Streets are saying they might have made Yasuke gay?
Maybe it's like a choice thing though where you can make him gay or straight idk
Tbh it sounds par the course with most games dating back to the Mass Effect series. You can have either mc pursue or be reciprocative to batty boi/girl advances or have them in the straight (no pun) and narrow.
“The difference in their social stature is reflected in the world itself, which will respond differently to the player depending on who they are playing as,” explained the developer. “Naoe, for example, can present herself as a peasant and garner appropriate reactions; that is, if she wants to be seen at all. Yasuke, on the other hand, comes from a different land, but his status as a samurai garners respect from others, so people will bow to him on the streets.”
“Characters can have different expectations of the pair,” they added, “and in some cases, will prefer to deal with only one or the other.”
Ubisoft then turned to discuss how the pair’s “disparate personalities also lead them to have different relationships and rapports with other characters,” as “they don’t always feel the same way about people, nor do people always feel the same way about them.”
In terms of romance, they additionally noted that “both Yasuke and Naoe will also attract and be attracted to different types of people” and thus “through the pair, players will get to experience a multitude of relationships.”
Different types can also be social status. Ultimately I think the LGBT crowd is just trying to get in on the attention. Remember they tried to push Gwen Stacy as gay/tran in the Miles Morales movie once that interracial relationship got traction.
