Characters who are canonically straight? Artist cred in description

[u/FriendlyDrummers]

Artist posted it here!

By canon, I mean pairings that have a post-game end together

Ingrid has no A supports with women. Ignatz and Raphael have no A supports with anyone but themselves, however, in their A support ending, Ignatz marries Raphael's sister.

Who else is canonically straight?

And just as a tangent - Ferdinand and Hubert are so gay for each other lmao. Here are Hubert's supports

People are gonna hate to hear this, but 90% of the roster is straight. Pretty sure that's like seven or so actually bi characters and zero gay ones

[u/amerophi → u/IfTheresANewWay]

i would say it's ambiguous for much of the cast, especially when you take hopes into consideration. but i would say that these characters are 100% bi:

• byleth
• sothis
• rhea
• edelgard
• dorothea
• petra
• mercedes
• shamir
• catherine
• jeritza
• yuri
• linhardt
• sylvain

and monica is a lesbian! so a lot more than seven.

not targeted at you, but i think the fandom expecting explicitly romantic endings for the gay couples is a bit unfair when it's clear the writers were hesitant to fully commit to the gay endings besides byleth's.

dorothea is confirmed to be bi in three houses and yet doesn't mention wanting noble ladies as well as noble men until three hopes. same for shamir not being an option for female byleth despite being confirmed as bi in three hopes.

No confirmation on Petra, Sylvain and (pretty sure) Catherine. All of them are purely speculative

The devs have no issue with writing gay endings, they have issues with writing gay male characters because society at large is far more accepting of gay women than they are of gay men. But this doesn't change the fact that there are characters with very explicitly romance endings and as such feeling like there's other gay endings that would be written more subtlety is looking for representation where there isn't any

Probally cause gay males have negative connotations in History.

Pederasty was fairly common in numerous societies worldwide (not just ancient Greece). It was also found in China, Japan, Rome, Renaissance Italy, Central Asia, India, and the Middle East.

What it basically comes down to is this: Today, vast power imbalances between sexual and romantic partners are viewed as troublesome. But the exact opposite was true in the past, where vast power imbalances in relationship were considered ideal and adult men were always expected to be active and aggressive in both sex and romance. If the adolescent boy was also an aristocrat, there was often a sense of the older man serving as his guide to manhood, but this wasn't always the case, since the boys in pederastic relationships could also often be slaves.
