The attempted conversion of gatekeeping into a slur (it's not - it simply refers to upholding standards) is in fact an attack on the concept of tradition in general.
There are a lot of people who simply don't respect the concept of tradition or the idea that something can be time tested. They feel that everything can simply be reasoned from first principles, which is tempting (particularly when young) but misguided.
