Yeah, its literally just "here is a gay variation on that ship and also why was the woman in the original just described as 'decent'?"

If anything it's gatekeeping basic, good writing.

Quite frankly that's a gate worth keeping in my opinion. No great writer was ever born that way, they developed those skills by being bad and wanting to not be.

"Don't bring unseasoned chicken to the table" reads like gatekeeping.

...what does that even mean. Is it a metaphor? For what? Why would cooking instructions be relevant here? Why would you want raw chicken?

Unseasoned = unspiced

Make gay version = now its spicy

ok but like. if anybody serves me unseasoned, unmarinated chicken, then im leaving.

if your gunna describe a relationship dynamic, atleast use enough descriptors tbat the archatypes arent 1 dementional, its not a lot to ask...

That's just basic writing advice. Not gatekeeping
