Y'know, I get there's all this discourse about "Ouagh if a female character did this she would NEVER BE FORGIVEN but the dudes do it all the time and it's FINE," and then people get mad if you say, "Actually the GIRLS get away with everything and the GUYS are unfairly persecuted," but I do legitimately believe that Once Upon a Time is an unbelievable example of the latter. Like. Hwoaw.
Look me in the eyes and tell me that if Robin and Zelena's roles were reversed, Robin wouldn't have been written off or killed, and any attempt to redeem him would have been met with disgust.
Even more so, look me in the eyes and tell me if Rumplestiltskin had done to any female character even a shadow of what Regina did to Graham, the whole cast AND audience wouldn't have been howling for his blood.
Like. The show really glosses over those, man. Like a lot.
#double whammy bad on Robin and Zelena because it sure looks like they sent him to turbo hell just so they could redeem Zelena#without having to examine his feelings on the matter in any way#could be wrong on that#maybe the actor wanted to leave. he was hardly in the season up to that point#but it is a Big Oof#also im not saying i DONT want Regina and Zelena redeemed#i think these moments are reflective of the writers not properly thinking through how unforgivable those actions would he#if the roles were reversed#ouat#once upon a time#writing#analysis#regina#regina mills#zelena#zelena ouat#robin hood#robin hood ouat#robin ouat#rumplestiltskin
