OUAT and the portrayal of class

[RumplesGirl]

In general I think A&E are aware of some of the problematic issues in their show. Issues around consent and rape for example they HAVE to be aware of based on a few of the lines between Robin and Zelena in her cell a few episodes back, but they skirt around them and don’t address them appropriatel

Wellllll….I dunno. Those Robin/Zelena lines seem telling but at the same time, Adam refuses to acknowledge that Regina and Graham were having sex during those council meetings. He said once that because we didn’t see it, they might have been playing a card game! All this happened because people wanted to know if Regina raping Graham would come up. The writers also keep using the wonky consent storyline either because they don’t recognize it as rape or because they don’t care.

I’m not sure which one scares me more.

I would hope that Jane Espenson is aware. She’s smarter than the average bear and wrote for a show that DID deal with issues.

Wait. I just tried to #Hope something. Gotta stop that.
