Gatekeeper

Gatekeeping is universal and everyone does it; but there are bad types of gatekeeping.This essay explores various roles that philosophers occupy in relation to intellectual disability. In examining how philosophers define their object of inquiry as experts and gatekeepers, it raises critical questions concerning the nature of philosophical discourse about intellectual disability. It then goes on to consider three alternate positions, the advocate or friend, the animal, and the “intellectually disabled,” each of which points to new ways of philosophizing in the face of intellectual disability.

it's people who invent random reasons to shut your desires down

so, a lot of great things get created because people feel they want something to be different. e.g. someone had the idea to make the game Half-life have "realistic weapons and damage" and made Counter-Strike which became one of the most popular games in history. a gatekeeper might have tried to stop him when he started like, "why even have different combat? That's just a different game  "
