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 …

It's a fairy tale, not a historical account. You should also complain that there weren't queens using magic potions either.

Fairytales "still operated on basic norms of the time around things like marriage" which is why princess often made decisions of matrimony based on shoes fitting and princess often married former frogs.

I didn't say story was about pedophilia. I said original story has an element modern audiences would find odd (SW being 7, and not being shown aging) and that Disney, for understandable reasons, changed that (by making SW more mature from the start).
