''Why.... what most people like about Emma, is that she was always a flawed hero. ''

Why not? There are other flawed heroes characters on this show. Why should Emma be the only one absolved from having her mistakes and crimes being called out? Being the so-called hero is not enough. It's one thing for Emma to be flawed. Fine. I have no problems with that. Perfect or ideal characters are boring to me. But it's another when the writers refuse to point out her mistakes and crimes; or when many fans refuse to face them. This is why I have a problem with Emma as a character in the first place. The only times this show has been willing to point out Emma's flaws are when said flaws threaten the Charming family dynamic or when she is "the Dark One". Otherwise, the show turns a blind eye to her mistakes and crimes. This is just BAD WRITING to me.
