It wasn't in the film with Han, but they heavily hint at something with the droid.
Who hinted?
The droid was taking to Qi’ra in the falcon cockpit. She asked how that worked, and she replied in a dirty tone “Oh, it works”.
She was basically his sex droid.
They walked to the ship, the droid said something akin to the fact that Lando wanted her, much to Qi'ra's surprise. I took that and the exchange you mentioned as a giant pisstake by the droid, totally in character. Her pregnant pause, the only reason why she didn't roll her eyes was because she didn't have any

And you might have been right if the screenwriter didn’t come out and confirm Lando fucked the droid

As I said above, I didn't read anything going in. Even if he did, so what? It's space......

Besides being stupid and not relevant for Star Wars? It’s essentially a kids film series, not Westworld.
I mean it almost feels like a stunt on the part of the film makers. After following RSs Google search I found one article where the younger Kasdan was all in with the idea of Lando's sexuality. His dad was far more ambiguous, publicity stunt gone wrong?

Yep. Take what you can I guess.

He said the new movies are pretty good, which immediately makes his opinion worthless. But of course he focuses on the "racism" and the "mysogeny" and doesn't even both listening to what the fans are actually pissed off about. Weak arguments. Where have I seen them before?
What I find hilarious is people like this say "you take it all too seriously" yet you can guarantee if these films started containing the kind of politics they don't happen to agree with they'd be up in arms. You honestly think this guy would have no issue if the makers were pro-Trump and wanted to convey that through the films? Same goes with the hypocrites here.
Personally I don't want any of the political bullshit in these films, regardless of my stance. I'll take two films: American Sniper and Lone Survivor. The books those films are based on are very politically conservative and very critical of the media etc. Yet the films focus exclusively on the experiences of these guys, not their politics (nor even their religion).
Any genuine SW fan should be concerned about this. Don't believe me? Look at the Solo box office.

They can't accept that people don't like the new characters without putting some sexist/racist/misogynist spin on it.
It's much more simple than that. They're just shit characters.

It's total bullshit and I can't express how much it upsets me in particular.
I love strong, smart, independent women. I was together with one for 18 years. She was taken from me and I'd do anything to get her back. Now I'm doing my best to find another partner and I couldn't give a shit about her tits or if she can suck a golf ball through a hose, I want someone strong, driven, successfully and, above, all intelligent.
People like me (single dad with 2 kids, own business, massive stress) need a place to escape. Thats comes most often in the form of my beloved Canes and Allblacks but also through entertainment. It's not blocking out the outside world, it's simply taking a break from it. If I want politics (of any type) I can just leave the house. That shit is everywhere. SW is supposed to be a mindless space opera for kids and adults wanting to be kids for a couple of hours. It should not be a place where a bunch of activists try to inject their politics. It should be about good stories and characters, not about race or gender or fucking sexuality. Yes, I'm sure that there are probably millions of SW fans who are a bit sad and need to get a life but so fucking what. It's because of them and the thousands of dollars they spend on SW stuff that this thing is worth billions. Why the people at Lucas Films think it's a good idea to slander them is beyond me. They have legitimate concerns, so address them rather than get all butthurt and slander them as sexist or racist.
Clearly there has been an enormous backlash to TLJ. Sure there is a group of vocal trolls who write disgusting shit, but that's the internet. You only need a couple of dozen and everything goes to hell. Can anyone seriously claim that the millions who chose to not see Solo are nothing but sexist Nazis? If TLJ was any good they'd be going to Solo regardless of whatever Marvel had the previous week. And since when has Marvel been able to push around SW? Maybe since fans decided they have much better films? Just a thought.
Now can we please drop this bullshit and discuss the films on their merits? Is that too much to ask?

Rumours are starting to be reported that Kathleen Kennedy might be out. So there is hope that the identity politics might leave Star Wars.
Or people that think everything is identity politics are appeased?
Plenty of black/women/asian, even Arab like characters in the original series but no overly sensitive labelling of identity politics back then. The same people complaining now profess to like the old movies. Go figure.

You’ve already proven many times that you are blind to identity politics, mainly because you agree with it.
I’m sure it’s news to people that there were plenty of black or woman characters in the OT too, when it was one of the main criticisms of those films by the IP crowd.
