Where does that assertion come from? I never said that they controlled those sources; I’m just saying that there’s inherent sexism in our society. Is that that hard to understand? I guess so.
You pointed out that Wikipedia editors are “overwhelmingly male”, in order to suggest bias on their part. I then pointed out that the paragraph I cited is sourced, from a female author, no less. So, unless Kat Feete is under the control of male Wikipedia editors, your point is negated.
This is the “your being offended is your fault” attitude that is extremely toxic to the underprivileged.
When someone is offended as a result of their own misconceptions, it is logically their fault.
We don’t define words by what somebody in a white paper said once, we define them by how they’re used, and now, “Mary Sue” is being used in a sexist fashion.
This is a mere assertion on your part, i.e., you have no reliable source to back it up.
It is 100% reasonable to be offended by the use of the term Mary Sue.
False. It is never reasonable to be offended by a term that doesn’t mean what you think it means.
Try asking a woman about it sometime.
Which woman gets to redefine the English language? To find out the meaning of words, you don’t ask a random person, you look to reliable sources. You haven’t provided any reliable sources which supports your assertions, and that’s because there are none. A Mary Sue is a character type, and the sex of the character is not part of the definition. Again, prior to December 2015, Wesley Crusher was the most famous Mary Sue. Were you trying to play the “misogynistic” card then? Of course not, and you doing it with Rey is a case of special pleading, which is a logical fallacy.
