Emma being 17/18 with an age of consent that varies by state is a trivial point. We don’t know Neal’s age, the writers can’t math, and we don’t know the state. If you go by the low (16) and the high (18), then Emma and Neal’s relationship is okay (asked on consent). We really don’t need to keep bringing this up.

Cora didn’t force Regina to do a thing. Regina shoved her into another world and Regina stuck through the marriage. Plus, there’s no evidence they slept together not even shared the same bed.

Malcolm didn’t address any such issue, so that’s speculative and Malcolm is surely an adult and has shown no indication otherwise, based on his dialogue (with Emma, talking about Belle, etc). We do know the state, it is Oregon.

Emma was not 18, she was 16/17. And Neal while biologically was in his 20s (22-23) was really 300+. Hello Twilight/The Vampire Diaries.

On what planet is an adult man seducing an underage girl okay? Neal being several hundred years old while seducing an underaged Emma makes it even creepier. So disgusting.
