    Jeet Heer Retweeted Ben Shapiro

    The original "centuries-old" version of the story, as codified by the Brothers Grimm in 1812 has Snow White be 7 years old at time of story (and biologically that age on marriage). The more modern Disney version made her more mature to make people more comfortable.https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1052726304615747584 …

        Also the "centuries-old version" had evil Queen "forced to step into the red-hot shoes [made of iron & heated in burning coal] and dance until she fell down dead." Not sure I would recommend it to kids.

        The interesting thing about mountebanks like Shapiro and Jordan Peterson is that they think the Disney version of fairytales is an accurate representation of ancient stories, rather than a heavily modernized 20th century version of old plots.

        Why we should appreciate the slightly less fucked up disney versions.

        I feel like one of the great fairy tale morals is if you are uncomfortable get out of there.

        Plus the version about the prince impregnating her while she still slept and only waking when the baby knocks the apple from her mouth?

        Ben is only interested in facts when they enhance his feelings of self-worth.
