I also feel like some fans' angry/bitter responses to the show continuing could have been a factor in the show's cancellation. Back when Adam answered questions on Twitter, there was a certain group of accounts that constantly trolled him complaining about how awful they thought the show had become or why did this get character get one thing and not another character etc, etc. When season 7 became a thing, there were accounts claiming that they were going to boycott the show since to them, no Emma=no OUAT. I think that these sorts of fans were angry at Jen for deciding not to return, but refused to direct their anger at her so they blamed Adam and Eddy for her departure. Those who had become bitter and vindicative about the show's writing believed that if they thought the show was bad, then so must Jen because she left. Even though Jen had stated that she is very loyal to the show and was overall happy with how Emma was written. There are also fans who no longer enjoy the show, but still continue to watch just for the sake of making fun of it and tearing down the writers and characters.
