I know that they were drawing a parallel to their booty calls in Storybrooke. I get that. But that line... i didn't need to hear that lol. And if it had been a man saying that about a woman, even the casual fans would've been up in arms about it. I wouldn't have had a peoblem with Regina raping Graham and murdering him if they had delt with the consequences of it and Regina had been actually punished for it or atoned (so she can be redeemed), but they always neglect to mention the bad things she did (murder, rape, massace, regicide, abduction). It's more of an issue with Once's redemption plan. I wrote it down somewhere, but it's pretty much:

1. Try to change

2. Backslide

3. Attempt self sacrifice

4. Redeemed?

5. Return to step 2

I could excuse SB Regina and Graham because it's like playing God and dealing with what you created. However, they won't bring up the obvious "take him to my bed chambers". They say what Zleena did was vile, but then at the same time they have Regina claiming to be worst than his sister, but that's Once's double standard. If you aren't in the Snow's circle of friends, then forgiveness isn't easy. I actually think we tend to glss Snow over as super forgiving when she really isn't, only to those close to her, at most.

But on the issue of these criminal acts, the issue in SB is that there is no justice system. It would seem the system is Emma (and some of the heroes) being judge, jury, and executioner.
