With the "everyone's sexuality depends on yours" approach they should at least have the courage to make characters who are never into your gender. Like a woman who is straight if you're a woman and a lesbian if you're a man.
Romance in games is usually to some degree a wish fulfillment fantasy. Giving the players what they want gives the player what they want, which is the whole point of the game. But on the other hand I understand why people want a character who is "authentically", canonically of a fixed sexuality. You want to feel like the character was written for you, instead of just written for a generic protagonist who won't understand your unique culture and circumstances.

Or a person who's aroace if you are __
I'd love that. Just a character made unavailable in reaction to your choices. They just have to not cave to fan pressure.
