The only case where I personally contributed to doomposting was when Innocent Rules was in development due to the sheer amount of new people who wanted to play solely that game due to the /ss/. There's this one Twitterfag I see who was constantly posting screenshots of the series, some he even edited Blacksouls "to rape, or not to rape" choices over, and even knew exactly why people didn't like him doing that and kept going purely to be a dick, but I don't think he'll be an issue. I also once saw someone post a playorder and crossed out the spinoffs. Not really a big deal or that relevant I just thought that was really fucking annoying when I saw it. It was under a pretty big account though, unfortunately.
I generally don't agree with the "it gatekeeps itself" mindset because Blacksouls and Fear & Hunger showed it's just not true, but in the case of SEQUEL I think it's at least a little true in the sense that since it takes as much digging as it does to get to the greater lore of the series, I imagine most people would just see it as any other eroge and move on. Even then though, the issue there is the chance of people making a massive stink over the flatties and the series gaining infamy that way, or if the series is subjected to the same fate as ToToNo, Saya no Uta, or Subahibi where you have massive droves of people making the series their aesthetic without even knowing it's an eroge, then trying to "reclaim" it when they find out they aren't the target audience. These are highly unlikely though, I think in the long run we'll probably be fine.
Actually, just before posting this it also hit me that a pretty big issue is the sheer crossover between BS and SEQUEL fans that could lead to some spillover, but I doubt that would happen too since BS oldfags hate the newfags enough to never want to be around them.
