I really have to question the moral message being presented now on OUAT. Do villains really deserve a happy ending?

Take a real-life scenario. Would anyone, other than extremists, argue Hitler deserved a happy ending? What about Stalin? What about Pol Pot?

No.

What if these people had done even one good thing amongst a lifetime of harmful decisions? After all, presumably these people who did horrible things like kill people could still love their children. Yet, was that one redeeming thing enough to counteract the terrorizing, unspeakable acts of evil? I’d argue, still no.
