“I bet you don’t even know the name and story of this obscure character that appeared in the background for 2.7 seconds, so you actually are not a real fan of [name of TV show, movie, book, etc]”
How exactly does some neck beard fuck on the internet calling somebody a fake fan for not knowing an obscure fact prevent us from ending up with the witcher show?
no, what they mean is how people writing the netflix series probably said they “liked” the Witcher but then proved otherwise with their work. That was one of the rare instances where gatekeeping would’ve been somewhat useful
If by fake fans you mean trolls and others who enjoy pushing anger and outrage, I’m with you.
But if fake fans means people who hasn’t read the books and are okay with the changes to the show, then nah, I will not accept gatekeeping them. People are allowed to have different opinions. And us fans have a tendency to be blind to what works on screen because we each have favorite parts of the book we dont want to be cut away. We need the show-only fans.
I only consider Gatekeeping valid for people that are in charge of converting the material to a new form, they obviously should know the source material well. For fans though? piss off, they are allowed to like it without studying it. Having the same standards for regular fans than for show runners is very unfair.

What constitutes a fake fan? How do you keep them out without gatekeeping?

That…happens a lot? People infiltrating forums and things to try and take down a show or a movie? Are these people in the room with us right now?
