No, I feel like they're fairly correct. Late 00s and onward was where I really saw the term "Mary Sue" get thoroughly appropriated by the mainstream. It was used a lot before then, but mostly by fandom.

Early 2010s seemed to be the period where every jackass with fragile masculinity issues came out of the woodwork to shit on OFCs because "Ugh, she's better at things than men are! That's so unrealistic! What a Mary Sue!"

OP here. Yeah, exactly this. I didn't mean to imply that Mary Sue hasn't been used before then, because obviously it came from fanzine Star Trek fic. What I meant was the practice of dudebros appropriating a term they know zero history of. That happened mainly in the 2010s.
