Default Should fairy tales be rewritten to reflect modern women?

yeah i think it's important to move away from the typical base plot that a lot of princess-based fairy tales seem to have

simply just move with the times

They shouldn’t be rewritten no, that’s a ridiculous ask, just move with the times and create more up to date films for people to enjoy, we’re on a good track right now, with strong female characters in kids films, we can’t change the past, but we can always have a good future.

Nope. Write new stories if you don't like the old ones.

I can understand when people say "the princess should rescue herself", but I doubt even Luke Skywalker could break out of a locked room in top of a tower guarded by a dragon without help. If you want to be all modern, then write a story where the princess could feasibly save herself.

Even then, the old stories still have their merit. Snow White eating the poisoned apple shows Stranger Danger, even if the stranger appears to just be an innocent old bag.

but why shouldn't they have a rewritten version? older stories being transformed with newer, modernized plots is always being done in media so why not with these? again, it's not as if the older stories are going to be completely wiped from existence

Maybe we should write all new ones where the LGBT+QIGenderFluid prince is locked up in a tower and the Feminist Bi-curious Pansexual Two Spirit princes comes and rescues ‘them’.

Then we should have a book(and DVD) burning ceremony for the old ones and wipe any trace of them from the internet so we can all become ‘woke’?
