 * cracks knuckes* let's do this.

Basically, this show has huge issues with consent, and it affects pretty much every character except Henry. There have been 11 cases of rape on the show and around 20 counts of sexual assault. Only two of these (Robin's rape and Hook's TLK attempt of Emma) were ever treated as such, and it's not like they were handled well, poor Robin was forced to trutst his rapist and then killed off while she got custody of their child. It seems that the writers do not realise that what they have written was assault.

It also sucks at handling abuse. There's what you said about Belle going back to Rumple and then Henry having a TLK with his abuser and how Regina's redemption arc was handled in general. They also had Killian jump off a roof to get Emma's attention, which was gross and disgusting.
