Fantasies also do not have anything to do with real world morals unless you act on them, in which case they are no longer fantasies.

They literally aren't. Why are you saying this lol? That's not reliably true in pop culture or mythology. You were talking about a Celtic revival days ago now you're 100% dismissing all Celtic myth in favour of late-medieval/Renaissance English takes because they're convenient lol? What is going on?

That's not a fey elf, so you're doing a great job defeating your own argument lol. That's a Christmas Elf.

I think the argument here is that's a big break between "generic Western culture" and "fantasy fiction-adjacent culture". Within Nerdspace, elves are pretty much always Tolkien elves. Outside that, not so much.cough

Sure, but outside that they clearly split between "Christmas Elves" and "Fey" as two different and basically unrelated concepts, Fey being less common but certainly extant.
