Especially, given that she looks like Gothel. Many people in this scenario would blame, and hate the child. Similar to what happened with Rumplestilskin, when he was born.

It also does not help, that Rogers is the ultimate tool in Hyperion Heights. Seriously, he is being manipulated be everyone. Especially, the people who hurt him most. So what? You'd prefer to see Hook completely abandoning Alice and refuse to even talk to her? Blaming the child who asked nothing? And then, people complained that OUAT is not a family show enough... I think what they're trying to say is that just because Hook was totally down for raising the child, that doesn't/shouldn't take focus off of the act of rape that occurred. Like going through bad situations can make someone stronger but that doesn't mean it never affected them, is never talked about, and the victims should ultimately always be grateful it happened because it "changed" them for the better. This is kinda what Alison is talking about, right? But victims should be are allowed to be resentful and it should be shown because they went through something traumatic.

I have seen a bunch of people saying things along the lines of "Who cares how Alice was created? Hook has a daughter he loves!".....which isn't the point? And if the show only focuses on Gothel being evil and Hook loving Alice, that doesn't do anything to address the issues people are up in arms about.
