Should fairytales be banned for promoting unrealistic expectations and stereotypes ?

@Really Great answer.

@Really Do you mean that they should have some kind of content warning? Must we expect new editions of Alice to come plastered with statements that falling down rabbit holes is bad for ones health?

@ninalanyon [quote]Must we expect ....[/quote] I have no wish to control what you expect. That's your own affair 😆.

@SunshineGirl What, kids never having believed in Santa Claus, Tooth fairies, etc: That would be amazing, especially considering what some so-called adults actually believe.

@SunshineGirl I think when kids finally figure out they've been lied to it is bound to distort their trust in others.

@Really The kindergarten (barnehage) here asked my wife to have a word with No. 1 son and ask him to not tell the other children that there were no nisser and no Father Christmas. We had never given him the impression that such beings were real and when the other children started talking about them he took it upon himself to correct them. Apparently some of them found it distressing. They were all about four years old at the time I suppose.

I'm quite confident that they all grew out of the belief without any adverse effects.

@ArishMell How about outlawing the banning of the promotion of bans? Or maybe ...

@ArishMell 👍

@Really :-)

@Hanginginthere I concur.

@Nimbus seems like anything offends people these days

@Hanginginthere Far too easy and far too often.
