... is this from a reliable source?

The internet thought it was, but upon review it wasn’t for the WHY.  They are gone, and that was confirmed.  Title will be updated.

The way that I think the show would have added sex would have been more along the lines of implied rape. Yeah the fire nation was just kidnapping women from the water tribe to sit in prison...and nothing else. I don't think that Netflix planned on it being full game of thrones sex scenes, but would have more implied that darker shit ontop of a genocide did happen. At least that's how I read into it. 

From what I know of the creators is that they would just ham fist lgbt stuff into it like they're George Lucas with some cgi rocks. No problem if they know how to do it, but from korra and the expanded comics, they have no idea how to write gay characters without halting the plot to make it very clear that the characters are gay.

Comic Korra shows up with Asami, Korra's aunt calls them a cute couple. Have to stop the plot to address this, then brings up that she doesn't "announce" it herself. Gasp Korra never knew please tell more so we don't have to continue the plot! Then the aunt is like BTW Kiyoshi was bisexual and Sozen outlawed same sex relationships 100 years ago. Korra thinks that makes him the worst....not the genocide or 100 years of war, or betraying her past incarnation killing him. Also kinda ignores that laws that sozen makes only applied towards the fire nation. Didn't really account for the rest of the world. Also implies that people were more tolerant 100+ years ago...let that sink in. On top of which they halted plot for that subtle bit of pointless.

Pretty much the main way to piss off fans of things are innate stories that have nothing to do with the plot and retcons to established lore. This is why fans didn't like episodes like the divide to the point that the creators even acknowledged how pointless the episode was. Then everyone was mad with the retcon done with Avatar Wan the first avatar, once again subtlety is not their strength. Whole series different things were being used as the original teachers of bending. The moon, Badger-moles, Dragons, Sky Bison were the original masters....Nope it was lion turtles giving magic out like it's an aesop fable. Benders just learned how to do it better by watching those things.  You can't get bending powers from a badger-mole that is just silly you dumb idiot, now a lion-turtle that just makes sense. Also ignore Zuko finding the new "source" of fire bending from dragons!
