Reason #72151 why I don't tolerate Neelix hate
(startrek.website)
You know, Robin Williams was the reason that I started doing stand-up comedy? My personal hero. Knowing that he did this for Neelix, especially when he was getting a lot of hate? Robin is a saint. Also just a small thing because I wanted to honor the man...
Reason #72151.

The older I get, the more I appreciate Neelix.
Yeah when I was younger he was a bit cringy but now after realizing everything he's gone through and keeps going through? There was no one better suited to be ships Morale Officer.
The problem, I think, is that people think Neelix is this vapid obnoxiously happy character.
Once you're a bit older or if you've been through shit, you realise he's suffering from severe trauma and mental illness, and that the whole jovial extroversion thing is often a coping mechanism. He's been through a lot, so he doesn't want others to be sad.
Far more complex than you initially think.
As someone with relatives who survived the holocaust, I recognise the type.
Not too different from Robin Williams
Exactly what I was thinking.
