Personally for me it has nothing to do with Rumbelle...I wasn't impressed with his character from the get go...got nothing to do with being a villain or not having a backstory yet either. It's like they just took him out of The Pirates of the Carribbean instead of coming up with something original. He kind of just there for me...nothing special.

With that being said I can understand the hate coming from others...Rumbelle had a big following and even if you don't like Rumple...Belle was an innocent and it was Belle that Hook really hurt. Hook can say it was Rumple's heart  but never the less it was still Belle.
