She didn't wake up then either: it wasn't until she popped out one (or two, depending on the version) kids and one sucks on her finger that she finally wakes up.

did you til this in the comments section of reddit? Just curious, cus I did.

No; I read Reddit but I didn't see that cartoon. I just know a lot of medieval fairy tales because of a Muppet Magic class I took (Henson's daughter was big on them, and they led to projects like Dark Crystal and Labrynth).

Well moral of the story is: Once we changed a fairy tale because it was too offencive, now we've become so fragile and sure that life imitates art instead of art imitating life, that we made the fairy tail illegal.

BURN THE GOLDEN BOOK!

I just see it as progress. There once was a time when humans thought nothing was wrong with raping a sleeping woman (and telling kids about it). Then there was a time when kissing a sleeping woman without her consent was considered ok. Now we've progressed to understanding that no one deserves any kind of sexual act being done to them without their consent.

Humanity gets better over time, there's your real happy ending.

Feminism lead to Dark Crystal?

I had a poster of that movie, girls did not dig it, but weird, ketamised bisexual men did.

may I introduce you to the last time we thought this same behavior was progress because art contradicted social constructs:

LOL no, medieval fairy tales did. While Henson was doing the Muppets and Sesame Street his daughter went off to college and got really in to medieval fairy tales and other medieval stories. She came back and got Jim into them, and that's what led them to work on some very non-Muppety projects like Labyrinth and Dark Crystal.

I knew one girl who totally dug it ... but her name was Kira (she was named after the character in the movie), so I guess she was a little biased.

lol how do you not get it?

If you think life imitates art... so you destroy art... you are a book burning fundamentalist.

Let me explain it to you: Art imitates life.

Not the other way around.

This has been proven not only in the subprime court https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_...chants_Ass%27n but is the prevailing belief of everyone who isnt a fundamentalist.

Has a book ever had an impact on how you live your life? That's life being influenced by art. Art influences life influences art influences ... it's not a one way thing.

But again, huh? What does a supreme court granting video games art status have to do with Sleeping Beauty?
