But it's just not fun to read. OCs inserted into fanfic are already contentious enough with most folks, since there could be issues with the OC detracting from the feel of the canon. (I personally am okay with OCS if I feel they help and mesh well.) But the term Mary Sue refers to egregiously bad examples of OCs. If the OC is not enjoyable, it's more than likely going to be labeled a Mary Sue.

Self-insert characters can be alright, but Mary Sues refer to only bad examples. It'd be natural to be frustrated if one is surrounded by only bad examples, when good OCs can and do exist.

NAYRT

Side note: I am endlessly amused by author notes telling people not to use their OCs without their permission. First, no problem
Second-- babe. You write fanfic! Irony much?
