I'm just expressing my rant on the people who seem determined to find any reason to hate the show or stop watching it and spread their hatred towards it. I just don't get it. Yes, the stories are sometimes weak or could've been written out better and yes, there were moments that pissed me off  and yes there have been moments or episodes that felt rushed but there has never been one moment that would've made me stop watching the show entirely. I mean just because a favorite character leaves or a storyline doesn't play out the way someone wants it to or there's a character that comes onto the show that someone doesn't like people will mark the show as the worst show ever created. I swear I feel like a large majority of the viewers are hardcore perfectionists where if something isn't played out exactly like they want it to, they walk out. I never expect any show to be perfect and I know any show is victim to some criticism but good god, I have never seen any show recieve such a hard bashing like this one has. At least not a show that deserves it. Everywhere I go, I see "everything from seasons 3 and on have sucked" or "I'm only here for Drizella" or "I'm only here for Captain Swan" when talking about the series finale or "the stories are so weak" or "this show needs to be cancelled" or "this show should've ended a long time ago" or "the acting sucks" or "my favorite character is gone I'm leaving" or "my favorite ship is gone I'm leaving." I mean with all the hate the show has gotten, I'm surprised IMDB hasn't rated it a 2.0/10 or lower. Not that the show deserves it but you'd think a large majority of the so called Oncers would go on there and rate it that since they hate it so much. I mean sometimes I wonder if people forget that OUAT is a family-friendly show that's run by Disney so of course there's gonna be cheesy moments or storylines that might come off as kinda weak or not as intense. It's not like those other popular series that are rated TV-14 and up that's meant for an older audience. Frankly, that's what I like about OUAT. It's not for a specific age. Little kids can watch it, teens can watch it and adults can watch it. That's my favorite type of show. The show that everyone can watch. There's cheesy sweet moments and there's super intense moments. There's gonna be moments that the older audience won't like and find too sweet and cringey and there's moments that might be too dark for the kids. I just wish people wouldn't find any little reason to hate the show. I wish they would do what I do and just not think about the things that bother them and just find some positivity on the show that they can focus on. For example "I wish Emma was more evil during season 5A but it was still fun to watch her have some evil moments even if it was an act" or "the Queens of Darkness arc could've been played out better but it was fun seeing Cruella, Ursula and Maleficent work together" or "the series finale felt rushed and merging the realms together sounds like a bad idea but it's so good to know everyone got their happy ending and at least like Regina said, because of the realms merging together, no one will ever be seperated again." I know I'm sounding like Mary Poppins where I want everyone to be nice and not be mean and be positive but really I just wish people could not bash on a show that while isn't perfect, it's a show that sends out such a positive message.

I know I posted a rant like this before but I can't remember if I posted it on here or another site so sorry if I'm repeating myself. This isnt about just the show,this is how fans react to other films or forms of media:if it has good music,plot,charcters and locations then fans will love it but if something is missing or something is seriously wrong with timeline or just that plot itself sucks like (Fifth/Sixth Dark Curse) it is boring or now in 7x22 United Realms wich are a huge mess that fans just think that they are stupid,boring and unecessary for the show.Thats just how it is mate,for me OUAT ended with perfect finale at 6x22 and thats it.Season 7A,7B,timeline of Wish Realm,NFTL should have been reserved for Henry spin-off set in the future not in past and not  having to involve "United Realms arch".But like you said there are sweet moments as well as worst moments of the show.
