    Gatekeeping is a necessary part of maintaining the passion, fidelity, and integrity of any hobby. Shaming gatekeeping is an ignorant thing to do.

    Anime isn’t a hobby. That’s like saying “if you don’t know The Wire season 4 outro song, you’re not a real HBO fan”. Tf wrong with y’all I only see this weirdo Ish in anime. Even MCU/DCU didn’t have this much bs

    Anime is a medium. Watching anime or reading manga is a hobby (not necessarily mine mind you, I only watch one anime and binge-read a few manga once or twice a year, but the point still stands).

    Gatekeeping doesn't mean you cannot invite others or discuss it with them yo, how else are you supposed to support the media you enjoy.

    american dweebs really stopping the japanese creators from making money by gatekeeping their products lmaoooooooooo

  • Feb 16, 2021

    It's weird how this forum that centers mainly around rap can't understand why gatekeeping exists. It's to keep some amount of integrity between the fans/artists that will go onto create more anime and keep the discussions on anime as high-quality as possible over the long term.

    Like oldheads that talk s*** on new rap, I totally understand where they're coming from. But I think it's important just to have a wider scope and delve deeper into rap in whatever form.

    Gatekeeping doesn't mean you cannot invite others or discuss it with them yo, how else are you supposed to support the media you enjoy.

    The problem is how do you gatekeep an entire medium

    Youre not even gatekeeping fandoms youre gatekeeping an entire series of illustrated works and animated content.

    Its bizarre and arbitrary
    And with DB, Naruto, etc

    These are some of the most popular series in the medium that many other series reference constantly.

    So its like what does he want.

    And in this case popular means good for most of these series

    Most of Shonen Jump are literal classic series like Slam Dunk, YYH, Demon Slayer, Naruto, One Piece, Fist of the North Star, Death Note.

    Unless youre reading Endless and GUNM tier series back to back most series are unironically not better than the s*** that aired on Toonami.
    So what exactly is he gatekeeping?

    I'd argue that if you have followed either Shuiesha or Kodansha magazines or their anime adaptations you are clearly a fan of this medium

    dude in op even said "stay tf out of anime"

    Gatekeeping as it relates to anime and manga is when you preserve the substance of a media by calling out people who use it to be "quirky and different" or "fashionable", for being fake enthusiasts. They have no understanding or desire to understand the depth or substance of the franchises but will use it to promote themselves.

    When the wrong demographic exceeds the core demographic they become the primary demographic, which causes quality of the brand suffers overall because they and have no real standard (or understanding) of what is good or bad about it.

    The more of a household name it becomes, the more the story and quality of art suffers for instance, because the writers/authors start milking it as their cash-cow to please as many people as possible, which typically results in mediocrity on all ends. Something to be said about hunger and quality, etc.

    This generally occurs over the course of years although there are a few exceptions to sensationalized media maintaining quality or improving such as One Piece, AoT, and OPM. But it has happened enough for people to become cautious of something they enjoy becoming commercialized, despite wanting it to succeed as a niche media more than anything. It has nothing to do with "dweebs really stopping Japanese creators from making money".
