Gil deserves Parker's lectures, but for Parker to call him Gilbert is hypocritical. As far as Parker is concerned it's fine when Parker does things, but Gil isn't allowed to do the exact same things. Does a character who would treat a close friend so unfairly deserve respect?

We agree on it being none of Parker's business. That's part of my issue with him.

Parker complains about his weight in several routes and wants to lose weight, but he doesn't want to put the work in by dieting. It wouldn't make sense for Gil to make up the whole thing about it being an exchange, it's too weird to make up.

In Mark's episode, Mark overhears Gil and Parker talking about how Parker needs to start watching his weight, which sounded to me like their agreement hadn't been made yet. Parker said Gil touches him rarely, so it's conceivable that Gil hasn't touched Parker after the agreement. And this also puts into question the issue of Gil being a virgin because of Parker and all the hypothetical people Parker might've cockblocked him from since that would've also been before their agreement. For a long time I disliked Gil because of his behavior, but I eventually realized Walter hadn't properly expressed that he didn't like it. If you do have Walter say so, Gil stops immediately. The way Parker lectures Gil focuses on how Gil shouldn't act this way to/in front of students. Similarly to Walter initially kinda disliking it but never really saying so, I assume Parker never really complained properly to Gil about touching him or Gil would've stopped already.

Lars knows about the agreement in Anders route and thinks it's unnecessary (though ironically Lars would bonk Gil for being lewd later).

The scene where Parker brags about all the people Gil could've slept with without him and Gil says he's a virgin because of Parker suggests otherwise.

I'm not saying Gil shouldn't be lectured for his behavior, but that it's hypocritical for Parker to call him Gilbert. Immature behavior or not, it's unfair. And he even does it when Gil hasn't done anything at the time to deserve it, or he thinks Gil isn't around.

Parker calls Gil Gilbert disrespectful. Is Gil's touching Parker respectful?

Parker may not have really complained about Gil's behavior, but that doesn't mean Gil can take it for granted to touch Parker. Since Gil doesn't like Parker, why does he touch Parker? Gil probably began to touch Parker four or five years ago, but Gil and Lars are together. Is this respect for Parker? Is it natural for Parker to let Gil touch? Maybe Parker once thought Gil touched him because he liked him, so he didn't refuse. But now Parker may not think so. He may think it is disrespectful to him.

There is no evidence that Gil didn't touch Parker after the agreement was reached. In fact, Parker complained to Walter that Gil touched him, and Gil still played sexy jokes on Parker. 

Parker's complaint about his weight does not mean that Gil is needed to supervise him, nor does it mean that Parker will take dieting as a bargaining chip. Gil may also lie. Gil thinks that Parker needs Gil to help him monitor his weight, and thinks that this is Parker bargaining chip. This may be just his wishful thinking. This agreement was initiated by Gil, not Parker, he even didn't want Gil to manage his diet.

Gil initiated the agreement, but he didn't fulfill the agreement himself. He would still do some bad behaviors. At least he shouldn't do those bad behaviors to Parker, such as making sexy jokes. You can't take Parker's supervision of Gil for granted. Gil himself needs moderation. Gil didn't perform the agreement, so why should Parker perform the agreement? So why does Parker have to go on a diet?

Lars doesn't think this agreement is necessary. He may think Gil can't control his sexual behavior at all.

Why can't Parker boast that Gil can sleep with everyone without him? Gil also laughed at Parker's weight in front of everyone, didn't he? Lars also sometimes call Gilbert. If Parker calls Gilbert hypocritical, Parker can call Gil by his full name: Gilbert · Learnard. 

You can dislike Parker or even hate him. Please don't label Parker as a hypocrite until we get more information about him. Gil doesn't seriously perform the agreement. I can also say that Gil is hypocritical.
