If you watched a guy with an AK walking down the street and entering your neighbors' houses one by one, some bullet noises, then walking to the next house, I bet you would shoot him before he enters your property, if you had the opportunity.

Try staying in your lane in that situation. It's just being proactive.

Now I don't have any context on this guy past the title of the post, or what they mean by "repeated" gatekeeping, but just given the title of the post, them having the opinion that saying "dragonfucker is not a gender" is gatekeeping is laughable. So I'm hoping something else was going on for my own sanity, because this is sad.

That is quite an extreme example for something so mundane in reality.

I had to debate upoting lol

It was just the first example I thought of to make the point.

No actual humans were hurt in the making of this metaphor. ^_^

Lol it's fine, just if you were trying to convince someone you'd have a hard time winning them over with such an extreme example.

I can see your heart is in the right place haha
