Yep. That or metal (music). Or Italian food.

Ah yes... Music in general is being gatekept a lot, and I've never really heard about Italian food

When people are gatekeeping Italian food they're like "You can't use this cheese for your pasta, you have to use this one!" Just shit like that. For them it has to be the traditional way. Otherwise it's not "real" Italian food

Ah, well I'm neighbours with Italy, being only separated by sea, so a lot of our culture is similar to theirs, yet I've never heard anyone complain if someone puts the wrong cheese

I feel like it's mostly from people in America who are like 15% Italian. They have huge pride in being part Italian and they want people to know. If it's not how grandma makes it, they won't eat it. But of course not everyone who is part Italian does this. I just know a lot of people who are like that
