You didn't hit a nerve at all, but you need to understand that when you put anything out where others can see it, there's going to be a reaction. Maybe good, maybe bad, but a reaction regardless. It's a lesson I learned a while ago, so if I ever post anything that can be taken badly, I prepare for a debate from someone. (But, I tend to like talking to people to learn of differing views, so I'm okay with it.)
Fairy tales, Little Mermaid included, were often morality tales. If one cannot relate it to real life, it has failed to do what it was meant to do. There's plenty of pointless entertainment out there, Disney tends not to be in that category - unless you watch its current t.v. shows. UGH. But, that's something I'm okay not discussing.
