* AlasPoorScrappy: Despite Robin having a huge amount of hate, many feel his punishment at times is a bit excessive and feel sorry for him, especially as the show seems to take particular glee in portraying him as a pathetic LoserProtagonist. Some fans also do not like how the other Titans seem all too willing to replace Robin as the leader, whether with another leader, or one of their own numbers committing mutiny. What legitimately helps his case, as is revealed in the "Flashback" two-parter, is that the other Titans were the ones responsible for driving him up the wall and turning him into such a massive JerkAss in the first place.



* DesignatedMonkey: As detailed in AlasPoorScrappy above, [[JerkassWoobie Robin]] falls into this whenever [[ButtMonkey the abuse he constantly gets]] throughout the show comes off as undeserved and/or too cruel to be considered funny, especially in later seasons where it has been significantly increased compared to the abuse the other titans, notably Beast Boy, usually get.

** Robin may be an egotistical ControlFreak, but despite his negative actions, it's not hard to feel sorry for him (even those that hate him [[AlasPoorScrappy can feel sad for him]]). In "Dude Relax", it was revealed that the animals in his circus would often abuse him as a baby, which was the reason why he's always paranoid and uptight. His team would also [[WithFriendsLikeThese treat him like a joke sometimes]], to the point of them wanting him to be replaced with either another leader or one of their own numbers committing mutiny. It could be justified due to his obnoxious behavior, but many felt that this kind of treatment he gets from his teammates is just plain miserable.

** For those who hate this incarnation of Robin, anytime he gets punished for his actions is quite satisfying. [[AlasPoorScrappy Unless you find it a tad excessive]], such as his own friends [[TheStarscream constantly gunning for his position as leader]].

** If you're not fond of Cyborg and Beast Boy, seeing them getting repeatedly pummeled in "Caramel Apples" might be cathartic to watch. At least, [[IgnoredEpiphany until]] [[KarmaHoudini the]] {{e|tTuBrute}}nding. Similarly, seeing Brother Blood torture them with his Pain Bot in "Waffles" might have you [[RootingForTheEmpire rooting for him]], though the ending where Beast Boy's body has been skeletonized [[AlasPoorScrappy might be a tad bit excessive]].
