Bad things make money all the time. Appealing to the lowest common denominator is a path to profit if not to pride.

There’s plenty of point: THAT’S THE FREAKING STORY.

Not all bad things make money. Heck, BMX-XXX if anything LOST money, and that WAS a bad thing, due to essentially being a smut game.

As far as there being plenty of point due to it being the story, yeah, and constant sexual immorality and perversion, even pain and suffering was also the story of 120 Nights of Sodom by the Marquis de Sade, yet you’d be out of your mind to even use that as literature for even your teenaged offspring, let alone the age group fairy tales appeal to.

And there’s absolutely no moral or social lesson regarding an ogre prince waking up Sleeping Beauty by raping her and getting her pregnant, nor is there any moral lesson to a prince waking Snow White by accident by arranging for her to be delivered to his castle as a literal trophy wife. Having as much “moral point” to the story as most of Sade’s works. Red Riding Hood at least had a moral lesson with its horrific elements regarding avoiding “wolves” as in sexual predators.
