TBF, the stories that Disney's been strip-mining for generations're crazy dark, originally.

  1. Sleeping Beauty woke to find she'd had two children, and now they were teens nearly as old as she was when she fell asleep. 🤮
  2. The Little Mermaid was double-crossed by a human princess last minute, and was turned into seafoam (died). 🥹
  3. ad nauseum...

They're so clearly puritanical propaganda from way back that I'm consistently disappointed with modern society for slurping up Di$ney's candy-coated versions that instill 99% of the same bullshit: stay at home forever, don't defy your father/mother, royals are the magic cure-all, you're born special (the world just doesn't know it yet), etc.

Between that steady stream of insidious hopium in the communal well and Religion® still holding global sway, I honestly have very little hope we'll avoid extinction by our own hands, NGL. It's not an if, it's a when. 😄🫣😶
