This board doesn't do enough gatekeeping. We need to push more dense and obscure works and make newbies feel excluded for not reading them. Then once they try and (hilariously) fail to read them, they'll pack up their shit and head off back to plebbit. It's obviously time to start gatekeeping; otherwise this board will turn into an irreversible trash heap.

Never worked, far too easy to pretend you have read something you did not.
The whole "start with the X" was essdntially this, but guess how many people here even own a book older than 50 years...
You mean fhe book being older than 50 years or the tome? I just assumed most people here have read Homer.
Meant date of writing.
> I just assumed most people here have read Homer.
I assume most people here woudn't be tell you anything about his works except "greek, siege".
That's why the books need to be more obscure. Nowadays, every pseud has an unread copy of Being and Time and Infinite Jest on his bookshelf.
It's trivial to pretend to habe read those books. It just does not work.
I've been reading from Aristotle to Kant just to pretend that I've read Heidegger
You know you can just skim Wikipedia, right?
>gatekeeping books that have been on the public domain for centuries and that anyone can access
>implying that people here read books instead of checking up the plot summary on goodreads
This board just talks about the top 50 most popular books of all time, who fricking care at this point?
It's over IQfybros...

It's just pretentious nerds who scoff anything outside of the canon, while not understanding it either
anything outside the canon is thrash
You are not special.
Do this and you'll get the opposite:
Genregays posting outside of their generals and bumping threads about King, GRRM, Sanderson, Le Guin, etc.
Gatekeeping is for moronic anime trannies who lack the self-awareness to realize their "hobby" is inherently low bar.
Back to plebbit, tourists
It's like you don't realize "gatekeeping" is codeword for "appeal to the common consensus of my group", which is a mentality unfortunately very common on IQfy.
>"gatekeeping" is codeword for "appeal to the common consensus of my group"
Unironically. And they never realize when they're the ones being gatekept.
While your partly right, that's common human behaviour you dumb frick, just point out the solution and then to logical flaw that made you propose the change in conduct of disengage
this anon
more or less has the right idea
you can use a term for many fields you know?
>board circlejerks over "muh classhicsh" and charts even more than usual as a result
Go the frick back to
Wrong board
Wrong board
You already failed since you clearly consume anime. Go back to plebbit.
This board needs more good gatekeeping and less bad gatekeeping.
Good gatekeeping = ignoring poor-quality threads and posts and holding people to decent standards.
Bad gatekeeping = endless cliquey games of one-upmanship. Silly posturing with nothing behind it.
Finally, someone who isn't an antisocial schizoid freak.
Are ya winnin' son?
frick off back to IQfy
this is an anime website
No this is IQfy. Anime is not IQfy. moron. Go back to your gay little containment board.
Think /lgbt/ is more your speed. You should go back there.
That board is filled with anime, you should feel right at home
I did not say it because of the anime image on the op. I said it because of your stupid little opinion
>b-but it’s a tranime website
anime is juvenile shit
gatekeep me daddy
Anon, I was thinking this site in general needed to go back to gate keeping. The Trump/Populism wave made way too many idiots feel welcome here. Plus pandemic resulted in Summer Posters that never went away.
by my calculations we experiencing 23 summer. come back in two years and tourist density will have diluted
>gatekeeping
Refuted by me threatening you with bodily harm.
Got a warning yesterday for calling another poster infertile.

>Got a warning yesterday for calling another poster infertile, like a boss.
I came here from the front page and I never read anything.
