if intsys wanted to make explicitly gay characters (gay, not bi), whose sexuality was actually a part of their character--for example, when it came to their backstory and past relationships and how it affected them and made them become who they are in the present,--then yeah, they'd have to restrict s support for the avatar and probably get mixed feedback about it. i don't think they're going to do that any time soon though
so far i've only played awakening, fates and 3h, but to me it doesn't seem like sexuality of characters matters at all in fe, with maybe a few exceptions like sylvain whose entire personality seems to be that he's a skirt chaser. funnily enough, i headcanon him as bi
personally, i think everyone should be technically bi and romanceable, if not between each other (because there'd be twice as many s supports to write) then at least with the avatar. let's take any character, for example frederick. as far as i know, the game never mentions anything about his attraction to other people. so if you romance him as f!robin, is he straight? what if you were able to romance him as m!robin? would he be gay then? or what if he's bi in both cases? it all just comes down to the way you headcanon him. if you see him as straight, then he's straight. if you see him as gay, then he's gay. same with many, many others, whose sexuality isn't once discussed in an explicit way. and i don't mean a guy blushing when talking to a girl, because even then he still might be bi. you see what i'm getting at?
