The 'Persuadable Bouncer' meme, also known as the 'Picky Bouncer,' originates from a series of illustrations depicting a stern guard blocking a club entrance, only to enthusiastically welcome the next guest. It perfectly illustrates the concept of gatekeeping followed by immediate fanboying when a specific, often niche or superior, interest is presented. The meme gained massive traction on platforms like Reddit and Twitter as a way to highlight personal biases, specific tastes in music, gaming, or food, and the sudden shift from being exclusionary to being a welcoming host once the right password or item is revealed.
