If Zelena and Regina had actually talked more, instead of having screentime siphoned away for the CS show, we probably could've seen the issue acknowledged I don't think they want to introduce more mature plotlines into the show, they are too immature to do that. They do it indeliberately without really thinking about the kind of messages they present such as Hook making rape comments, Zelena raping Robin, adulterous Robin, Hook jumping off the roof for attention, Rumple mansplaining Belle, abusive relationships overall - they actually think that all of those are examples of romance without realizing what they actually mean, but that what happens when the show is lazily written. Yes, because no other show uses things like rape or murder or suicide or anything else just for shock value and forgets about it a few episodes later. Only Once does that. Because all other showrunners are vastly surperior to Adam and Eddy. How silly of us to all forget this. Thank God we have you here Farerb, I don't know how we would manage otherwise.
