Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
Srsly though, its just writers try TOO hard to make him whacky (imo).
Not everyone can write that kind of character, and as over exposed as DP is (a whooole different problem, there) you are gonna have writers handling him who just arent funny.
That leads to a lot of crappy DP on the shelves.
