Yeah, while that does happen, it's not a given. And what if it's a minor character who you don't have anyone TO ship with in canon anyway? I think that's an unfair generalization, even if it isn't entirely unfounded.

I see "self insert" bandied around so much when it comes to OCs and I feel like it's kinda ridiculous to be honest. Part of what bothers me is that it assumes that all Mary Sue characters are self inserts. And it's like "guys, you do realize you CAN make a crappy character that isn't based off you. It is possible"

Like I can see how someone assuming that a lot of self inserts will be Mary Sues (although I don't believe Mary Sue=/=Self Insert ,just that self inserts can be hard to pull off) and being wary. But I don't get the idea that a character with Mary Sue tendencies is ALWAYS based off the creator automatically.

I figure it's just something that some people say to be insulting and scathing. "Ohh you have an OC, they're probably a self insert who's hooked up with your favorite guy" I guess they think it's a good insult or something but IMO it's really dumb.
