* Is it just me or is there an alarming number of people who psychotically hate this man? I do realize, despite my irritating, {{Entry Pimp}}ing, often disturbingly overtly sexual {{Fan Girl}}y love for him, that he's not everyone's cup of tea. But I'm not talking about people snarking about how he's been doing the same John Wayne impression for 30 years, I'm talking about people who '''want to kill him'''. There are blogs, DeviantART pictures, Website/YouTube videos, anything you can think of on the internet dedicated to wishing him dead. Even ''{{Futurama}}'' got in on the act! And just when I thought that the people who wrote '''that''' scene needed psychological counseling, I read about this woman, Raquel Welch ([[NamesTheSame not]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raquel_Welch that one]]), '''[[http://www.blackandbluegallery.com.au/index.lasso?page=1 who made a whole art show about how much she hates him]]'''. '''I AM FUCKING SERIOUS'''. Where the hell is all this coming from anyway? One thing I have noticed is that in anti-Robin diatribes ''Patch Adams'' is always mentioned as his worst film ever (never mind that he has done *cough*''[=ClubParadise=]''*cough* '''much''' *cough*''[=LicenseToWed=]''*cough* worse). It's as if because people had an aversion to sentimental comedy / dramas about doctors dressed as clowns, the film was a catalyst that started them thinking "GRR I WANT TO KILL ROBIN WILLIAMS". Now doesn't that sound... unreasonable? I know all this sounds a little paranoid, but keep in mind that on the internet, hyperbole can be very hard to spot. ''{{Futurama}}'' still has no excuse for that ''Bender's Game'' scene though.

**** That's probably me. Look, I realize I'm the sort of person who gets obsessive about things (if this site were around 6 years ago, nearly every edit I made would have been about [[Series/DoctorWho Anthony Ainley]]). But apart from that, the reason I feel I have to defend Robin is the fact that I feel he saved my life in a way. Like I have said above, I overcame a nervous breakdown because ''MorkAndMindy'' made me laugh so much and [[SweetDreamsFuel gave me hope for life]] (it also made me realize [[IWasQuiteALooker he was pretty cute then]]... and still is, to me). Same with his films. And having met him several times, I think about him as a person, not just an actor. I will admit that maybe it's me who gets hurt more by terrible things said about him than he does (if he reads this place at all... I kinda hope so). That's just the way I am. I now wish I'd never started this IJBM. I shoulda just ranted on my Livejournal or something. If anyone wants me to get rid of this, I'll do it. 
** I've developed a bit of hatred for him since coming here, and it can be explained in only two words. [[HypeBacklash Hype. Backlash]]. I find him a mildly amusing standup comic, but you pimp him so much as if he was Our Lord and Savior that I develop a hatred for him in much the same way that I hate FinalFantasyVII despite it not being a ''bad'' game per se, just an extremely overrated one. As for the Futurama bit, I still have yet to see how that was "hatred". I see it more as "taking advantage of an easy pun". They would have done the same with ''any'' actor whose famous character resembled that of a fantasy monster.
