I mean German fairy tales try to maximize Schadenfreude. Bad things happen to bad people - which is fun. Sure, the "bad things" are horrific but children don't mind that usually.

I definitely remember reading a bunch of gruesome children stories as a child (and they were great)! Struwwelpeter and Max und Moritz are two funny children books with a couple of deaths.

Eh, the original version was basically pre-internet porn fanfic. Brothers Grimm cut out most of the x rated stuff. Disney cleaned it up further with a lot of bleach to get the smut and kink off and made it into movies.
