If the assholes that shit out such articles hate it, then it's probably great.

In regards to nerd culture, I think it basically means "real nerds" defining who the "real nerds" are and excluding "fake nerds".

A real life example I've seen SJW types like to use, which they tie up with accusations of misogyny in gaming communities, is when a female gamer tries to take part in gaming, she'll be called a fake gamer girl and shunned unless she can match the "real hardcore gamers" knowledge and skill.

If I recall, specifically regarding Ready Player One, one article that accused it of gatekeeping was criticizing it for being so heavy on references that viewers/readers who aren't as dedicated to the trivia related to those references are excluded. Also something about one of the plot points from the book being the creator of the Oasis being obsessed with '80s pop culture and only gamers who had acquired a mastery of '80s pop culture trivia being able to excel.

I don't know for sure myself, because I haven't read the book or seen the movie. Just read some stuff that shits on it for being too kind to straight white, male nerds/gamers.

No. The book was bad enough and somehow, the movie managed to make its incessant spew of masturbatory name-dropping even more vile than the first time around.

On its own it could stand as a good movie but getting 80s/90s/early 00s pop culture references shoved down my throat every other minute sucked. The movie actually turned me off to gaming. It also made cryptocurrency look like a joke

Probably. I went with my very much non gaming family and they all enjoyed it. None of us thought it was anything amazing, but it was a fun ride.

And references are far beyond just gaming. There's 80s and 90s references from music, movie, show, and even people. Outside of being a movie centered around people inside of a VR game, there's not really a ton of direct video game references.
