Cringey Moments of Ridiculous Gatekeeping

Ever meet a person who thinks they are the premier authority of any given subject? You know, the kind of person who decides what is right and what is wrong, and won't budge on their stubborn stances? Well, the internet is full of these kinds of people, and they are commonly referred to as gatekeepers. They generally exert this "authority" over aspect of culture, such as gaming, or even institutions such as marriage or the concept of "maniliness." The practice is wholly obnoxious, and can often be downright offensive. The r/gatekeeping subreddit is filled with examples of these holier-than-thou types, and because we like to mock people like this instead of causing a fuss over their bad takes, we've got some primo posts here to share with you. We hope these sad people get the comeuppance they deserve.
