Further, what the show has going on is indicative of the real world, and a good way to gauge what real people think about real things. When we see rape on the show going unpunished, it shows us what at least some small part of Hollywood thinks of that situation. When we talk about it with our friends and associates, it shows us what they think of it too. Utter, you hit it right on the nose.

The OUaT creative team clearly falls into that category of Hollywood, of exploiting sexual abuse for pure entertainment. Which is why many of us here, and on other outlets, are so upset. Just because sex is monetary for producers, does not mean it is for the audience. We can hope they will treat this storyline with respect going forward. However, Robin Hood's rape was so poorly handled, that hope would be misplaced.
