'There is no need to type in all caps and bold. that is screaming.'

Please don't do that. Please don't instruct me on how to post whether with caps, bold, etc. It's a bit annoying and controlling to me.

'But there is a lot of character exposition on the show that absolutely applies irl. Regina not having to answer for mass murdering villages and other crimes does not necessarily apply. But giving people second chances (as Snow and Robin both did for Regina, and as Regina is doing for Zelena) absolutly apply. People can change. Yes, you should probably be cautious in these situations, but don't just blatently judge based solely on their past when there is evidence that they are trying to change.

I think Regina will be extremely conflicted (which is perfectly in character for her at this point). She will be tempted by her darker instincts (which, irl, we all are to some degree or another), but I feel that she has changed enough, and has a much better support system in place, that she will come throught this and be a stronger person. And there is plenty of room for her character to continue to grow. Remember, Regina herself said her happy ending is not defined by being with a person, it's defined by being comfortable where she is.' 

Why are so many fans obsessed with Regina having to pay the price for her mistakes and crimes? Why is it that so many fans refuse to say the same about Emma and the other Charmings? Not even Rumpelstiltskin get this much feedback about paying the price for his crimes, as Regina has received.

This doesn't even explain away for what happened in the finale. I think it's all BS. If Regina has to learn from loss, so do the others. But for some reason, Kitsis and Horowitz are not interested in allowing other characters - especially the Charmings - to learn from their mistakes and crimes. With the exception of Snow White.
