Which is a shame cause bringing a character to a confrontation about the bad things they did creates great scenes and great drama (e.g. Emma and Neal bar scene in 214). Characters can have flaws, characters can do make mistakes, that’s what makes them interesting. But there is no point if they are not confronted about it, everything is forgotten and everyone is happy. Redemption is not just forget about the past and doing good things, it’s about atonement, making amends and earning forgiveness
See this is where the Neal hate comes, bc with everyone else they show the abuser side, and im not calling Neal abuser, but im saying that on Neal and Emma case, they showed only Emma side, reason why Neal is so hated, bc to the fans he is an abuser, they never showed Neal side, Adam said that Neal didnt called the police and that bad things would happen if they ended together, but they never shown, Neal not calling the police, or the bad things that could ahev happen, or how was Neal life after leaving Emma, that is why on oncers minds, what Neal did to Emma was worst than Regina or Hook or even Rumple, or Zelena did as villains, in this case they were only focus on the “victim” side and worst they let the fans believe that bc they no longer have to worried about Neal character.
