   I remember being stunned by Mork from Ork. Then watched as the same guy grew into one of the most iconic and loved humans on Earth. Given the amount of brain share that he earned it's kind of inevitable that so many people try to bring him back. I hope his daughter can also feel the love in it.

   But shazbot to anyone who goes rule 34 on him.

      There's a few different ways to look at this.

      1. You appreciate Robin Williams and were he here right now judging you for how you honor his memory, would he approve?

      2. Robin Williams is not here, or anywhere, so then if he were would he approve of you bringing pain to someone he loved dearly? Why would you do that to Robin Williams?

      3. Robin Williams is not here, or anywhere, so then nothing matters and I bet I could get some views.

      It's difficult to see love in these acts when they seem to be fundamentally selfish. Not at all what Robin Williams would do.

         These arguments seem so quaint, like reading a letter from WW2. We live in the AI age! Wake up people, these things are happening and will not ever stop, we are not going back.

            No. Just because lots of people do a thing does not make it acceptable, and "people are going to keep doing it" is not a valid reason to not try to stop it.
