What a weird world this Tumblrverse is. Gatekeeping is a wonderful thing in music. See children, there used to be (and still is in Europe and the rest of the world) this term called "posers". In metal (especially thrash metal, new school or old) it means that you don't fit in, you don't like the music, or you like weak bands and pretend to like thrash. You used to get the holy living shit kicked out of you for doing this. That is a form of music gatekeeping that needs a big comeback here in the USA.
Back on direct topic: I don't get
@fionatheconartist at all. I understand (somewhat) the things tumblrinas do, but in her case, she's relatively attractive, doesn't seem to have crippling autism (despite her claims), and could do much better with her life than dropping out of college and spending time making pages of fictional characters that she claims to be in her head. I know its not a mental disorder she's got either, its a trend among her age group, but I always assumed the people who did this were fugly introverts raised in non-stop cartoon and anime childhood in the 2000s. Am I wrong? Has this weird meta-referencing nerdy Tumblr shit infected people who otherwise could have been relatively normal people?
