A word used to describe when someone sets a standard/limit on what someone must do to call themselves a 'true fan' of something/someone.
Joe: So what TV shows do you like?
Erin: Well, I'm a huge fan of Doctor Who. I also...
Joe: Doctor Who? I LOVE that show. When did you start watching.
Erin: Back in 2005 when the show was restarted.
Joe: Ah, you see, I was watching the classic series long before then. You can't really call yourself a true fan.
Erin: But I have a ton of the merchandise, and I've met David Tennant...
Joe: Oh, you're a fan definitely but not a proper fan. We've been there since long before the BBC revived the show.
Ted: Dude, stop gatekeeping the show. A fan is a fan. You don't need to set a standard.

When someone uses a hobby or interest as a means of elevating themselves above others to give oneself a sense of being superior transforming their passion or knowledge about a particular subject into an ugly tool of self-inflation.

Someone who has the mindset that 'if you're not a fan/part of this (famous figure, a trend), you absolutely cannot join. Someone who always make things more complicated, always adds a controversy or an issue to a certain trend.
These gatekeepers are often found in the Philippines, making memes out of trends.
"Hey, avatar is now available on Facebook! Should we try it?"
"Yes, we should. But we need to take care— gatekeepers are on their way to make a meme out of this trend."

In fighting sports, a gatekeeper is a fighter with an established record of toughness, but is not in title contention. Young prospects must fight gatekeepers to prove their mettle and worthiness to proceed into a higher level of competition and become title contenders.
Biff fought a gatekeeper in his latest bout and put on a good performance.

When someone takes it upon themselves to decide who has access to something
Gatekeeping is literally just:
YOU'RE NOT A REAL (insert something here) IF YOU DON’T (insert completely arbitrary thing here)!!!1!1!11!
