I have never seen HTGAWM (tho it does look quite good).

The issue with this show is that by glossing over the abuse and having the abuser face no consequences, you are promoting the message that abuse is ok. That raping men is ok if you're female. That victims deserved it. And those are not appropriate messages for anything. In HTGAWM is the murder romanticised and the victims blamed, or are the people who killed them faced consequences. Are the victims deemed "brats" who deserved to be killed?

I would not have an issue if the abuse on this show was portrayed as such, but it is romanticised and that is dangerous.

I think this is an issue for this show because it deals with (or attempts to deal with) topics like these on a fantasy fairytale adventure show. This is not the platform to be discussing these issues. Maybe on a more serious drama for an older audience but not a fairytale show.
