Gatekeeping is keeping people out. Light ribbing is light ribbing. Gatekeeping isn't happening. Poking fun is.

Its all the same shit.

Making fun of someone for finding interest in a hobby for whatever reason. Not only is it trying to make them reconsider their interests.

Its just plain stupid. What self respecting fan would actually want less people interested in their hobby?

You dont want them mucking it up with their newly found bright eyed optimism. Or anyone to approach your hobby with a different view or mindset?

How about you actually celebrate having more opponents for your games. And if you REALLY wanted to force them out. You could attempt to beat them on the 8x8 and crush their hopes of learning a new hobby cus they watched a show on Netflix

Assuming that you could both win AND crush their spirits forever.
