So if you mean that scenes like that are shunned in family shows (even without the kissing) then yes, that bothers me too, even though I just now caught onto it. Yup, that's exactly what I mean. :) It's not really about actual viewer's reactions (which are more and more accepting, a lot of them are actually like our reactions), it's about what writers and producers are censoring in the first place, and how it makes zero sense. (IDK if you know about ~Ginnygate? It was the same thing re: OUaT. There was another twitter post which was later deleted, but I have the first one here, and there's a bit more about it in the comments.)
I mean, seriously, half of the scenes with Red and Snow in the last episode, if they had been a man and a woman, they SO would have kissed and nobody would have minded (well, maybe they would have because of this whole 'true love Prince Charming' thing, but still). A MILLION TIMES THIS. Or like Ruby/Belle in the library? If they were a man and a woman a kiss would be almost required, AND neither of them was in another relationship at the time. And there are so, so many situations even more obvious than that than that in all kinds of family shows, and it just never happens. (Heck, sometimes in cable shows homosexuality is a ~big deal~ too, and not something that just happens, like heterosexuality.)
