Like going through bad situations can make someone stronger but that doesn't mean it never affected them, is never talked about, and the victims should ultimately always be grateful it happened because it "changed" them for the better. This is kinda what Alison is talking about, right? But victims should be are allowed to be resentful and it should be shown because they went through something traumatic.

I have seen a bunch of people saying things along the lines of "Who cares how Alice was created? Hook has a daughter he loves!".....which isn't the point? And if the show only focuses on Gothel being evil and Hook loving Alice, that doesn't do anything to address the issues people are up in arms about. This is exactly what I was referring to. Thank you for putting it into more eloquent words, Jenna. I feel like the "who cares" mentality, is exactly how the writers are approaching this. Do I fault Alison for her opinion? No, because she is still a child with a developing mind. However, adults should know better. At the same time WHook shouldn't take out how Alice was conceived on her, as that isn't her fault. And considering Gothel wants nothing to do with her, if WHook didn't step up Alice would have esentially been an orphan. Basically, you can't blame a child for the curcumstances of their conseption.
