Timelines will change fairy tales

If fairy tales were created today, they would likely be drastically different from the traditional versions we grew up with.

Modern sensibilities, social awareness and the shifting landscape of culture would significantly shape these stories. How sad.

Gone are the days of helpless princesses waiting for a prince to save them. Today's fairy tales would feature proactive, self-sufficient protagonists. Cinderella wouldn't sit by the fireplace, lamenting her misfortune - she'd start a side hustle selling vintage shoes, build a social media empire, and ghost the prince after a Tinder date. Snow White would probably run a wellness blog on clean eating and charge the dwarfs rent.
