Are people seriously happier with 1M/1F than 1M/3F. Honest to God question, because that seems to be the implication some people are making.
I hope that's not the case for many, though there are definitely a few out there who get hung up on this. And if I had to guess it's also partly because one male option leaves so much to be desired that everything else seems 'better'. While there may be a link between more female options and slight objectification that can be used to explain the different amounts of same-sex options (though I do believe it would take analysis of the dialogue rather than just looking at quantity), I feel that this argument is often lost in favor of a "they have more and that's bad" - type argument.
For me, the point has never been a numbers game in the sense of one gender having more than another. That argument just strikes me as irrelevant. I want more than one person to romance, and preferably, I'd like the whole cast to be available. I don't think it's bad to make the dialogues similar regardless of gender, nor is it much more work. (Though more than anything I just want Ashe ❤️ ). -

Someone on reddit posted a pretty comprehensive list of ways to contact Nintendo, IS and influential publications to relay the issue to. The post got buried pretty quickly because of all the other new posts about the game and some people downvoting it as the topic is ‘done to death’.
It wouldn’t hurt to try to contact Nintendo (because they clearly listen regarding the M!Byleth voice acting). Contacting various prominent gaming websites will also be beneficial too as it raises the issue outside of the FE bubble and will create more uproar.
If you (and others reading this) search ‘Let’s bring some attention to’ in the fire emblem subreddit, the post should appear (the actual title is much longer).
It was pretty well received on r/gaymers. Less-so but not poorly received on the FE subreddit, but there's a few bigots over there.

I also think it is great that we have a gaming community here that is calling this out.
I completely agree. I've been pretty religiously following some of the tweets and reddit posts and such. And while it's not always supportive, seeing others really caring about this makes me so happy.

This news honestly breaks my heart and is giving me really self conscious feelings that I haven't felt in a really long time.
Why can't people take relationships between guys seriously? It's stuff like this that really makes me feel less than human. I don't even know what to do.
My hope is that if enough people talk about this, maybe they'll consider changing it. This game is popular, much more than the previous in the series. I think it has a chance. I don't want to mod my game just to have gay characters 😞

Does anyone know where we can complain about this to Nintendo? Tweeting Nintendo of America and using fire emblem hashtags feels like screaming into a void, and I can't find a twitter or email for anyone who worked on the game.

Here's the link
They called out Nintendo only slightly, which I suppose is fine (infinitely better than nothing!), and it was well-written.
I personally would have preferred more scathing, but I'm a bit fiery about the topic and know that that would be a different article and a different direction. Either way, I hope this trend continues where people write more on this. Kotaku's obviously the big dog in the situation, but there are others who could speak up and now more people are reaching points in the game where this is coming up.
