They do both come off as rather shady/sleazy at times, but neither of them bother me as much as characters like the current Regina and season 4 Rumple do. Maybe it's because Robin and Hook are so undeveloped as characters that they don't bother me; they haven't had a chance to be ruined. So although agree with you that Robin was acting pretty shady with the whole kissing behind Marion's back while talking about honor, I have trouble thinking of it as anything but the writer's doing. Like when David and Snow were half let off the hook because Isaac "made' them steal a baby, I can't bring myself to hold it against him as a character. I can only hold characters responsible if they seem real to me.
