As a homosexual and a female, I completely disagree. The EN Loc team explained it had to do with the translations and cultural differences with Japan. If it had to do with Haurchefant being bisexual and into the WoL then why did FR and GE teams also follow suit? These are European teams that are not American. Further more, the EN team does not translate solely for America, but for other Anglo countries that are also more open towards homosexuality. However, us hitting on girls allows lesbians, like myself to enjoy hitting on the ladies. It also keeps us closer towards the JP team, where this type of interaction culturally acceptable. This has nothing to do with fake feminism or token lgbt activism. Your attitude, however, is probably one of the backlashes that the EN team feared with Haurchefant being too 'invasive' or 'problematic' or '#Haurchefantisrapingmewithhiseyes'. Do you understand what potentially the type of backlash Haurchefant could have governed from a certain group of people? I love him, but if he was in his original Japanese form, I wonder if your words would be the same towards the dev team after so many would be up in arms because Haurchefant was giving their female WoL unwanted attention.
