My wish is that the term "rape culture" would go away. It's just depressing a term. In the case of Captain Swan, I think their entire history is a romantic, old-world, tortured love story. I enjoy that. So I cannot vote for the label of "RC". That is exactly right, and I could not agree more.

Your description, of the relationship between Emma and Hook, is spot on. It is very old-world.... and fits the fairytale theme, of OUaT, perfectly. In many stories, knights would just watch their true love from afar. Which is exactly what Hook was doing, throughout Season 3.
