This sounds like a subtle irony for those who have not yet gotten the punchline.

Cut out snowflakes?

Entirely verboten, because scissors = trigger event.

Even Do-bee blunts...

Aside from being very rude, has she been diagnosed as a frustrated inept sociopath? Showbiz folk?

Should have put in a leashed plus size toddler harness and dragged him/her out for walkies to a nearby hydrant.
