User blog comment:Zman12346/My exact reasoning behind just why I think Lincoln is such a top tier main character/@comment-31231137-20180602202510

"...later convinced his family to continue to punish him by leaving him outside."

It was not her that caused Lincoln to be locked outside. It was Rita and Lynn Sr. who locked him out. While they're not the best parents, I highly doubt they would lock their own son out just because their daughter thought he was "bad luck." I mean, in Net Gains, Lynn Sr. even said that Lynn's superstitious rituals were intense, and, judging by his tone of voice, he did not mean that in a good way, but rather in a pretty concerning way. If he thought those rituals were intense, imagine what he'd think of her accusing Lincoln of something like this. If Lincoln hadn't lied about being "bad luck," I doubt it would've caught on. It's not like Lynn ever forced him to pretend he was.
