User blog:NumberDraws/Blowing Up a Simple Task - Short rebuttal to TSRITW's post.

I don't know how many people have read [https://numberlemon.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:TSRITW/WE_CAN%27T_COMPLETELY_REMOVE_ALEX. this post], but I am honestly quite tired of seeing this irrational reasoning from him over and over again and I have created this blog post sort of as a rebuttal.

One: "edit every single image and episode including him"

Depending on how this is approached, this doesn't have to be entirely true. But I will assume, as it is probably wanted by Alex, that every appearance he has made in NL now has to be removed. TSRITW stating that "nobody has the time" to edit these pages is incorrect. Anyone who has the time to create a multitude of NL episodes in the first place should have the time to remake a number of them as well. Otherwise, how on Earth can NL be expected to progress if those working on it find the task of editing some episodes to be "too cumbersome"? The point of preserving "Poyashika" and "Alex Sucker" seems to be entirely based on an emotional connection to whatever these concepts are, and do not be fooled, "because you want to" is not a rational reason to do anything on its own.

Two: "erase his character development"

Depending on how this is approached, this may also be completely unnecessary. I will not comment on the uniqueness of Alex's character as that is a subjective matter, but I will say that no matter what, it is not entirely lazy to reuse the character if a duplicate of it does not already exist in the series. Writers will take old concepts from characters and place them onto new ones all the time. This point is nothing but complaining about the writing process/using it as an excuse to appear like you are doing more work than you actually are.

Three: "a complete reboot"

This point states that by removing the character, the entire series will have to be rebooted. Even if NL is not episodic (based on single-episode stories) and has continuous story arcs, the story arcs are entirely contained within themselves. Even if one story arc was completely replaced or removed, it would do very little to the other story arcs besides maybe the visuals of some things would change. Again, TSRITW is attempting to make a mountain out of a molehill by exaggerating the amount of work needing to be done to replace the character.

Furthermore, I would like to say this: TSRITW's main reasoning throughout this post boils down to "the workload is too much" and I will acknowledge that I don't write NL and that maybe there is a workload involved. HOWEVER, in none of this does TSRITW address the major reasons why NL characters leave in the first place. He fails to explain why easing the workload is preferrable over giving people free will and rights over their characters and rights to cut them out. He fails to reason why keeping this character is worth the drama and arguing that has taken place as a result of decisions to keep the character. He does not provide good reasoning for why the workload even exists; his "we can't do that, It'll just be too difficult" reasoning can roughly be translated to "we won't do that because I can't be bothered" which I think speaks for itself.
