The thing about fairy tales is that we never know which one we're in. Disobeying her husband's request destroys everything in "Cupid and Psyche" variants, but it saves the woman's life in "Bluebeard". In Andersen's "The Wild Swans", the archbishop's investigation of Eliza leads him to wrongly condemn her for magic--yet if someone had done the same to Eliza's stepmother, they could have stopped her before the princes were turned into swans. These characters are doing what they deem best on limited information, and sometimes they're right and sometimes they're wrong, but the important thing is that they bravely face the consequences.

This applies to horror movies as well.

October 3, 1992:  Sinead O’Connor appeared on Saturday Night Live singing an  acapella cover of Bob Marley’s song “War”, changing some of the lyrics to include references to child abuse, and ending the performance by tearing up a photo of Pope John Paull II and saying “fight the real enemy”.

This ruined her career and she was telling the truth, as we all came to find out years later.

Please remember she didn’t consider it as a career ruiner. 

To speak on how it “ruined” her career ignores her own feelings on it. Please acknowledge how she felt about it, instead of how you see it.
