Is that a word anyone uses? While I had no idea it was considered a slur, I also don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone use it.

Seems like a one-time thing, if he had a pattern of being a POS it would be different.

Tbh most people would probably find it flattering now

Its not really that fey is a slur (IDK if it is and I’m bi) but that he said “That’s the problem” afterward. Like, saying its unfortunate that hes the gay dude of the power rangers and that the gay guy got named after him is a problem. Its a very “your dad is kind of homophobic” level but its still shitty.

Alright I found what you were talking about and like yeah okay, still not exactly cancel-worthy.
One time thing, it happens.

Fey was used sometimes back in the day, but like it was fucken sparse even then. Honestly I legit wonder if he was going for something specific with a farefolk comparison cause that seems weirdly more likely.

Exactly. I’ve always thought it was a pretty neutral adjective for a nonbinary person. Shit, if someone called me “fey” I’d be pleased as punch.
