3- Sorry, writers don't structure shows after what a tiny sect of people on the internet want. They're not thinking about "making other ships wrong" because they're generally not going "well the online fandom thinks this so we shouldn't do this." And they shouldn't cater to fandom. The general public likes seeing people hook up, and they're really the ones that matter most. They make up the largest chunk of watchers/readers/etc.

27- I think canon Sues are quite uncommon, but not totally non-existant (Bella from Twilight comes to mind, but to be fair Edward is as much a Stu as she is a Sue). I also can't think of any in anime/manga fandom, although some shoujo heroines come close in the same manner that many male shounen leads teeter on the edge of Gary-Stu. I wouldn't necessarily say they're automatically being sexist. In the fandom your picture is from, most of the people that label Kagome Sue are InuYasha/Kikyou fans for example, and last I checked she's very much female. However, the fact that the male characters that are pretty darn close to Gary Stus are hardly ever called on does, imho, speak of some sexist attitudes among fandom (he's hot and I'm attacted to him, so it's okay). I can't really think of any other reasoning behind that frequent attitude.

As for Kagome? I wouldn't really call her that lucky in love for one. IY is the one who has gotten endless second chances, so I'd say he's luckier. I'm sure the payoff will be good in the end, but her romantic issues have been not even close to sunshine and roses. And her flaws, unlike a couple members of the rest of the cast, are very much acknowledged.

I've gotten bored and run a lot of characters through the litmus test, and unless it's a series specifically aimed at females, the males usually come out higher.

66- But... Knifeguy's art is HILARIOUS!
