If they stank, why make money? And besides, there’s zero point in showing kids Snow White being planned to be used as a literal trophy wife or an ogre prince actually raping Sleeping Beauty to wake her up, especially when they serve absolutely NO life lessons at all and is just pointless cruelty for the sake of showing the world as an irredeemably cruel place. Even if you might have a point with that fairy tale about the guy who cuts thumbs off of kids who suck on them, there’s literally NO point behind the bit regarding Aurora and Snow White’s treatment in the Grimm fairy tales, period. In fact, Rape is actually one of the worst evils and never to be encouraged, period, and the Grimm versions sound closer to encouragement rather than just a warning. Now, Little Red Riding Hood by Charles Perrault DID act as an actual warning on rape.

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.
