The only one who got truly defeated by Emma was Regina, but the townspeople seem intent on giving her credit for all of the defeats. The writers badly want us to be cursed in one of their many curses which have the same name "The Dark Curse" somehow, and forget our memories.

This plot with Emma as the Dark One would have much stronger if she had been really saving everyone. since it was Regina, the Dark swan is just another villain they need to defeat.
