The fandom wouldn't have been this toxic if he had been honest with them and if he hadn't given in to fanservice. And that's why you said kinda. Plus, we don't know who's idea it is to give into fanservice. And fanservice isn't necessarily a terrible idea. Giving in to fanservice or giving into abc demending you to give into fanservice is the same thing.

If we are talking about little things then yes, fanservice is fine. I don't like that they compromised the story just so fans would be happy. It means that they have no vision whatsoever and only care about the numbers. Fanservice is what led one group of fans to complain about the attention given to this couple over that couple and whatnot.... I don't think they exchange fanservice for story (at least purposefully). Let's take Regina for example. Some people like her and others hate her, whatever. But at the end of the day, what happens on the show isn't fanservice to her, but a stagnant character that is devolving into a 2-D character. She can go join Snow and Rumple, lol.

Adam seems to be trying to promote fandom ideas, even if they are contrary to show stuff because he probably saw no harm and he's right to expect reasonable people, but that wasn't the case.
