Rena Charming wrote: Supporting rape? Why would you say the show supports rape? Sigh, I can't with this. Lots of TV series show actual rape scenes. It doesn't mean they condone rape. Rape is just something that happens. It's horrible, absolutely horrible, but just because it's include in a story doesn't mean whoever wrote the story enjoys or tolerates it. People have been murdered on OUaT, murder is also pretty bad, would you say OUaT supports murder? Come on...! Stop being... that. It's annoying. Also, the whole rape thing with Zelena's baby is getting blown out of proportion as a whole. I think the real issue is that it gets glossed over. That glossing over and downplay of murder and rape (when it comes to the villains) is less beleivable than the CGI palaces. I don't think they support murder, rape, and et cetera. I simply believe it has been poorly handled so far.

Regina's thing with the Huntsman was glossed over and forgotten. Even funnier when you see Regina made at Emma for ruining her chance at love when Regina did the same thing by killing Graham. But to give them the benefit of the doubt, we have to wait and see how they will continue to handle this.

I love Regina and Rumple, but I don't go soft when they go all wobby eyed and "Woe is me!" You can't go proclaiming that Regina is a hero and doing all good things when she rarely gets to do so on her own. Of course, Regina is doing good now that she has everything. Regina's whole plan was shown as good when Regina's plan was to steal Marian's happiness for her own. That's just evil.

That all led to Zelena and this soap opera drama. Zelena getting punished, but Regina still walks the street. Same with Rumple. Regina's had more chances than a cat has lives.

Problem is downplay and glossing over. But this show does not support it.
