But the whole point of Cinderella wearing glass slippers was to tell the reader that she takes small, dainty steps. I mean, that's  If anyone else tried to wear them, they'd be torn to shreds, but she was so delicate and feminine she could literally walk on glass.I mean this is an era which gave us "The Princess and the Pea" where a perfect woman was supposed to be so sensitive she could feel a single pea beneath fifty mattresses.

She was wearing shoes made of "vair" in the original French, which is really fancy fur usually only worn by the aristocracy. There seems to have been some confusion with the homophobe "verre," meaning glass. I like your interpretation better though.

Also too many syllables to be realistically yelled by gate guards. And to be honest, I also found several of those comics to be very offensive. It's crude humor.

I feel like not having shemales in comics is excluding them and imo exclusion isn't right.

There are so many different versions of the old fairy tales, I'm not surprised everyone has heard different versions.

It is however, nonsense in Russian, as plural of a "друг" (droog) is "друзья" (dryzia). Looks like some English speaker heard a foreign word and had no idea how to pluralize it. It is not a word that ever existed in Russian language, even as slang.
