a lot of older fairy tales involve cutting stomachs open and putting things in them and that weirds me out a little
I personally blame disney for making the tame versions be the mainstream ones. I like the peter pan where peter is the only one who is young forever and kills the lost boys when they get too old. I like the cinderella where her sisters cut off their feet to fit the slippers and get picked and pecked by cinderellas birbs. Those are the real versions and they are awesome.
