Kilyle: Peter Pan actually kills things? What's your source? (Not 'cuz I'm challenging your facts... I actually want to read where it says this and the context thereof.)
Rennie: Removed this paragraph:
"Peter has lured all the Lost Boys away from their mothers and given them his eternal youth, at the cost of their memories of home. They even forget their names. Every time they do remember something of their families they grow a little older. When they get too old Peter kills them, but does not remember afterwards."
because as far as I know, it is Not True. Boys arrive at Neverland after they've been lost or misplaced on the Mainland, at which point they're shipped off to Neverland to "deter expenses" after a week of being filed away. I think the passage in the book goes along the lines of (paraphrasing, pardon me) "the number of Boys on the Island varies, as they get killed and Peter thins them out when they get too old." Not that Peter
kills them when they get too old, but that they die of natural causes (PIRATES, after all) and that they will tend to age, and Peter banishes them from his band. I think the bulk of the paragraph is false. Find us a source or edit accordingly.
Danel: I suspect this:
- Disneyfication - The original book makes mention of fairies coming home "from an orgy".

Have A Gay Old Time instead... anyone got a little more context on the quote?
"The little house looked so cosy and safe in the darkness, with a bright light showing through its blinds, and the chimney smoking beautifully, and Peter standing on guard. After a time he fell asleep, and some unsteady fairies had to climb over him on their way home from an orgy. Any of the other boys obstructing the fairy path at night they would have mischiefed, but they just tweaked Peter's nose and passed on."
Considering the older meaning of the word, at the very least it implies a wild party with drinking and dancing and so forth. Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens also specifies that fairies drink wine and dance, so it can't be seen as more innocent than a drunken party, even if it wasn't sexual.
It should also be noted that Tinkerbell's cheerful jingling translates, on several occasions throughout the book, to "You stupid ass"
