he did force her into slavery, make her help him torture people, threw her around and locked her in a dungeon until he felt like doing otherwise. not to mention the shit he's done in storybrooke. I love Rumpelstiltskin but he should not have a love interest because he's a bad person.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm the anon Rumbelle shipper who posted about being at the panel, and the one who posted the big long essay about the differences I see between Rumbelle and SwanQueen. I hesitate to say that anyone shouldn't have a love interest (a significant other? partner? lover? Or are we just talking characters and not real people here) because they're a bad person. I mean, love doesn't work like that. If only people who deserved love had it, there'd probably be a lot fewer people, to start with.

The big thing for me is consent; if Belle didn't want to be with Rumpelstiltskin, then I'd say they weren't a couple. But despite the nasty shit he's done, she loves him. Despite the nasty shit Regina has done, Henry loves her. They're not a romantic couple, obviously, but I think Regina was a strict but otherwise mostly normal mother to Henry until she began to fear his pulling away, so I'm not surprised he loved her when she was just his mom, before the killing people and trying to convince him he was crazy started. Hell, despite the mindfucking and killing-your-true-love Cora pulled, Regina loved Cora, and broke down when Cora actually died even though she'd ordered her death before and thought she'd been killed then.

Love isn't rational and isn't necessarily a reward for good behavior. In fact I think the most unhealthy thing about Rumbelle is that Belle sometimes uses her affection as a reward for Rumpelstiltskin's good behavior, and Rumpelstiltskin respects her for that and expects her to hold him to her standards--but he still hasn't made a sincere attempt to change his behavior because it'd be the right thing to do, he only acts decently (for him) because Belle asks it. He doesn't have his own moral compass; Belle carries it for him. Just as Regina won't be able to make a start at redemption until she accepts responsibility for all the shit she's done and continues to do, Rumpelstiltskin, who does accept responsibility for the horrible shit he's done, needs to fucking stop doing it because it's wrong, not because Belle or Bae wants him to stop.
