If you really want to get down to brass tacks about it, the movie was saying love can transcend appearance, not necessarily sex. Loving relationships don’t have to include gargling beast balls, so I’d say the adult hot take is still valid.
I don’t know, that’s very clearly romantic love they’re talking about throughout the whole thing. The entire point of the curse is making the Beast ugly so he’d have to be nice to get some, and she certainly didn’t get into that dress to friendzone him.
You made me go check, the curse demands that he “learn to love another, and earn HER love in return”. I don’t think beloved drinking buddies would have cut it. This is not subtext, it’s the text.

I mean yes but asexuals exist and we can feel romantic love too
Disney in general shows very clearly only romantic love
