This is actually how fairy reassignment works. Once the godkid turns 18, their memories of their fairies are wiped completely.

Ehhh. Many fans describe Timmy's parents as neglectful, and they're not wrong. Some episodes have neglectful behavior, such as not feeding a child so he must eat out of the trash, played for laughs.

Kinda? In "The Switch Glitch", Timmy wishes that he were Vicky's babysitter instead just to torment her, but ends up feeling bad about it.

Somewhat related - in S9E13 “Finding Emo” Cosmo disguises himself as a little girl (Missy) that Timmy has a crush on. While disguised, Cosmo askes to kiss Timmy on the lips, which Timmy says “yes” to because he doesn’t know it’s a disguise. Timmy is then grossed out after finding out he actually kissed Cosmo, and then laughed at. This is supposed to be played for laughs.

No, but a running gag centers around a female character harassing the protagonist and even attempting to kiss him when he clearly dislikes the attention. Another episode revolves around a female character slowly becoming more obsessed with the protagonist.

In the first episode where Timmy wishes to become an adult, he shaves offscreen and screams in pain. He comes back with tissues covering his cuts.
In Channel Chasers during the Blues Clues Padody, Jeff has a cut on his face and mentions he was trying to shave his 5 O'Clock shadow.

In a PG raterd version of "If I ever do X, shoot me." Timmy unironically imitates Crocker's "FAIRY GOD PARENTS" shtick before immediately saying "If I ever do that again, hit me." It'll probably go over a young child's head, but the implications are still there.

No actual slurs, but at least one episode has implicit homophobia in it: All women and men on Earth are separated from each other and as a result, Cupid almost dies because there's "no true love" left on the planet. The idea that mlm and wlw people exist isn't considered or addressed.

No, but a major episode plays a male character being pregnant for laughs, and another has the (presumably cis) protagonist gender-bent against his will. The series creator is notoriously dismissive of and disrespectful towards the LGBT+ community, and this is occasionally reflected in his work.

Cupid almost dies in one episode because there's no more "true love." Woth true love in this instance being described as a man and a woman in a romantic relationship. Considering the type of person Butch Hartman is, it's pribably intentional.

(UPDATED) Asian stereotype in the fairy idol episode (though this is based on a real person who sang “She Bang” on American Idol). There’s a Persian stereotype who talks gibberish in one of the episodes with Norm the Genie. In the episode where Timmy is inside a computer, there’s a Chinese stereotype with big teeth and closed eyes at a Chinese restaurant. In the episode with the laughing gas, Chinese people are shown with not only big teeth and closed eyes, but conical straw hats

There's an episode about how "true love" will die if it's not between a man and a woman and the creator is infamously homophobic and transphobic IRL.
