If you think Rumple would push Belle out a window and then heal her and wipe her memory, why is Belle the one getting the flak from you?

The fact that you say that victims get more hate than criminals is not okay and is a profound statement on how messed-up our society is. And abuse relationships aren't just a person choosing to stay with a bad person, they usually can't leave 'cause the bad person threatens them or their family or manipulates them into thinking they are in the wrong and the bad person is in the right. Society shaming victims just seals the deal. I know Belle's not real, but we need to be more compassionate and sympathetic towards victims of abuse and people who are stuck in bad relationships due to emotional manipulation.
