The issue with Once imo is that it portrays abuse as romantic.

Rumple's abuse of Belle? Fine. Regina's abuse of Henry? Fine.

Victims do not get justice, they get to live with their abuser. And it is shown as a good thing rather than something tragic. The show tells victims they have to make it work with their abuser.
