    It’s more of a slang word, but it’s the act of arbitrarily not including certain people in a group, and including yourself in that group, in order to make yourself feel special or better emotionally. In the Anglosphere at least, activists do that a lot. They do it to non-activists, and to each other even more.

    Sorry, I may have inserted my own “pet issue” here. Your story just sounds like a lack of empathy.

      It was, but actually, gatekeeping as you defined it fits the kind of situation I broadly wanted to refer too. This example is a little extreme, but yeah. Thanks for the definition, btw!
