Angst? What Angst?: Lincoln takes his family, including his parents, calling him a "life-ruiner" surprisingly well.
Broken Base: Arguably rivaling "Brawl in the Family" and "No Such Luck" as one of the most divisive episodes of the series. People like this episode because it gives a good message about ignoring bullies. Others will hate it because of how mean-spirited the critics, Loud parents, and Loud sisters behaved in this episode.
Fanon Discontinuity: Fans generally prefer to ignore this episode and its messages and themes, especially since it portrays half of the family as quite pathetic and runs against the morals of older episodes such as "Head Poet's Anxiety", which are otherwise beloved.
Signature Scene: Whenever people think about this episode, it's usually, if not, only the infamous scene where Lincoln's family, minus Lori, Leni, Lucy, Lana, and Lily, call Lincoln a "life-ruiner".
Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Pretty much every Loud who isn't Lincoln note Or Leni, Lucy, Lana, and Lily since they weren't shown with a critic (but if they were they might be able to handle criticism) . Any sympathy for their plight gets thrown out the window when they scapegoat Lincoln for causing them to have panic attacks, even going so far as to call him a life-ruiner. This is especially when you consider the fact that Lincoln has a thick enough skin to remain composed in the face of harsh criticism, whereas the slightest bit of criticism is enough to make the rest of his family all have complete and total meltdowns.
Wangst: All of the Louds, minus Lincoln note And again, Leni, Lucy, Lana, and Lily , come off as this. The conflict comes from them discovering that they have people who heckle them during their activities/job. However, most of these so-called hecklers aren't even that bad, with the most egregious one, Luan's "heckler", simply thinking she's not funny, yet their opinion is treated as a supposed hurtful comment. It makes the Louds come off as thin-skinned crybabies who can't handle any criticism whatsoever. The fact that they scapegoat Lincoln and say he ruins lives makes it feel like the other Louds are getting what they deserve.
