I assume he's talking about the magypsies. Aside from their name not being the most PC thing nowadays, they're human-like but "neither man nor woman." In practice, this means they look and act like particularly flamboyant drag queens.

It's kind of debatable about whether they're negative or positive representation. Some people believe they're just horrible stereotypes and they're not exactly wrong. But the magypsies are also quite heroic characters and their demeanor and physical appearance are never criticized. I lean more towards it being positive, especially taking into account the time the game came out.

They can't. The magypsies are a major part of the storyline.

They could easily change the name and design a bit. Theyve done it before.

I guess they could just make them women.

But that'll just piss even more people off lol.

This is a lose-lose situation. The game is already super niche and the crowd who would actually buy it would be pisses about the game being altered. Especially if those alterations are heavy. If they keep the game the way it is, it will assuredly draw controversy.

I believe Nintendo would rather bury the game then deal with the possible anti-LGBT controversy that could come from knowing that game.
