Sadly, the wrtiers only really saw him as an extension of Regina or a prop in her story. And yet, OutlawQueen fans still are hung up over Robin’s death almost two years later XD. Well can you blame them? I may not have liked OQ for some people it meant a lot. It was a brutal way to treat shippers and Sean himself. Swanfire fans are still not over Neal's death 4 years on. There are some characters whose deaths I am still not over.

I feel like only giving Robin some character in the episode he was dying was pretty, for a lack of a better word, shitty towards his fans.

I feel like it is less of "I can't believe they killed my favourite character" (though that is there) and more of "they killed off a character for pure shock value after 2 seasons of refusing to develop him" Yeah, and it set up another retread with Regina threatening to return to the darkness again. Which could have worked if they had sent Regina into the dark and stayed there. If she had become the Evil Queen and been the Big Bad of s6 it could have been for something. But that's another thread entirely
