Exactly how many people understand that Emma had ripped out Merida's heart so that she could coerce the latter into "teaching Rumpel how to be brave"? People are complaining that Merida is bullying Rumpel, but not that she is being forced to do this? Many characters have been forced to do things, when they did not have a heart. Just look at how Hook acted, when Gold had his heart? Or Graham, before Regina killed him? Emma may hold Merida's heart, but she is not altering her personality. Merida is just a selfish coward, who is scared of dying.
