This video does an alright job at explaining why the Localization is so different

[RyuDragnier]

Have you watched much British media...? There are definitely ways that Hauchefant could have been localised in a way that kept his forwardness without him coming off as perverted in the UK, instead of completely neutering his personality. I would also never describe British values and culture as puritanical besides regarding nudity. Other than that the UK is far more similar culturally to other European countries, such as France, than NA. Sincerely, a Brit that has lived in 3 EU countries and spent considerable time in a fourth.

But would such forwardness be taken well when your character is male? Remember, Haurchefant does this regardless of your character being male or female. Him doing it to a male would cause a lot of issues in the US and UK, due to how many people openly frown on anything even HINTING to same sex relationships.

I'm sorry, the EU and NA have issues with same sex relationships but in Japan they're completely accepted?

Do people in Japan froth at the mouth at the sight of it, or news stations going completely apeshit like idiots when games/manga/anime/shows/movies give the slightest hint of same-sex anything?

Do people in Japan froth at the mouth for ANY social issue? Or do they show their attitudes towards people who don't conform to social norms in other ways?

I don't know, you tell me, you're the one who brought up Japan to begin with, I thought you'd know.

What, and lose face? Come on, there is a reason they have the "you know what" forest. :/

...Him doing it to a male would cause a lot of issues in the ... UK, due to how many people openly frown on anything even HINTING to same sex relationships.

You haven't watched much British media then? *unusual* characters have been a mainstay of British comedy for generations.



There are ways that Haurchefant could have been dealt with for pretty much all native English speakers.

Nothing this extreme, of course, as i don't think Haurchy in 2B bottoms would be dignified, but there are ways that his personality could have been truer without triggering insecure males;

Correction accepted on British values.

Unfortunately, you're stuck sharing localization with the US where it just wouldn't fly past our notoriously conservative ESRB.
