    Some of the translations are way off or changed to suit what they want. Haurchefant is a prime example of it. Why did they feel the need to change it! If our boy is a perv let him be.

    because otherwise his character and death would've lost a lot of that meaning if the character you're supposed to be personal connected too happened to be Glenn Quagmire.

    Because that kind of character doesn't really sit well with everyone. Personally I find JP Haurchefant creepy and off-putting. The English version might just be a more "generic nice guy" character, but at least he's not actually offensive.

    A pervy character would honestly be ok for as some random side npc, but for an important character whom you get to interact with multiple times and have a prominent role in an expansion's story, yeah no, Japanese Haurchefaunt is one of those cultural exceptions where people would not be necessarily happy over him in other countries.

    Its the reason why they toned down those two pervy dudes in Persona 5 wanting to have relations with Ryuji. This kind of behavior becomes very creepy.

    Because some character types don't translate well to other cultures. While it's a common trope in anime, in English people tend to get easily offended these days so it's probably less of a headache for SE to simply change a character's personality instead of dealing with numerous people crying about some NPC that flirts and wants to get into bed with the player.
