That is just the world we live in, ehy should it be any different just because these people are on TV. People have always sucked, its not something that is ever going to change, goes all the way back to Cain and Abel, people will always be backstabbing jerks that only look out for themselves. It's a problem when it's not noticed. It's perfectly fine otherwise.

Emma's blackmail scene is suppose to make her seem cool, but it''s really just her being a jerk. They don't seem to be doing that on purpose.

Belle is mistreated by everyone in someway,  but I doubt the writers are intentionally making them seem like jerks to Belle because she never seems to question anything.
