Which means, in my opinion, they knew the primary audience for romancing Astarion would be female. To drive home his pansexuality and reinforce the fact that sex is likely a meaningless prospect for him, they made the suitors most mentioned male.
Really, well I do not see it that way at all. What I see is a clear preference for him to choose males over females.
Let me ask you, would you in real life try to pursue a guy who is talking about and sleeping around with men mostly? Do you feel like you'd be attracted to a guy who is clearly leaning the other direction?
All that " he develops deep connection with PC", well, he develops it with anyone you play, as long as you choose to romance him. That doesn't change the fact that his prior history has him falling for men only, at least from what he tells us. And I think that he talks about both of them (Sebastián and the darling boy) with compassion and a former lover passion.
Of course, Astarion will talk to a PC with more passion and attachment, because you're here and now, and they are dead and in the past
