Gatekeepers stand between you and your chosen path. Or at least they think they do.
Im careers, music, brands, relationships, bigger companies.
Don't let the gatekeepers stop or control you from your path of success .

The Gatekeeper. Some polish (maybe russian or something idk) guy from the board game Nightmare. I am absolutely bored (pun intended) that I decided to make a defintion about this game from 1993.
The Gatekeeper: get closer. Still closer. DON'T GET NEAR ME YOU MAGGOT
Me: WTFFFFFF AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
When someone limits people from certain hobbies/memories/activities over something as small as the year that they were born in.
Gatekeeping is frowned upon, so I don't recommend doing it. It's also a really stupid thing to do.
Example of gatekeeping:
Anyone born in 2007 is a tide pod eating 2010 kid who doesn't deserve to have a opinion.
Please don't gatekeep, its really rude and immature. I just wanted to show an example of how gatekeeping is used.

The girl who can't get a guy, usually drinks the most and is always a cock blocker. There is usually one in most groups (girls group).
One of the 'The Gatekeepers' friends are chatting with a guy, she would then cock block them in anyway possible.

n. The practice of preventing the entry of bad actors into a fandom. The bad actorsβ intent is to damage intellectual properties by forcing the IP owner to change the lore, alter the gameplay, or otherwise decrease the enjoyment of the IP by long-time, heavily invested fans. These bad actors typically have no interest in the intellectual property and are not willing to spend time or money to support the IP, but have a loud voice on Twitter or other social media, fooling IP owner into thinking they have more clout than they do. They usually join the fandom for political reasons or to damage the public image of the fandom.
βI used to be against gatekeeping. Then I saw what happened to Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr. Who, the video game industry, Marvel, DC, Hollywood, Dungeons and Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, the NBA, the NFL, and MLB. Gatekeep your fandom, my friends!β

mid 2007 born (may-august): all people born in our year and the neighbouring years had a similar experience while growing up. gatekeeping shouldnβt matter
