    Are children sick because they read fairy tales about wolves eating grandmothers or witches cooking and eating children? Of course not. It’s the same thing.

    Tbf, kids don’t normally seek out those stories. They were created by adults to scare children.

        They aren’t popular though. Modern kids don’t want to hear Hansel and Gretel, they want to watch Bluey. Because what kid wants to hear about a couple of German kids getting lured by a cannibal and eaten?
