Hot take but I think ppl get way to up and arms about “gate keeping”. I think a lot of ppl have learned helplessness and refuse to initiative to curate things and outsource all that power to other ppl

Girl I had someone ask where my bracelet was and I told them the EXACT store and said I got it online and they said I was gatekeeping… like I literally just told u all the details??? But yeah a reverse image search or finding similar vibes is literally in us like we have a power to find things

I’ve never personally cared about ppl gate keeping clothes or shoes bc I’m resourceful and it’s so easy to find things if you just take the time to search online 🤷‍♀️

It’s crazy! I don’t even gate keep (unless your rude or pocket watching) but I will literally see videos of someone asking where some got like a basic white tee shirt and then getting angry when the creator doesn’t immediately respond. Or like harassing ppl over it. I have always found the things I’ve wanted through a google search or sometimes I go through their old videos and I’ll see it there like if you want you’ll find it

Plus half of the time they’re not even going to buy or they complain it’s to expensive even when ppl do share it. Damned if you do or don’t
