Board Thread:Character Discussion/@comment-11058666-20150901033946/@comment-25926288-20151001131506

The original post and this topic is a great one to discuss because in it does lie some truth that is applicable to someone. In real life, there is such a thing as a double standard and many people have such a thought. Some people across the fandom argue that the forced sexual assualt or rape commited by the women is glossed over by the writers and when asking A&E they act as if they didn't notice it prior. (Now they notice it, but before they weren't as understanding.) It's because in reality many people can't see men being forced to have sex with woman, especially beautiful woman.

But most of the online fans (at least here) seem to not carry such thoughts, or announce it and apply it to their favorite characters.

Plus, if this topic was a rotten egg, it probably wouldn't have had so many responses.

But I will say if we had a male wicked Witch and a male Evil Queen, I wouldn't like them on the basis that they stay very far from the source material. I'd probably like the twist but the character wouldn't be the same. Even if you make Zelena blue instead of green, I'd be upset, lol.

So, DTA, if you want the thread closed, I'd gladly do it for you.
