The left is anti-gatekeeping only up until they have reached critical mass and have taken over the hobby. After that they are more then happy to exclude you, using every means they can.
It's worse than that; they don't have to reach critical mass within the hobby, as they're experts at directing and riding the cultural currents. Even before they've taken over your hobby, they insert Current Thing into it by means of cultural bullying. As an example, look at how it's not safe to criticize the alphabet people in almost anything, including spaces that haven't reached critical SJW mass.
That is much a case of wokeness being an establishment-led phenomenon. The degenerate elites have all the connections and power needed to insert themselves into any hobby or industry and make demands with little effort. So you get people like Taylor Lorenz or John Walker Flynt able to shut down internet services on request. Sometimes an influential SJW troll is only a puppet for someone else, other times they have those connections that all "privileged" people have because they are the 1%.
They're not against gatekeeping on principle. They're only against something when they're not benefitting. It doesn't matter if they're a minority or majority, if their team is hurt, it's literal murder.
Pretty much. They just want different gates.
