The Sun, Moon and Talia version has the cursed sleeping beauty being raped by the King!
Who is already married.

And people fuss about the non-consensual kiss in the other versions? Isn't the princes's kiss equivalent to mouth to mouth resuscitation?


The orignal Grimms didn't give me nightmares as a kid, but I needed brain bleach after a Terry Goodkind novel as an adult.
