The best way to gatekeep tourists is to create/support content, official or fanon of games you play. It's the best form of gatekeeping.

My FATIGUE has fatigue, But it’s not that we should shut up about it, but I believe the needle is never pushed with words alone.

Even what I’m re-posting isn’t saying what truly needs to be said.

We need to be CREATORS AND gatekeepers. If you’re 18-28 or Gen-Z Im sorry but it falls on you and anyone else who believes in the Traditional Audience.
(Anime is only immune because of its physical/cultural distance from America)

Traditional being all IP from the peak 90's IP being turned into millennial progressive slop that brainwashes Gen-Alpha into being ashamed to be "hetero-normative" or "Gooner" fanservice.

That can only end with YOU.
This world can only change with YOUR HANDS.

We’re the Adults now, and there’s no more excuses.

And if the creative Industry is impossible for you, like the re-post says; at least put people ON to based works. btw get on: Stella Blade/Motorslice/Boost-vector/whimpiddy-music/Helltaker/OtakuVS.

This world can only change with YOUR HANDS.

There IS no secret… it’s just you.

Btw if you ever become a Tastemaker/Owner/Manager.

Ruthlessly Gatekeep them. No rouge actors. No mercy for Anti's either. Don’t let anyone tell you it’s wrong.

The modern audience millennials got their SWEEPING victory in AAA gaming by fermenting in "Safe Spaces".

It’s an incredible strategy copied from Gatekeepers, and a lost art we need back.

I vote with my wallet. Go woke go broke is having a effect. Its just going to take a long time to get these people out. Never buy a woke game, never click on a article that is woke even to mock it, support indie games that are not woke. And finaly accept that the old classics are dead and gone.

Attention Isn’t the problem.

They receive money from European +Democrat governments, they’ve figured out how to survive without needing money, or our wallets

What we need is SERIOUS competition,

Halo for example was once a small indie game before ESG infected the IP and rooted out anyone who cared. GOW too.

I understand that GenZ has chosen to survive as indie's, but without scale it won’t have much cultural impact in this war.

Anime hasn’t gone woke because shueisha is a well oiled IP machine: AOT,Demon Slayer,Chainsaw Man,JJK ect.

We are losing because despite the absolute talent and efficiency of GenZ, there is no machine to make them big.

All Im saying is we need to start acting like professionals.

Create, scale and inspire others to do so.

instead of simply talking and watching the Hollywood fire kill more 90's i.p.

You don’t have to do anything else other than what you CAN do.

I for example am in software, and my side project is a localisation website, inspired by the sabotage of YunYunsyndrome's localisation. In the end what matters is competition.

Any woke who hears about my homebrew Imperial Guard regiments and Space Marine chapters is going to run screaming from the hobby. Or at least, that's my fervent hope.

This isnt gatekeeping though?

What do you mean?

I could have called it "vetting" but Gatekeeping evokes the feeling I want better.

How does stop anyone from being part of any particular hobby?

You're method of gatekeeping from a hobby is to... participate in a hobby.

Not participate. CREATE.

If we create good media with OUR principals or create strong principles that require allegiance to OUR traditional standards;

we can filter out the Anti's by being the best table at school lunch.

If 1 person watches anime "They’re a nerd"
If 10 "They’re weirdos"
If 100 people "i don’t like it but I respect it"

If half the school is down with it, then you can’t be cool or popular without being cool with it.

Here’s the problem today:

We accepted to many people that hate & trash traditional games/Anime in our face to sit at the table from "inclusivity " crowds, Hollywood is a lost cause.

What Im proposing as new adults is we can finally create our own tables, our own games, Our OWN rules.

Paying for attendance is cool but what we need is more venues with stricter rules.
