== The Fair Folk (as we think of them) didn't let themselves get Disneyfied, they just went underground and let other races do the PR work for them. ==
Santa's elves? German brownies. Nobody finds out what happens when they don't get paid because Nicholas/Chris isn't that stupid or cruel, and they have no need or want to go to the television stations of the people who make films about elf strikes being unionized or not effective enough. The Tooth Fairy is all that remains of an anti-legend for beings that steal teeth from the garbage or the ground for sympathetic magic, so the children needed to dispose of them in a way that would make it difficult for the fey to get at them; More recent times have parents outright telling the kids to leave the teeth for the "Tooth Fairy" because they don't ken the power of words and intent. Most of the Fair Folk live underground these days, either literally in the case of more feral earthbound races and those who find [[The Dresden Files|abandoned human subways interesting places to set up court]] or metaphorically in the case of those who stop leaving the pet flap open on their hills to keep the squishy, easily-confused, two-legged toys from getting in as often.<br />The Green Movement, if they've noticed, is simply telling them that all they have to do is wait for us to willingly give up [[Magic Versus Science|iron]]... [[Discworld/Lords and Ladies|of]] [[Our Fairies Are Different|all]] [[I Love Nuclear Power|kinds]]. Since we've [[Disneyfication|mostly forgotten about]] [[The Fair Folk|the old ways]], [[Paranoia Fuel|it's only a matter of time]]...
* If this is at all accurate, then writers like [[Terry Pratchett]] whose works contain a fair bit of information on anti-fairy measures have done us all a great service.
 
== [[Mary Sue|Mary Sues]]s ace actually subspecies of [[The Fair Folk]]. ==
UnnaturalyUnnaturally beautiful? Check. [[Reality Warping]] powers that bend the canon to their will, and makes sure their stories go in their favor? Check. Perfect in almost every way, and thus completely inhuman due to a lack of flaws and relatable traits? Check. With all this evidence from thousands of fanfics, we can safely guess that Mary Sues are avatars or disguised members of the Fey race, whom insert themselves into a story to toy with mankind (and canon) on a more personal level. [[Mary Sue Hunter]] s defeat these creatures by exposing plot holes, bad grammar, and characterization mistakes: similar to how some characters defeat main members of the Fair Folk by using their own words against them.
