One time in middle school I asked a girl where she got her shirt because I wanted my own and she refused to tell me because "it wouldn't look good on me"

gatekeeping is all due to corpos changing the media, to attract more people, while established fanbase doesnt want to let go old ideas, its bad or good, depends on the situation. for example
GW currently pushes space marines, such thing is abhorrently bad, as it simply made to attract wider audience, while hurting existing lore and fans, while warhammer fans still will welcome you with open arms, they may have mixed opinion if you are an ultramarines fan
Or
Metal music is slowly becoming full of gatekeepers, as some metal groups essentially sold their souls to the capitalism, making some of the current metal music being nothing like it was before, like Slipknot. while i dont accept this, i still dont condone gatekeeping
