Which is why i think the term “Mary Sue” should no longer be acceptable to use any more. It may once have been used to mean one thing, but it is more commonly used now in a completely different way by these morons.
Fair enough, I’ve been fine myself with the use of Mary-Sue in understanding it’s origins and original meaning but seeing as the English language constantly evolves and things take on different meanings, maybe it is time to stop using it to try and discourage those that use it in a sexist fashion.
Maybe we could refer to such characters from now on as UCCs - Unbelievably Capable Characters 😛
