I barely knew who Urianger was in ARR and that joke was still a turn off.
The joke didn't explicitly imply anything - it was suggestive, though entirely left to the player's imagination. As such, it could be as innocent or as dirty as one willed for it to be.

I disagree that it wasn't mature or gritty, on the basis that the English version of the game's localisation is meant to serve a broad range of players from many different countries, cultures and backgrounds. A broad variety of jokes would be ideal, instead of the stale and very prudish approach taken as of late.

I'm pretty sure the age rating at the time of purchase also included a disclaimer accounting for such humour. Though as Kizuya kindly pointed out, this seems to be little more than a repeat of what befell Blizzard in its quest to try and partake of excessive censorship and virtue signalling.

I have a feeling that Garlemald was quickly written out of the story for similar reasons. It's not like this game's community is lacking for a sizeable portion of nutters who actively harassed anyone who liked the 'wrong' characters, after all.
