can be used with Ingredient A or Ingredient B. Which way did your family like making it when you were growing up?”
Seriously, learning about different foods is awesome!!!!!!!!
I like how the poster specifically mentions brown people. Fun fact, ALL people are brown to some degree, except maybe for Albino people, but that's a genetic thing. Even white people are brown, just very pale brown. She didn't just gatekeep ethnic foods, she gatekept a chunk of humanity.

25:01 The throwing glow sticks thing brought me back to a childhood experience.

I currently have an iphone, since last year when my 4 year old Samsung 9 died!
Also, as mum of 4 kids I can testify that having kids merely shows you how LITTLE you actually know and how, just because a person can grow a child doesn't mean they can raise one, and it certainly doesn't mean, like so many parents seem to believe, that the second your body expels that little human you are blessed with all the knowledge of the universe!
I really like that the editors have added more visuals to Robin's rants. Like I like Robin but sometimes the rants can be tedious and my adhd brain just can't stand looking at the same post constantly while just listening to someone work themselves into a tizzy
The only games im ever really okay being gatekept are strategy games because the way they make them apeal to a wider audience is by dumbing them down.
I feel like specific subgenres in general kind of do need a *little* bit of gatekeeping. Like no, souls-like games shouldn't have an easy mode, because that defeats the point. Games are art and the struggle is part of the art in those games. And this is from someone who's not massively into that genre because of the difficulty.

