"Canon Rita and Lynn Sr.: Parents with personality and flaws.

Fanon Rita and Lynn Sr.: Two parents who are just there when someone needs to scold or punish the kids."

Yeah, I'll say. I think that Fanon Rita & Lynn Sr. is a thing because some authors don't take took kindly to their questionable parenting in the show, and that's their attempt to rectify their negligence. However, their personalities and quirks are often sacrificed in the process, turning them into one-note, disciplinary party poopers without much distinction from the other. I think it's important to understand that there must be balance; a hard shift in either extreme (Fanon or the worst that Canon can bring to the table) just makes for an infuriating experience.
