@EpsilonMk46 You do bring up a decent point. Lynn isn't in too much of the episode itself, her influence mainly flowing through other people. With that said, though, I think there are two things worth considering before you write Lincoln off as just someone that created his own fate.

1) Lynn, like a lot of the other sisters, is less likely to be punished for her own actions than Lincoln. I think a lot of people were angry at her for that exact reason, that she didn't face any consequences for her superstitious behavior nor did she learn that it can be harmful/inconvenient to others. When you add on her other features (being a sore winner, selfish, rambunctious), it creates an image that's hard to like.

2) I don't think Lincoln's desire for free time is selfish or wrong. I am an introvert, so I highly value my alone time. It doesn't mean I hate people, it just means that I need to recharge my batteries after spending time around my friends or family. And judging by his behavior, Lincoln also appears to be an introvert that has similar demands. Yes, he loves his family very much, but socializing can be a draining activity. Because of this, I am more likely to sympathize with Lincoln because I understand the need for "me time". Should he have lied? Of course not, but don't forget to consider the context.

I think a lot of it also comes down to values, so I wouldn't blame you if you disagree with me on any of those points. Also, I think people consider this episode within the greater series, where the sisters have historically been under punished for their misdeeds and Lincoln seemingly the opposite.

@Everyone Thank you for your words regarding my work. It means a lot to me that something I did is worthy enough for your words and time! You make me happy
