Will you please stop trivializing, what rape and rape-culture are! Will you please stop apologizing for the show? Excuse me? I am apologizing for OUaT, because I reprimanded you for trivializing a serious crime?

Rape is unlawful, unwanted, and forced sexual intercourse. Rape culture is a society or environment whose prevailing social attitudes have the effect of normalizing sexual assault and abuse. It is a culture where rapists not only go unpunished, but are considered heroic for what they have done. I haven't said anything about rape, I don't know why you are bringing this up. Do you deny that Emma have said multiple times "No" to Hook in 3B? Do you deny that he kept insisting? Doy you deny that by the end it was played as if Emma said No because she didn't understand her own feelings and not because she wasn't really interested? Do you not understand that that is not what rape-culture is? None of that is sexual assualt or abuse. For that reason you were trivializing a serious term, since it does not apply to this situation.
