User blog:CartoonFan14/In defense of: Whipped

So, this story, If I had to describe why it's being treated the way it is, it would be because you're darned if you do and you're darned if you don't. Most of the complaints on the story would cause other people to complain of he did something about them. So today I'll be defending the story, taking some of the complaints I disagree with, and explaining why the author isn't too "thick skulled" to not see these complaints, but rather as to why he most likely just disagrees with the criticisms presented.

Using Leni and Luna is "cliche", you know Lincoln has 8 other sisters right?
Ok, so let me start my rebuttal with the point everyone who dislikes the story seems to have. The way I'll start this is by first giving reasons I disagree with how the argument is presented, and then present a counter argument to explain why it works in the story. So heres why I disagree with the argument.


 * You're basically saying you don't like the story because they used Leni and Luna, which makes you no better than Yoshi and Drew for using them.


 * The whole argument boils down to you thinking using them is unoriginal, and ignoring what's been clearly presented in the show.


 * You're also saying that if they had used other sisters, that all these complaints about the author being biased and making them Mary Sue's wouldn't matter, because at least he didn't use Leni and Luna, god forbid that.

Now on to why I think that Leni and Luna work as the choice sisters to be on Lincoln's side.


 * Leni was the only person more concerned about making sure her sick siblings weren't completely miserable rather than making it to Clyde's in One Flu Over The Loud House. Gee, I can't imagine why Drew thought Leni wouldn't want to put Lincoln through anymore than he had already gone through.


 * Luna risked herself getting thrown in mall jail just to get Lincoln and Clyde out, heck, she might have actually got in more serious trouble for trying to impersonate someone. Not only that, she apologized for what she did, and she wasn't even doing it with bad intentions, yet it came of as more sincere than the apology in get the message did. But we don't stop there, Luna takes their crummy seats in the auditorium, and turns them into freaking front row center, and they even get to hop on the stage because of it. I would say something else, but to keep this from being too long, I'm just going to say For Bros About to Rock in general.


 * In Along Came a Sister, Leni not only faced her fear, not only saved Frank's life, but even stood up the Exterminator, you know, the same guy who had no problem shoving a kid forcefully down to the ground, and had no problem throwing a jump rope at Lincoln to get to the spider, she stood up to that same guy, and that is a huge part of the reason Leni is widely considered Lincoln's nicest sister, because she was willing to do all that for her brother.


 * Speaking of Along Came a Sister, do you know those over-bearing over-protective parents that try to shelter their kids from the real world. In Along Came a Sister when Frank is supposedly killed in the kitchen, Luna is covering baby Lily's eyes, trying to keep her away from the whole idea of death. So while this may have nothing to do with Lincoln, it shows that Luna is very caring and protective of her younger siblings, and since Lincoln is one of her younger siblings, wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that she'd be caring and over protective of him?

Sure they have their moments of anger and fighting, but there's no denying any of what I have listed above, these are some of the nicest things the sisters have done for Lincoln, and if you ask me, no sister has come anywhere close to reaching the things I've listed above. So if any sisters were to be on Lincoln's side, these two would be the most reasonable, and it doesn't come off as cliche to me because it's been shown in the show, that these two care about Lincoln very deeply. So next time you tell him to use other sisters, think about who he used, and if there were any sisters you feel fit the role better.

Why are Leni and Luna acting different from the other sisters?! I call bias!
Because nobody enjoys stories where all 10 of the girls go against Lincoln, you'll always see comments like, why couldn't so and so be supportive, or, so and so was so out of character here! Most people want stories where he has some support. Look at some of the most hated episodes of the series. Making the Case, Brawl, No Such Luck, not a single one of those episodes has ANY of the girls being on Lincoln's side, even the ones I found passable like 4x Loud House, Sound of Silence, and Sweet Spot are all despised and none of those episodes have the girls on Lincoln's side, the only one that isn't despised is Undie Pressure. Point being, your story is all but doomed with the fanbase from the get go if you don't have at least one of the girls on Lincoln's side, and as I hopefully made clear on my first point, Leni and Luna make the most sense, hell, Leni is one of my least favorites, and I'd still use her for a story like this. It has nothing to do with bias, just simply who works in the role and who doesn't.

You demomized the 7 other sisters, you demons!
These are the same girls that left a vengence threat, pummel each other over a quarter, re open doors just to slam them shut, take a prank to teach someone not to ignore their family too far, make it a point to never stop teasing someone for having a different opinion on a book series, and disown their brother. Yes, they love their brother and all their siblings to death, but sometimes they do dumb things, really dumb things, and to say that the kids act on impulse a lot would be an understatement. So it'd be understandable for them to do this because we know that they've done dumb things without thinking it all the way through in the past.

Another point is Lincoln desperately wanted his sisters to be at his beck and call for as long as possible, and all he got was a couple hours! Now, do you think of Lincoln as someone who has a character trait of being cruel? I know I sure don't. So what would a whole vacation of Lincoln waiting on them hand and foot do to the girls? Also characters we don't believe are cruel.

Closing Statment
I have to say Whipped is a good story, not a perfect story, as there are complaints I agree with, and didn't feel the need to bring up because this is a blog about the complaints I don't agree with, and why it isn't worse than The Boy Who Cried Idiot. If you agree or disagree, leave a comment sharing why, I probably won't respond to many comments, because I'm officially done with Whipped and everything surrounding it. But there's my take on Whipped and why I don't hate it, hope you enjoyed.
