This frequency of English localization issues is unacceptable

It's not "movements policing content in video games", it's a general shift in cultural and societal values brought on by these movements that will of course have lasting effects on popular media.

SE LITERALLY admitted that the way they went about making the changes was wrong, in addition to the fact that the changes themselves deprived the fanbase of a compelling and entertaining character. It wasn't a matter of pandering, it was a matter of "oh, hey, we screwed up and people are mad. Not just a vocal minority, but a lot of people from all across the world are mad."

And are you sure that these movements had the effect that you claim that they have? It seems more or less like a vocal minority of people from Twitter, Tumblr, and ResetEra with a bunch of paid journos who work with big publishers and developers to market things. People just don't like being shown things that offend them and try to link it to real-world issues because they have no real arguments.
They allow their dislike or discomfort with a certain subject or concept overwhelm their ability to distinguish between that concept and matters are concept-adjacent, and assume that any tolerance or acceptance of something that is adjacent would be misinterpreted as welcoming acceptance of it outside that context, which is always something that they're wrong about.
This is why you keep referring to Haurchefant's written actions as 'sexual harassment' despite the fact that it's a comedy bit in a foreign video game and not a serious depiction of harassment. If the writers wanted to convey him as a sincere sexual deviant who relishes in the discomfort he causes, then they would have done so by having the other characters treat it as such, not hand-wave it like the audiences is expected to.

It's not like game developers and content producers aren't aware of how frail they are, that's why they keep making 'problematic' content which deliberately upsets them so they can cash in on controversy.

Again, the phrase of the discussion is 'media literacy'. You deliberately cast that aside in favor of moral grandstanding.

Consumers want a game that is well-written, entertaining and aligns with their values, gaming companies want to sell games and make money. Everyone wins.

You can still have content like the canon Haurchefant and still have it align with values of sexual harassment being bad. It's a video game, not real life. It's not pro-unwanted sexual advances, especially when it's done so in the name of comedy. Haurchefant's iteration was well-written. He was a good comic-relief character, a welcome thing to have following the drab and dreary broader atmosphere of the setting he was presented in. He lightened the mood. In the EN text he comes off as vague and uncomfortably 'personal', and gives me the feeling that he has ulterior motives. The whole thing felt weird and uncomfortable, and it obviously wasn't how he was initially written.
