The gatekeepers of furry fandom are the people who decide who can or can't be part of the community. They can be very strict and judgmental, and they might exclude or harass people who don't fit their standards. Some say they are the old-school fans, while others say they are the big names in the industry. However, the author believes that there should be no gatekeepers in the furry fandom and that it should be a diverse and inclusive community.
