I can't say for the last point, but here. Sexuality isn't something anyone notices, nor cares about in any character whatsoever. People are free to make their own decisions on characters' sexuality, but in no way should it be confirmed. It would be forced upon it, only because the majority of the player base do not care for it, and it is unimportant to the character.
You do not relate to someone just because of their sexuality, you relate to them based on their past, their experiences. Someone being gay doesn't change anything in their story, therefore it is unneeded. People can relate to their suffering. Let's take Feng min. She's a gamer, who felt rejected by her family, and ended up doing what many sulking teens wish to do, leave home and live their dream. Of course, she took it to an extreme and ended up dying for it. But, let's say instead ofher being addicted to gaming and therefore rejected, she was rejected for being lesbian. Okay, where now? She's lesbian, does she follow the dream of being a gamer? There wasn't setup. The story doesn't work. Let's say she still is a hardcore gamer. She loved games, and was kicked out of home for it. Btw, she's gay. Does it change the story? No. It doesn't. Nothing about their sexuality changes anything in the story. There is no reason to add the sexuality. Simply let people live as they want, with their own imaginations of the character's life and ideas.

"Okay. This will be fun. Please explain how it's more obvious without sounding racist. I'm dying to know how you're going to do this. Give me something good, like 'I know they're black because they have dark skin and curly hair.' Lololol."
I'm Chinese. I have relatively smaller looking eyes due to my heritage and the little flaps over my eye. I have a round face, and although I am tall, I have an Asian hairstyle to boot. Most would assume that I am Asian, and they would be correct to do so. It is not racist in any way to assume my race. They are not looking down at me, they are inferring this from what they have seen. Unlike sexuality, an innate preference, there are numerous physical features on my face and my skin color to help discern my race.
Yes, some sexuality may have a trait commonly seen, such as clothing choice, but it is not as common as the racial differences. Therefore, race is not nearly as difficult to see as someone's sexuality.
