Nope to 1 and 2. 3, if by it you mean "Hey, people write shitty male Mary Sues in fiction all the time! So female ones should be equally accepted!"

And I quote: "Why should female characters have to be realistic, while male characters have all the fun?"

Yeah, cause the problem with Mary Sues is that they're not realistic. /eyeroll. It couldn't be because after the umpteenth SparkleMoon Prettyshine who's half dragon angel demon elf and has blue, black, and pink striped hair and psychic powers, it gets old.

Or another one I liked "If you pare it down to its essence, a Mary Sue is simply a character who is remarkable, heroic, inspiring. Why shouldn’t we celebrate that?"

Yeah, that's exactly what a Mary-Sue is. We just can't stand remarkable inspiring women. That's why we deleted the original Mary, mother of Christ, right out of the Bible and you won't hear nothing about her these days.

If you want some examples of this "Male Sues are in pop fiction, so why shouldn't female Sues be??? we need more Mary Sues!" I've nabbed a few articles for you to peruse:

We Need More Mary Sues.

Call the Character Police! We've got a Mary Sue!

What’s So Wrong With Being a Mary Sue?

Mind you, these are not people arguing that pimply 14-year old girls should be able to write their half dragon half demon angel elf sparkledog girl in peace--they're arguing that we need more Mary Sue style characters in popular fiction.

Maybe next time you should believe me when I say I'm responding to X, instead of going "Hey I know better than that person what they're referring to, I bet you were really talking about Y & Z weren't you?"

totally rude.
