Why fairy tales are seriously messed up

I recently discovered how messed up some fairy tales are. Like, REALLY messed up.

Do not read unless you are willing to be semi-scarred

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, by the Brothers Grimm:
In the original, she wasn't woken up by a magical fantabulous kiss. The prince was stealing her coffin to do necrophiliac things to the corpse, but when she dropped it on the stairs the apple was dislodged from her throat. At Snow White and the Prince's wedding, the Evil Queen was made to dance in white-hot iron shoes to dance herself to death. She did.

Cinderella, by Charles Perrault:
The fugly Stepsisters were so desperate to marry Prince Charming that they wee willing to cut off the majority of their feet simply to fit into a glass slipper. If that isn't hardcore emo-cutting, I don't know what is(sorry if I offended anyone there). And even after this self abuse, at Cinderella's wedding they along with the Wicked Stepmother were blinded by birds.

Little Red Riding Hood, by Charles Perrault:
When she got to her Grandma's house, before she was eaten by the wolf, she ate some steak and drank some red wine. The wolf revealed to her that the steak was her Grandma's flesh and the red wine was her blood, and then proceeded to eat her. In this version, there was no huntsman to save them.

The Little Mermaid, by Hans Christian Andersen:
Once upon a time, there was a mermaid who wanted to date a human prince. So she sold her tongue to a sea witch and got a pair of legs and lady parts. When she walked she felt like cavalry swords were being stabbed into her feet, but it was worth it for the prince. However, the prince fell in love with another girl and the mermaid knew that if she didn't kiss him she'd disintegrate into seafoam like all mermaids. So her sisters shave their heads and sell their hair to the witch for a knife to kill the prince with. She epically fails, and jumps off a cliff to disintegrate into seafoam.

Rapunzel, by the Brothers Grimm:
After discovering Rapunzel's love for the prince, and of her pregnancy, the Witch shaved her head, kicked her out of the tower(literally), and made the Prince blind with thornbushes. Rapunzel went mad and lived in the desert where she gave birth to twins. The Prince stumbled upon her and she cried tears into his bloody eyes that helped him regain his sight. Must've stung, though.

Sleeping Beauty, by Charles Perrault:
She was asleep for 100 years. But while she slept, a king from a neighboring kingdom raped her and she gave birth to either twins. She awoke when one of them sucked the bit of spindle out of her finger. She then became a single impoverished mother.

Honorable mentions:
The Frog Prince, by the Brothers Grimm: She didn't kiss the frog, she threw him against a wall repeatedly.
Rumpelstiltzkin: Rumpels gets so mad at the end that he plunges his leg into the earth and grabs his other foot. He then proceeds to tear himself in half, leaving a bloody mess everywhere. Ew.

Back in those days, people must've REALLY hated children to tell them these sorts of stories.

And they all lived creepily ever after.

 

Aaaaaaaaaand look at good ol' Disney, making everything 100x more positive.

 

Just um... what... o~o

 

Rapunzel was the only happily ever after one...

 

What the

 

Well then....

 

Erm, explains everything? I guess....

 

Wow... Wat happen in those days, smeg?

 

Just watch Once Upon a Time :P Some of the things there are really messed up. Like The Evil Queen being the "mother" of Snow White. And Peter Pan traps Wendy on Neverland..... So, yeah :/
