I feel like too many people confuse "Mary Sue" and "Protagonist" tbh. Or they look at a character who has story importance and try to claim they're a Mary Sue for having that importance. I see it happen all the time.

People just tend to call Mary Sue on a whim and consider their opinion a fact

It reminds me of a rant I saw on tumblr where someone was talking about how they hated TV Tropes for not treating their opinion that Katniss is a Canon Sue to be a fact.

Like they were literally mad because the site flagged that stuff as YMMV. Like I'm not even going to get into the controversy and legit issues about the site because I know there are. But that was a pretty ridiculous reason to decide that a whole site is "bullshit".

wow. that's pretty sad.

Yeah. I honestly hate what people like that have done to the term. It used to be useful but I feel like they tried to make Mary Sue apply to EVERY kind of bad character instead of one type of bad character.

Also I'm really irrationally annoyed by the notion that Mary Sue means something different/has a different definition form person to person. Because when a word can mean anything it means nothing.

I think you are rationally annoyed, and this is a fandom thing that drives me bonkers. See: drabble, headcanon, and a million other terms. People come in, hear a word, use it incorrectly, repeat 100 times, then yell that "meanings change!" when told they're using it incorrectly. Instead of the evolution of language, it's devolution, where the meaning somehow drops down to the dumbest common denominator.

At this point I detest that term. As soon as someone uses it I just stop reading. SO SICK of female characters being held to ridiculous scrutiny. God fucking forbid we have heroines and go on a journey through a girl's eyes.

Katniss is flawed in a normal way and has normal strengths.
