      I was a little nervous to make that joke, not gonna lie, but I gambled that folks would realize I was just punning about fae stealing a feminine person’s name and not trying to be mean.

        Got a chuckle out of my. IMO good comedy is very much about intent. You can say something offensive and legitimately funny, that’s comedy. You can also say something extremely offensive/racist and actually mean it though the delivery may be kinda funny. Not comedy.

      Context.

      You talkin about the magic and whimsy of someone?

      Or you trying to belittle them for not being toxicly masculine enough?
