#cultural gatekeeping

Is the “authentic” indie film just marketing for people who don’t watch actual experimental cinema?

Is film criticism completely dead now, or are people just mad that their favorite YouTuber doesn't have a degree?

Do you secretly judge people who claim they love 'foreign films' but only watch what's on Netflix's top 10?

Are classic novels objectively better, or are boomers just gatekeeping an outdated canon?

Do literary awards like the Booker and Pulitzer matter, or are they chosen by an out-of-touch elite?
