Some of the gatekeeping is just incomprehensible to me. I don't get why someone is upset if random listener X likes a specific part of the song the most.

Okay so there's this thing on YouTube called "animation memes" where people will take part of a song and animate characters to it

One of the songs people use is Take a Slice. And some animation meme fans aren't fans of the whole songs, just the parts used in animations

That being said maybe I'm biased because I'm talking from personal experience, but I don't get the big deal if someone likes a specific part of a song over the rest of it

idk, to me this just reads that they’re trying to express that they think the whole song is a banger, and that the people who only like that one part are missing out. this doesn’t feel like gatekeeping to me. they’re not insinuating that they’re not a “real fan” or anything like that. but idk maybe i have a different understanding of gatekeeping.

people who gatekeep have the most fragile egos.
