The sexism/misogyny part is only true sometimes. Yes, a lot of people, especially men, who rail against female protagonists for being Mary Sues are being sexist. That is very common. But not every person who calls a character in a piece of original fiction a Mary Sue is being sexist. I disagree with their use of the term, but I don't believe their thinking MUST be sexist and can be explained in no other way.

Beyond that, though, I wholeheartedly agree with you. An over-powered, overly perfect, or bland but heavily praised and focused on character in original fiction is just a poorly written character. Mary Sue is a fanfic term. It was invented to described a specific trope that occurred within fanfiction, and it fundamentally changes the nature of what a Mary Sue is if you apply the term to original fiction. If you apply the term Mary Sue to original fiction is becomes so broad and so utterly subjective as to be completely meaningless.
