The list goes on but Once’s portrayal of class, whilst eyebrow raising, is the least of its problems.
I don’t know. I see what you’re saying, but I’m not sure OUAT’s class politics should be so easily dismissed because its gender politics are even worse (and I’ll be the first to agree with you that OUAT has epically failed on that front too). I know it’s a question of personal political commitments, but I wouldn’t want one genre of critique (say, from a feminist position) to invalidate or diminish all others. Maybe a stronger approach would be to find a ground of intersection between all our different quibbles — the overlap of the Venn diagram, if you will.
On the other hand, I’m also realizing that this conversation is probably not super constructive, and that in and of itself is sad. Ultimately, we, as the audience, can’t do anything about “alerting” OUAT to the implicit ideologies it seems to peddle. E&A got their share of criticisms exactly over the issues you are raising, many many times it seems, to exactly zero effect, safe for accusations of shipper irrationality.
Le sigh.
