[Dark Trope] Implied child death

[u/Argie_Theft_Auto3]

• Family Guy - In a deleted scene, Evil Stewie is shown entering the bully's house and giving him a noogie. It seems rather harmless until Stewie mentions "Why's his knuckle turning red?" Then screams of the bully are heard, implying that Evil Stewie noogied his head so hard it punched a hole through the bully's head.

• Old (2021) - In a deleted cold opening, a man is shown crawling and shouting for help in the aging island. What makes this more terrifying is that this person could originally have been a baby or child, it's implied since he's walking on all fours

Witcher 3 - If you don't save them, the witches eat the orphans and even say something like "mmm tasty meat" during the fiend boss fight.

Bro I was wondering where the kids were I gotta pay more attention, I thought they’d be cool with the old lady taking care of them but obviously that doesn’t make sense 🥲

Such a good quest, because morally its right to save the kids, but the quest ends right there if you do. The game almost makes you choose to sacrifice the kids in order to continue the quest line proper.

Doesn't an entire town get destroyed if you save the kids?

[u/Soulful-Sorrow → u/A-Capybara]

Yeah, but it's a town that regularly sacrifices kids to demon hags in the woods
