No idea where art came into the equation but you do know that gatekeeping is an entirely self-excluding phenomenon, right? New members who actually fit in with the existing group and don't insist on changes aren't going to be gatekept because they're not going to be caught. If you feel like a community is shutting you out, it's because you're not fitting in.
What else are the fandoms you're talking about built around if not art - Movies, games, books, shows?
You're telling me how gatekeeping works, but not why it's a good thing.
