MCH is in a horrible spot right now. They probably don't wanna feel like a burden or have a bad time with negative attitudes. Sooo...yea.

So I can understand their wish to not deal with the drama, even if it was intended as a joke.

These two pretty much nailed it. There's no way of taking "Ew Bard" as sarcastic or 'just a joke' when you're just some random they stuck in with. How exactly are they to know that they weren't in for a veritable shit storm of berating?

Gonna crack jokes like these gotta be smarter about it. Use better phrasing, put a :V or <kappa> next to or following it. Something that isn't so flat.
