This for me.

Far better to just write new ones, I agree.

Literally why not just make new ones
Old ones are reflective of their respective era. No point trying to rewrite history. Make some new stuff reflective of the current day

Why rewrite them? Write your own new stories.

Yeah but I don't think that's what they mean, the Cinderella original story was alot darker as the ugly sisters chopped bits of their feet off to fit in the glass slipper . And they got their eyes pecked out by birds .

So obviously that would of been too gory for a children's story so it was altered .

But when it comes to other stuff I don't think there's any need to make them based on the "modern woman" as they're called Fairy tales for a reason . They're fiction and it's all make belief .

I did a whole project in uni about Nursery Rhyme/Fairytale origins and was so shocked at most of them.

Like, Rapunzel was basically a sex slave in that tower.

Alot of the original Fairy tales have a darker grim side I think .
I much prefer the family friendly versions .

But aside from that ,I don't think fairytsles need updating as they're classics .

OMG that's insane . But like you said nursery ryhmes also had grim meanings as well , e.g ring a ring a roses is about the plague . You just wouldn't ever associate those things with children's stories and songs . It's interesting but bizarre at the same time .

Children aren't stupid. I loved Cinderella etc. when I was a little girl, never did I think that the stories were real or in any way applied to me. What people may need these days is a ****ing reality check.

What are we going to do next, rewrite Shakespeare? After all, he had a positively Elizabethan view of women.

Speaking of Cinderella, what always used to bother me is how the **** can anyone walk around in glass shoes?
