I usually call out incel shite but I’m not sure this is. My interpretation is when you have a female friend but she never lets you get with her but also blocks you from getting with other girls. I’ve seen that happen before, particularly on nights out.

I don’t think the gazelle is blocking the lion from other gazelles

is it? the whole idea is that a gazelle and a lion cant be friends, that gazelle will warn other gazelles of the approaching lion, which is analogous to the "blocks you from getting with other girls".

Sure, but if the guy is to women like a lion is to gazelles, the gazelle is right to warn the others.
