    That is certainly one use of the word gatekeeping. Another common use of the word is:

    “when someone takes it upon themselves to decide who does or does not have access or rights to a community or identity”.

      You got it mixed up. I am not restricting one to let others in. Being a creep is not normal and it isn’t gatekeeping to say cosplaying little girls is not normal.

      And all the down votes prove how much this is normalized in linux communuty which gets us all bad rep.
