    More accurate help text for Wind-Up Moenbryda?

    For those who don't know, the help text for the Wind-Up Moenbryda is as follows:

    This anatomically accurate representation of Moenbryda was secretly crafted by none other than Urianger immediately following the untimely passing of his beloved companion. What he did with it before it passed to your hands is a tale best left untold.
    First time I read that, I cringed with borderline disgust. I found it really out-of-character for Urianger and SEVERELY demeaning for Moen. And at FanFest Bayohne was kind enough to spill the beans that what Koji-Fox came up with was NOT what the original JP text read. Normally I'm fine with harmless liberties taken with localization but this is just gross, creepy, and borderline sexist. (And I'm definitely not the only one who feels this way, I'm just the first one taking it to the forums. As far as I know.) So would the devs consider changing it to something more accurate to the original text, or at least to something more respectful to Moenbryda's character?

    EDIT: An easy way to make this whole scenario significantly less creepy would be to just take out the words "anatomically accurate." Those are the words that are really implying that anything gross had happened.
