I don't understand what's gatekeeping about who just come over here saying why they did. Like that's literally not what the word means. I think you just like the sound of it.
Recently I went to a craft store. I told them I look for X and that I tried at a different store, but the lady was rude there. Was I gatekeeping somehow?
Plus, what is the issue with gatekeeping? An established group of people is selective about who they allow in to avoid the nature of the group changing completely.
I don't support the idea that every formal or informal group HAS to accept in everyone, even people who wouldn't fit the group or would be downright damaging to the goals, mood, sustainability, etc. of said group. The rules and habits are made by the members, not some rando who just walks in.
That is normal and common sense and basic intelligence.

Okay, we get it. You are an idiot. No need to play it up even more, mate.
