I am quite content with the original wording and consider it playful and humorous, as was the thing that triggered this little aside. If anybody is going out of their way to misconstrue things as some flavour of offensive or at least unpleasant then that falls to you.
On making sense then I would maintain it is a fairly standard response to sequels, adaptations, continuations, asides, spinoff games and whatever else that people don't like and choose to ignore. What you describe sounds more like some kind of official (by the owners the IP or its creators) canonical reworking, which is also a thing when writers paint themselves into a corner but different as theoretically they have a real say* where the fan stuff is largely just that**.
*which would probably lead us into the whole trans thing mentioned earlier as there was some debate as to whether the wachowskis were talking out of their arses when only a little while back they claimed it featured transexual themes (and from where I sit such claims were bloody thin at best). However authorial intent vs reader interpretation is probably a subject of a different thread.
**adaptations feeding back into the original work has happened, and with stuff in the public domain then that can also supplant the original for what most think of when something is mentioned. The English language tends to be about a collective agreement on the meaning of words (descriptive, as opposed to prescriptive for which you probably want to look at something like French) and by extension I guess a fan theory could become so accepted as to supplant the original, don't think I have ever seen it though and even without the threat of copyright issues (
https://grrm.livejournal.com/151914.html covers a few, though generally see fan works agreements for even the more permissive things) I don't imagine I will.
