Unpopular opinion: Stepsisters are not bad guys in this film


99% of people think the stepsisters are evil and deserve the horrible punishment they received. I disagree. They also have feelings. They were only 17 or 18 years old. Sam ruined the rest of their lives. They loved Austin, they had houses, cars, a good life. Sam took it all from them and destroyed it. They have to work for years and be in jail because their mother did some bad things.

Someone will say "But they abused Sam!" Lol. These were ordinary high school things. Shelby was also bad to Sam, but she was not punished. She even has fans just because she’s “hot” (stepsisters are also smart and beautiful). Gabriella and Brianna did not deserve that punishment. That's not fair

Those little shits were overindulged their whole lives. Not once did they ever have to work for anything because mommy provided it all...at the expense of Sam, who did nothing to deserve the abuse and cruelty she got. They aren't innocent in any sense of the word, and abused Sam in their own way because they knew they could get away with it, and their bitchy mom even encouraged them to treat her like crap.

Oh, so it's really okay for high-school age kids to be cruel to their brothers and sisters? Not only is that not cool, it's considered abnormal and horrible to most people with more than two brain cells. Brianna and Gabriella were even in on humiliating Sam AND Austin in front of the whole school, and helping their bitch of a mother try to destroy her chances of getting into the college she wanted, hoping to keep her trapped as their slave forever. Didn't work.

(At best, they were average in appearance, though Brianna needed to lose weight, and both twins seriously needed to ditch their tacky wardrobes. Nothing could help the mother. She was a fatass ugly bitch with too much cheap plastic surgery. Even if she'd lost 70 lbs, she'd still be ugly and overdone in the face).

Brianna and Gabriella deserved everything they got, particularly when those two lazy shits had to actually work for a living and make their own way in the world. I honestly cheered when Sam sold their cars to pay for her college tuition. I mean, they got to have shiny new cars and not have to pay a cent while she has to drive a 40-year-old rust bucket? That's not fair in the least, nor is it okay for the stepmother to lie about the inheritance and spend a ton of the dad's money all those years like she was some kind of Hollywood celebrity. Excuse me if I have no sympathy for a trio of horrible, selfish, bitchy brats like that.
