    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.
