I can honestly only remember the "real world" version of that. Are you talking about fairy tale land? Did she take his heart and that's why he was sleeping with her? Or was she blackmailing him? I remember their thing being consensual in the real world (I mean, debating on consent, since she's the only one who remembers their real identities to be fair).

[(Anonymous)]

In "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter", Regina takes his heart as punishment for not killing Snow and tells him that he is now her pet, and that if he refuses to do exactly what she says, she'll kill him by crushing his heart. She then tells the guards to take him to her bedchamber.

In Storybrooke, the sexual relationship continues, but because Graham's memories were wiped by the curse, he doesn't remember what Regina did to him. So I wouldn't call that consensual. And it was made pretty clear that he wasn't exactly happy in his relationship with Regina, even before we knew what she'd done to him.

[miarrow]

Ah yeah, I had completely forgotten that bit. Probably on purpose, because it's awful. I think that was one of the points where I quit the show for a while. They really can't have characters cross that line and then expect the viewer to take their redemption arc seriously, especially never addressing that issue again.

[vestigialwords]

Well, she was literally in possession of his heart in both Fairy Tale Land and Storybrooke. Seeing how that possession of someone's heart gives you total control over them, there's really no difference between his Storybrooke and FTL situations with respect to Regina.

Except perhaps that the Storybrooke situation actually upsets me more because she managed to normalize/rationalize her behavior. In FTL, it's pretty clear that what's going on is manipulative and nonconsensual, but Storybrooke, you've got Emma disappointed with him for sleeping with Regina, so there's a layer of victim-blaming/horny-guy-can't-keep-it-in-his-pants that he has to deal with. Add to that that he doesn't even know he's being controlled, explaining his own self-loathing, because he doesn't know enough to know that what's happening to him is wrong, and the layers of grossness really don't stop. :\

[(Anonymous)]

See, if that was all addressed in the show it would be an amazing story arc.

But it almost certainly won't be.

[elaminator]

Wow, I'd completely forgotten about the Emma thing. Damn...

I didn't think that situation could get worse, but I was wrong.

[(Anonymous)]

Um, those 'layers of grossness' was... kinda the point? Duh?

[vestigialwords]

Wow. Rude.

I was responding to a comment asking for clarification on how the whole Storybrooke situation was as bad as FTL. Which I did. So... IDK what you're getting at.
