Yes, there isn't the on show castration, blatant rape scenes, etc. But a lot of these things are implied. Regina used Graham as a sex slave. Rumple married his indentured servant who might or might not be suffering from Stockholm syndrome. Zelena........just Zelena. Peter Pan is a horrible father who truly did seem to kidnap children (much like the original tale; look it up. It's actually a lot darker than the show. I wish they had just played it straight.) and seemed to have some sort of obession with little boys, the most innocent of which was arguably his Great grandson, whom he later killed so he could continue to live. Cora gives up her baby and just plain abandons it to an open field and an approaching cyclone. A LOT more has happened; those are just the lighter things. Arguably incest is the one place  this show hasn't gone, which makes me ask if it should.

After all, I need at least one thing to separate Regina's snark from that of Cersei Lannister. Perhaps it lies in the quality. OUAT is nothing like GoT. I wish it were, we would have got high quality writing and less annoying fandom. Sadly, it isn't. No, A&E certainly do not have George RR Martins form and characterization. But the subtext shows the same.....idea. Or at least hinting at the same idea. Personally I wish the same thing; stop sugar coating things and give us better storylines. I mean as I said if you were to read into the subtext a lot of the same story (okay.....minus the false princes and princess; Snow is legitimate. But as I thought of this, I pondered the war of the roses, and the fact that if we consider that, would Henry sort of be Regina's successor in a new dynasty? I mean, they had to go through a war to displace her, and technically the curse sort of undid the war for a time....so....isn't he a Prince through her as well?) is there.