9:24 also, despite being a parent, you can be tired, exhausted, and know about the world without kids. I hate when people do that. If you don’t want kids, don’t have kids.
10:28 ranch is for people who like ranch 👺
Woah 🤯
No, gatekeeping can absolutely be a good thing. Sometimes people will come into a fandom of a much beloved thing and be very vocal about changes to the core part of what made that thing so beloved in the first place. We've been seeing it happen with comic, it happened with movies, and now it's happening with video games franchises.
Bad gatekeeping = "You can't join our things unless you know XYZ and only speak this things obscure language."
Good gatekeeping = "You cannot join this thing if you're going to demand the thing be changed to fit your narrow view of how it should be or look. Respect the fandom's preestablished culture."
I have about 1300 hours in Dead by Daylight on my Switch and 500-700 hours in many RPGs and other games on my Switch. but I guess I'm not a real gamer according to that guy.
“the people who cannot tell their enemies from their allies should not be the ones standing guard at the gate”
I’m a punk and I’ll never understand the gatekeepers in the sky communities, like yeah there is a line, like for example if you don’t even listen to punk music or hold beliefs only contrary to punk then chances are you aren’t punk but past the music and beliefs you can be a punk no matter what, I know a lot of other “punks” will go “um actually you’re wrong because of blah blah blah” but don’t listen to them
I am one of those people who get bent out of shape about boneless wings. I don't particularly care what gets put on them, what they get dunked in or what anyone's reason for enjoying them is. My major malfunction with boneless wings is the terminology of it. They are not a wing that has had the bone removed. It's a simple chunk of chicken breast. Which is still fine. However, don't call it something it's not and proceed to charge a premium price for it. Always seemed like false advertising and unfair markup for a far cheaper item.
22:01 Okay, as a Taiwanese, I kind of understand gatekeeping food. It's a little more complicated with non-white food because I've seen boba tea shops in the US and they'll just use the powdered stuff for everything. They'll dump whatever they thing will taste good like cotton candy (not an exaggeration. There's a boba tea place in Universal City Boardwalk Hollywood that does this) and make it sweet as sh*t because that's what sells. "If that's what people want, then why not?" Because it dilutes the brand. They'll think that boba tea is SUPPOSE to be expensive (It's not suppose to be. It's suppose to be dirt cheap. I got one tonight. It was like a 1.70 USD for 700ml.). They'll come here to Taiwan thinking the drinks suck because it's not overloaded with sugar or weirded out because it actually has real tea in it. They'll take some food item, make it badly, call it deconstructed and try to convince people it's the standard and everyone else is doing it badly. They'll miss the point or the cultural significance or the taste or they'll do it their way and then try to GATEKEEP THE ORIGINAL CULTURE THAT INVENTED IT (Really. I've had Americans tell me they eat more Chinese food than I do. Me. The person who cooked and has cooked his own food, and only Chinese food, for almost every meal, from the age of 12.), etc. and almost gentrifying it while trying to scam people. "They won't do that! You're exaggerating!" I hear you might say. *sigh* Look up Universal City Board walk Hollywood again. There's a "Japanese" restaurant there. The Japanese on the menu? It's almost all fake. The whiskey section has the kanji for "Kanpai". Entre's is translated as "Antore" in Japanese. What's "Antore" you might ask? "Antore" is the JAPANESE PRONOUNCIATION FOR THE WORD "ENTRE"! For drinks, they literally write in English "Nomimono", which they also write in Japanese. So... for drinks, they write "drinks" in Japanese and not English but not entre or appetizer is in English because... reasons? The kanji for "sake" is "mokuteki" or "goal" in Japanese... Which makes it sound like they made the menu with the goal of selling expensive sake to unknowing/unwitting non-Japanese people.
If, like, a non-Chinese person learned the culture and the language and shows respect for the food, the food culture and its origins, I have no problems. But that very, very, veryveryvery often isn't the case.
So yeah, not all gatekeeping is bad, in my opinion. Just, like, most of it because I've seen a lot of people trying to get into stuff for the sole purpose of trying to be better than everyone else (I've had people telling me I don't know as much as about anime as they do. B*tch, I was watching Fist of the North star before you were born), as a measuring stick to "other" people they don't like, or to gatekeep other's if they have an opinion on an anime that's outside their own (Why do you think most anime is about a bad of outcasts? You know, AKA, the people that were kept out of things in society?). People that want to get into something just to use it to harm/hurt/demean/etc. others, those people need to be gatekepted out.
I understood how therapeutic being outside was when I was five years old. This dingdong thinks he's special.
I'm at the soup store
why are you buying clothes at the soup store?!
Same with the bone in issue. I also get the image of eating like/a animal when I tried eating off a bone. I already struggle to talk myself into eating food, so thinking about how much effort, mess, & inhumanity/viciousness.
12:52 - The point about LotR also applies to SW and Marvel, because both have vast and detailed secondary sections of canon that casual fans of the movies and TV shows may never interact with. MCU fans may not be comics readers. Star wars fans may watch the movies and Disney+ shows, but may know kark-all about Legends. Hell, I have learned a lot about some sections of Legends since getting into SW fanfic, especially stuff about Obi-Wan's padawan years and Jango Fett's backstory, since I have mostly been in the Clone Wars part of SW timeline, and favouring Obi-Wan as a character.
I feel like the Keanu one has never seen anything older than 1999.
the guy complaining about dnd and how inclusivity takes away the enjoyment is the type of person to say aloy has a beard
2:12 ah yes gatekeeping trauma…showing your complete lack of empathy and understanding or care for their issues because your issues are more extreme like Jesus it’s so invalidating and gross to just use your own personal trauma to push down others. Everyone has issues alright yes some are more dire and extreme however that doesn’t mean people are invalidated for having smaller issues to you.
I think this kinda thinking is possibly similar to this
The fallacy of relative privation, or appeal to worse problems, is an informal fallacy which attempts to suggest that the opponent's argument should be ignored because there are more important problems in the world, despite the fact that these issues are often completely unrelated to the subject under discussion.
Though could be wrong but still
Stop gatekeeping personal trauma!!
I will never understand goths gatekeeping shit. As a goth, let people dress how they want. Just because you don't approve of Hot Topic doesn't mean shit. Some of my favorite pieces of jewelry I have came from Hot Topic!
Isn't being alt supposed to be more accepting than the mainstream? That's what I always thought.
Wait, wait, wait... Did that dude legitimitely claim that MARIO GAMES don't require skill?? I've seen a lot of dumb shit posted in the last 2 decades but that has to be in top 3 dumbest statements ever uttered
He has not seen Grand Master Galaxy: The Perfect Run, Champion's Road And the entirety of Mario bros. The lost levels
Mario isn't a real game? Like the most iconic and recognisable gaming franchise in the world isn't a "real" game? Guy's tripping with that one.
It needs genuine strategy, too. Also, rude of them to assign things they don't count as games to women. Your sexism is showing, man. What about the men that play Mario and Pokémon and all?
The name of that Disney Movie is Zenon. And as a Millennial it took me a hot minute to remember it. But, I can also say with extreme confidence that the person who posted it as a Millennial Generational Gatekeep is that "She" forgot it was most likely other girls who saw it and not so many guys.
2:00 the fact that her caption is "yes it is a competition" tells you everything you need to know
14:38 i saw that post on twitter, and the OP was british
"androids cant be jailbroken" *gestures toward dunning kruger graph*
"Mario is not a real game, play something that gives a challenge and requires skill"
Literally lost levels
9:52 I don’t know why it was so funny when DIO’s Stand popped up when Robin said “The World” but I was dying of laughter
Emkay: “I don’t eat my pizza with ranch, what is wrong with you?!”
Me: * sits here feeling called out *
> Put down the baby-games and play something that requires challenge and skill for once
Okay dude let's see you take a swing at Pokemon Desolation, a fangame that made me struggle whilst playing with what is the closest thing to baby-difficulty/godmode you can have in Pokemon. (All my Pokemon have 31 IVs in every stat and there is no cap to EVs they earn (other than the 254 EVs they can have in a single stat, so every stat can have 254 EVs, as opposed to the usual 510 EVs maximum)
And that's STILL playing vs code. Now imagine playing against a human being who can see the cheese you're doing and adapt to it.
At the risk of sounding like a gatekeeper: You wouldn't last a second on Pokemonshowdown and Pokemon can be FAR from easy (Not that a game needs to be hard and challenging to be enjoyable)
17:15 Cooking is an Art. Baking is Chemistry 212 🤣
18:45 fight me when you can beat fire emblem with no deaths on insane. - Sincerely, a woman(? Maybe nonbinary egg. Idk)
Robin Damien Lexi and Jack are the coolest narrators
You're forgetting Slazo.
how exactly would the incline be "cancelled out" because someone is holding onto the support rail things? I assume thats what was there, some treadmills have like...hang grippy support rail things.
Manacled is a very adult very abusive Happy Potter fanfic, and I think someone on tiktok was binding it into actual books and selling it on etsy. Both stealing from the person that wrote it and potentially causing trouble with the legality of fanfiction. That's the context I believe.
8:10 What’s really funny about this is that even MCR has denied being “emo” and what’s even funnier is that most emo music is mostly venting about how they feel or past traumas. effectively making the person who got this tattooed a ‘fake emo’
(Don’t bash me if I’m wrong im emo myself and this is what I understand about the genre)
To any schmuck telling people to play a game with “a challenge”, talk to us when you’ve cleared every Star Road in the Mario series.
