Ehhhh. Tricky. Robert is implied to have a troubled relationship with his father, and the DLC comics have his father engage in what some fans interpret as abusive behavior (telling an injured child to "get up" and not expressing much concern about the injury).

Robert recognize to having a complicated relationship with his father who was absent/neglectful.
To give an exemple; When a character tells Robert he met his dad once and had a 1h talk with him, Robert says it's a longer tall he ever had with him.

There is a dialogue option in the beginning of the game that implies Robert is in denial about the difficulties in his relationship with his father.

sexual comments are constantly made towards Robert, with him appearing disinterested. certain choices in Invisigal’s romance route can lead to Invisigal forcibly kissing him. in chapter 6, Malevola touches his groin twice without his consent. most of these scenes are played for laughs; the Invisigal scene is played straight, but depicted as desirable.

one choice can also lead to Phenomaman kissing Robert, although this at least isn’t done to take advantage of Robert (Phenomaman is an alien and doesn’t understand human social customs.)

Robert is consistently sexually harassed by Invisigal and Malevola, as well as being kissed suddenly at least a couple of times. It's often played for laughs.

Ep5: Twice in the Sardine Bar, audio only, no visible liquids. Most of the bar scene is safe — it's only a little after the bar fight begins.

First cue: Rob bites the fingers off a guy, then gets thrown into a bathroom. A stall opens briefly and you can see Coupe hunched over a toilet — she makes an audible gagging noise. No grossness visible.

Second cue: there's a big Avengers-style dolly shot backwards where you see all the heroes on screen having different fights. Coupe shows up with a drink in her hand, laughing, then ducks off-screen to audibly gag. No grossness visible.

Not really, but I would say there is queerbait. The devs were super vague about whether there would be queer romance options (instead of just admitting there aren’t any) and there’s a scene where the protagonist can be kissed by another man with no acknowledgement or follow up.
