Well, there aren't that many of them ... I think IRL if it were an error, it would be a "laugh with" kind, not a "laugh at" kind, and wouldn't make anybody decide they didn't like it, if they did like it. And if it were meant to invoke animal grace, I would think 'welp, I hope that's because they don't see it the way that I do.' Just because I'm embarrassed doesn't mean I think they ought to feel embarrassed. Off topic rant: I react less badly to Gazelle, than to Fox as a name! Maybe because at least Gazelle does kinda recall a real name, with the elle ending - the connotations are vague and allusive, while Fox is surnamey and trendy, and literally the slang to refer to a person whose most relevant trait is sex-appeal, and also used in funny puns because it sounds a lot like a vulgar word.
