Robin's only sleazy moment (as far as I'm concerned) happened in "The Snow Queen" when he slept with Regina, while he thought Marian was still alive. But considering what the other characters have done on this show, I'm at a loss at this current bashing of his character. Is it because his situation involved sex? Or is it because fans demand that he be an ideal mate for Regina 24/7, when she isn't ideal herself? Are certain fans engaging in character double standards? I think some have issues with Robin because they don't like love triangles and the various soap opera plots he is involved in. It is rare to see Robin outside this plot.

I think he's totally fine and I see that fans are warming up to him this season because there's less "wife comes back from the dead" "sister pregnancy" "Love triangle" stuff. The more we learn about Robin, the better he will be received.
