A petty rant about fairytales
I hate those cynical "This will ruin your childhood" posts about original/earlier versions of fairytales with a burning passion. They exagerate the hell out of those stories simply for the sake of being edgy, completely ignoring both the context in which those classics were written and what the story is actually trying to comunicate.
They also never mention the fact that although yes, the original tales can be more grafic or morbid, they have a generally positive messaging and most have a happy ending.
I think The Little Mermaid is one of the greatests victmins of this. It's a beautiful story and it irritates me a lot how people completely undermine everything about it but the parts that are "disturbing".
