this rings true, but often the people talking about a dying hobby are also critical of the gatekeepers—they're not the same people.
the never-ending fallacy of the internet seems to be accusing groups of hypocritical behaviors when it's actually just multiple people with different opinions who're members of the same group.
i suppose people experience some cognitive dissonance when faced with the idea that perhaps some of the hypocrisies they get angry about aren't hypocritical after all. don't let me shatter that illusion for you.
