In light of Tabby's trip, today's fandom is DISNEY
Lets go back to the original Disney princess: Snow White!
In the original story, the evil queen tries to kill Snow using more than the Huntsman and a poisoned apple. In the original, the queen disguises herself as an old peddler and tries to sell Snow a bodice, which she laces so tightly that Snow is unable to breathe and faints. The queen leaves her for dead, she is however saved by the seven dwarfs just in time! The next day, the evil queen sells Snow a poisoned comb, she is yet again revived by the dwarfs.
When reading the story I began to think Snow was kind of stupidly naive. After THREE attempts on her life, she still takes food from a stranger and is poisoned... again. Of course the queen tricks her by eating half the apple (the non-poisoned side of course) but nowadays? YOU DON'T TAKE FOOD FROM STRANGERS! Heck! We were told from a young age not to even speak to strangers... mind you, then most of us ended up on the internet. I suppose this is a story that teaches young children a valuable lesson; if it seems too good to be true? It probably is!
