My Fairy Tail characters actually have a MUCH darker background than anyone here.

If your Fairy Tail characters experienced dreams that involved them getting murdered, castrated, and raped consecutively over and over again for over hundreds of years and then proceeding to murder children and bathing themselves in blood psychotically, then I humbly grace you with the title of "Edgemaster".

There's a difference between Candy Cain's naptime and Cynthia's actual history. 

[hider=Avert thine eyes, Hebi]
Cynthia is a dragon slayer who's dragon was murdered by her actual father. She then went mad, charging into the village and slaughtering every one of her father's soldiers before tearing out his heart. She now hates her own powers as a Dragon Slayer, but since it's the only way she has to defend herself now that she's sane again, she has to use them.

There's also a difference when the dreams were actually direct flashbacks, which actually [i][b][u]did[/u][/b][/i] get Shezmu to feel pain and experience everything. It's a loophole of nightmares artificially created, as Shezmu wouldn't have been able to feel what his family went through otherwise. (Thank Apophis for allowing Shezmu experiencing the loss of one's virginity without being able to control the body he was in)

And killing the unborn by slicing them in half before the parents' eyes might be psychologically traumatizing, if you ask me.
