Ahhhhh, fairy tales, sweet sweet fairy tales. A very wise Steemian 
In this day and age of instant technological access fairy tales are not as popular as they once were. Oh sure, the Disney movies of today are the fairy tales of tomorrow. Every tale told by Disney seems to go down in history as a lesson in life. From overcoming obstacles to finding your true love to being a badass mermaid, they've got the whole gamut covered.
Now the fairy tales of the past, that's where it's at. Disney won't even re-make some of these classic thrillers.
Remember Hansel and Gretel? Their mother left them in the middle of a forest because they ate too much and didn't leave enough for her and her husband to eat. WTF? Then they meet a witch in a house made of cookies and candy and THAT BITCH WAS GOING TO EAT THEM. She was going to make some Hansel and Gretel pie (a real favorite around the holidays). Notice how most of that story had something to do about eating. Those Brothers Grimm were some hungry dudes.
Don't even get me started on Little Red Riding Hood. The wolf (probably the same bastard who blew the 3 Little Pigs houses to shreds) ends up eating both her and her grandmother and the happy go lucky Woodsman comes along and tears open the wolfs' belly and gets them out, alive to boot. I guess it's a good thing wolves don't have a very complex digestive system.
Even the old Disney classics were full of murderous plotting. Remember Snow White and the poisonous apple? Now it's all tame compared to those old time tales. Everything is so PC. No more boogey man to slit your throat if you don't come home before dark. Tsk Tsk, sad times.
So the next time you feel bad for letting your kids watch TV or play video games for too long just remember that the parents of old used to tell their kids some really jacked up fairy tales to keep them in line.
