Personally I think Steve Irwin was a dick who invaded animals living spaces and aggravated for television exposure then was predictably killed for doing the same thing. Dude got what he deserved.
Exactly. The sainthood he has received absolutely boggles my mind. And thinking that he was behaving like an asshole to wild animals wasn't even that uncommon back in the day, it is how he is depicted in a South Park episode.
I think most people who adore him have only seen still photos of him, and not actually watched any of the episodes of his show. Or they just have as little clue about wild animals as he had.
