A lot of things that look simple on the surface are fucked up if you analyze them further.
Yeah I don't really know what you're getting at this is just supposed to be a funny thread with maybe some slight criticism of our society's views on morality.
Oh are we diagnosing/categorizing/outgrouping people based on their responses to children’s literature now? Flawless.
Of course you could have anxiety and not overthink it, but I sure as hell overthunk it as a kid with anxiety. I was just saying it wasn't a universal experience not to overthink things. I'm sorry I communicated that in a bad way that was deeply insensitive and wrong.
My first reply was going to say "no, it's entirely a story about liberation" but you got me to think about it more and how it kinda runs with a bunch of black-and-white Dickensian tropes.
Did you read The Twits as a kid? It's not as well-known but it is definitely an example of Roald Dahl writing some fucked-up stuff, like a step-by-step description of how to gaslight your spouse.

yeah, the message of the movie is pretty much objectively good just like Dicken's novels but if you decide to apply an analytical cultural cross-section of it for... Some reason, it comes across as weird. But I know that most people don't do that because doing that is also weird, but I was a weird ass kid. Sorry again for being a sarcastic shit

Different people react differently to the same things. For instance, as a kid I got all concerned about stuff in Winnie The Pooh, but not in CATCF.
Mr. Twit does a thing to Mrs. Twit where he tries to play on her fear of shrinking, so he slowly makes table and chair legs longer until they're much bigger in proportion to her. And a bunch of other stuff, there's large amounts of animal cruelty in there too.

Makes sense, I think I freaked out about Winnie the Pooh at least once too
