How is this gatekeeping???

"You aren't welcome here if you aren't FOSS."
It's pretty damn clear.

The choice of a "teletubby" is obviously meant to be insulting too. If the point were that it was just different, they could have used practically any other hero from the same viewer demographic, instead they went with one only watched by "babies", and almost universally understood to be "stupid". Ask yourself "why did they choose a teletubby instead of a ninja turtle?"

...because this was originally just a comic that was joking about a teletubby trying to join in with the Power Rangers that is now an exploitable meme.

Like the other guy said, this is a popular meme format, OP didn't draw this. They're not saying Sync is bad, they're saying it's not FOSS like everything else we've seen so far

But I guess it's a matter of interpretation. I liked the meme but I'm sending this from Sync ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
