#i hate gatekeepers

[t0morrowsm0ney]

My hot take is that Pierce the Veil fans who are acting really weird and offended that 'so far so fake' is popular now and they don't want the 'normies' to find it are gatekeepers and are really showing the bad sides of the alternative community. If a song goes viral and new people are introduced to the band, how is that a bad thing? Is your own fanhood so threatened by teenage girls liking that song? It sucks man

i suppose this may count as a vent?

I go to this place called school of rock (not the movie lol)

i hate being in my band, it’s all cis guys and theyre all those type of metalheads/rock fans that are super obnoxious and gatekeepy!! every time i talk abt my favorite artist they call it “starter bands” which like- just because i listen to mcr doesn’t mean I’m gunna slowly transition to listen to obscure deathcore bands that only three people listen to and are only available on burned CD’s!! Like actually fuck off! And then i feel like a fake bitch and not “really alt”!! It’s so annoying bruh i wish they would stfu

People on Roblox who make clothing for obscure characters only to make it off sale actually pmo so bad. I had to make my own clothes for a MCSM character because the only other clothing was off sale.. but it was straight up just the textures ripped from the game... it wasn't drawn... It was just the textures... Genuinely gatekeeping for WHAT.

“i understand (insert media) better than you!” rebecca i don’t care if you’ve been engaging in (insert media) for two months or fifteen years. i just don’t. i am fully capable of understanding it myself and you are condescending, pretentious, and too protective over your interests which are not niche. it is not my fault that you think that all you have in life is being a big fan of something. please read a book you’ll probably gatekeep that too though.

Saying “You can’t be goth unless you listen to goth music” is like saying “You can’t be country unless you let John Denver’s ghost fuck you in the ass”

Every time someone mischaracterizes Mike or Will I get one step closer to gatekeeping stranger things
