Basically, busting into a thread about fairies and going “THAT DOESN’T WORK BECAUSE IF YOU EAT FAIRY FOOD THE FAIRY OWNS YOU” is like busting into a thread about robots and going “THAT DOESN’T WORK BECAUSE IT’S AGAINST THE THREE LAWS OF ROBOTICS” – i.e., you’re treating an idiosyncratic feature of one specific storytelling tradition as though it’s a universal law, and you’re probably misunderstanding it to boot.
However, if you burst into a thread about robots aggrieved that the laws of the Fæ are going unobserved - or, conversely, if you feel the Æs Sídhe are dabbling in forces not three laws safe - I am deeply interested and wish to hear more on the subject.
You can’t eat the robot food because then the robot owns you
