So you see nothing problematic in a rape victim being told to trust his rapist and then getting killed so said rapist can have custody of his child?

I am not blaming Zelena or Regina, I am blaming the writer for throwing a victim of rape under the bus to prop up the rapist. Saying "victims do not matter as much as their abusers" is not good.

My point is, these writers handle abuse plots badly.

I'll use another example you probably won't argue with: Killian jumping off a roof to get Emma's attention. As a hardcore Killian/CS fan, this was an atrocious writng choice and shows their complete ignorance on abuse related issues, to have Killian manipulate Emma in a way very common to abusive relationships.

I am not trying to demonise any character,  I am trying to point out this show is terrible at handling abuse, which is a serious topic.
