semi related but it drives me crazy when people on tiktok complain someone is "gatekeeping" because they won't say where they got their clothes from like ... why on earth would a stranger be obligated to tell you where they got their clothes from? and why is your brain so broken that you think "gatekeeping" is when hot girls dont tell you where they got their skirt from and not like ... things that actually matter?
when actual terms and concepts gets repeated as mantras and buzzwords for long enough they lose their meaning and weight.
the same happened to intersectionality, toxic and problematic.
