But I do really think people are reading too much into this, because I can't quite figure a real life equivalent to finding out the person you consented to sleep with can shapeshift into a form you may or may not find attractive. Good points here. And yeah, I agree it is hard to apply real world logic to this, when the woman in question actually shapeshifted to look like a different person. Edited for brevity, but It's less about the mechanics and more about the storytelling apsects some have (in addition to societal woes).

Writers use a large social issue. Then, the writers have to have good payoff. A lot of people appear to be declaring the end unsatisfying due to the track record. Zelena and Robin were weirdly dealt with. It was clear that the writers showed it as evil and mentioned it in-show, but then they happened to kill off Robin when I think it was actually getting good. Then, there's things like the LGBT episode. We had a perfect setup with Mulan and Red...and we got a lesser developed Dorothy and a quick relationship and then they were booted offscreen.

So, in short, I don't think most are lookig for them to address all these issues in this show, but they could handle things better. (Come on, they were asked about Graham every other season and each answer progressively weirder, instead of ignoring it. Take OUATIW in which they addressed it fine, then Eddy goes out proclaiming "Nobody watched it!" every few months.)
