The phychology of gatekeeping

I was thinking about this and thought it would be an interesting topic for people's opinions. Shauna Rae had a show on TLC that was about her life with pituitary dwarfism (she looks younger than her age, 25). From the get-go, I noticed people gatekeeping her because of her appearance and it hasn't gotten any better. In a recent podcast, she said that she hides her boyfriend's identity because the gatekeepers have threatened her exes.

It made me wonder what psychological condition causes people to gatekeep like this. She wants to live a normal life, but these self appointed saviors feel the need to intervene. I tried a google search but the couple stories I found all deal with people who gatekeep hobbies, etc, not gatekeep strangers. The only thing I can come up with is a form of narcissism. "I don't care that she is an adult, she looks like a child, therefore I shall protect her!" But I don't think that fully explains it. What do you guys think it is?
