Is rape really worse than murder and torture though? Both of which we have seen multiple instances and explicitly in the show, unlike the "rape", which mostly takes place bts.

Shouldn't we look past the labelling and focus on the actual trauma suffered by the victims? Even if Zelena did technically rape Robin by tricking him into sleeping with her, how is it any worse than Rumple torturing him after catching him stealing from the castle? Which act do you think caused more psychological and physical damage to Robin? And yet Robin still saved Rumple when he was about to die of his blackened heart without mentioning what happened between them. How come nobody brings up the torture that Rumple did to Robin?
