Zelena should not have custody of her child. Yeah, it's a show, so I don't expect reality to reign, but she got pretty much no punishment for raping Robin Hood. THAT is the issue imo. Add on Zelena killing his wife (Regina in a certain timeline) and Regina pressuring Robin to trust Zelena and then Robin's death/swift departure after being offscreen for periods of time. Exactly. If the roles were reversed... the idea wouldn't have left the writers room. And even if it did, the male perp would have been thrown in jail forever or killed.

That is what makes not okay. Any form of rape is not okay. It seems like the writers don't think past the "well he thought it was so and so so it's consensual" piece.

This kind of story isn't new. Heracles (Hercules) was the product of rape by deception, too. I could find any number of examples. Or examples of modern shows where male characters are too drunk to say no to sex, and make a joke of it.

I at least want a scene where Zelena explains to baby Robin how she was conceived. /endrant
