I think that's just twitter being twitter. If someone has something wrong, in most cases I imagine it's better to just explain to them what they have wrong, and what is actually correct. Constructive criticism, if you will. Some people just won't listen (like this example). then gatekeeping is a more reasonable option. I do see your point with this example, but it is just one example. (Unless it's actually a big problem already. I wouldn't know because I don't use twitter.)
Lesbian battleground is purely a fanon depiction. Anyone claiming that it's canon needs to be gatekept super hard. Especially after ZUN literally said that none of the characters have any romantic feelings towards one another. Hyper sexualized? Again, purely fanon. I'd literally start posting official artwork in the replies just to prove how inept that person is. I knew the fanon vs canon issue was confusing for newer fans, but takes like those really do need to be gatekept for the sake of the universe.
Touhou must be gate kept from people who make the same "Akyuu is dead" joke for the millionth time and act like its 100% canon or that it isn't an unfunny dead meme that should have died several months ago lol
Jesus
Opening Twitter is the first mistake
