I’m sympathetic about her complaint over reddit but nothing with mastadon had anything to do with her being a woman

“Calling women fake gamers, larpers, attention-seekers, or outsiders for visibly enjoying games is gatekeeping. It turns a hobby into a status boundary and makes gaming spaces worse.” That's the point I got from GPT-5.5. I disagree with the conclusion - I don't think gate-keeping is bad. I used to think it wasn't, but I see a lack of gate-keeping spaces, on both a local and national level, as the cause of certain issues. Go create your own damn hobbies with sparkle-ponies and hot-Antonio-Banderas lookalikes. Just leave mine alone.
