The Robin fanbase is kind of insane at points, now Tim's fanbase I've never had issues with, EVERY OTHER ROBIN though......I dealt with some crazy on this site.
Tim is actually my favorite Robin so bias, but Dick's Nightwing series is A HUGE favorite of mine too and I love NTT. Jason I had issues with and I like Damian when he's a double act. SO I like the Robins, but if you say something nice about one OTHERs feel it takes away.
I tell you a story I did a Tim thread and got a Dick Stan, during the entire THREAD, I never once insulted Dick Grayson or anything else. I just pointed to key facts like Tim was the first Robin to get a solo title, and what writers TENDED to emphasize and write with him.
But the Dick fan INSISTED I WAS WRONG and somehow I insulted Dick's place, I even told them straight up this, I think the REASON Batman didn't fade from the public IS DICK Grayson as Robin, but Dick never had a solo title as Robin.
Anyway I think the big problem is that Tim is often even now in the comics been said to be one of Batman's best robin and partners and there is at least seeds of that in many comics, but somehow saying this means that JASON and DICK, JUST SUCK.
so the other fanbases get defensive, but I also hear Tim is boring and I always felt that was a disservice to him, because I found HIM MORE INTERESTING as Robin.....because he wasn't just a copy of Dick as Robin or Jason with HIS UNIQUE elements. He's a normal kid.
But Jason fans like Jason and they feel that HE never got the right treatment and I get it but at the same time Jason WAS MASSIVELY TWEAKED over his existence and given several portrayal to figure him out and Tim and Dick didn't have it that bad.
anyway so the point is the Tim Drake fanbase is bad because he is their favorite Robin and they state facts about the comics. It's a joy.
