    This reminds me of classic Everquest, in which some players argued that Ogre players were better because for a long time there was a bug compelling the guards of their own home city to try to kill them.

    Theres a fun Russian Fairy Tale, Vasilisa, that has a young girl with an evil stepmother who does everything in her power to kill Vasilisa including sending her directly to the child-eating evil witches house with her talking human skeleton fence, 3 armored knight familiars, and 3 sets of severed hands. Nothing works and instead the stepmother and stepsisters die in a fire. Sometimes Vasilisa marry’s a king but that part of the story isn’t consistent.

        The weirdos that now roam the internet making furry fanfic and whatnot were the ones making up fairy tales in the past. Same fuck ups, different medium.

            The brothers Grimm were more like guys on forums look at weird shit and going “Well ain’t this fucked up.” The brothers Grimm were simply anthropologists of their contemporary, also according to their research Odin is fucking everywhere and was still fucking with folks long after the Christian god took root mostly through the Wild Hunt.
