I don't have enough information to say one way or another, but in an abstract sense, I think I do see a very distinct difference between someone who is in any way not heteronormative (for instance, someone who identifies as genderqueer) being in a story and it not being used as a kink, and a story about that same person that specifically turns that identification into a kink.
I certainly experienced that sort of thing irl - it's one thing to love someone who happens to be genderqueer, and another thing to actively fetishise that.
Of course, like I said, I've no idea at all if that's the sort of distinction that they're making or not, but it's what immediately occurred to me.
