What is the reason for the 'gatekeeping' elitist phenomenon in pop culture?
That's an interesting question. 'Gatekeeping' is a phenomenon where a group of people take it upon themselves to determine who does and who doesn't belong in a certain social group, activity or profession. In pop culture, this is often seen when fans exclude others who they consider not to be "real fans" or not being involved enough in the fandom.
