I think Mary Sues get a pass with everything else because it's actually pretty easy to do it accidentally. Sometimes OCs are necessary, and easy to fall in love with on the author's part. Then it snowballs, they're suddenly the main character, and you can't even kill them off because it would just be another cliché. For an inexperienced writer, it's hard to avoid the Mary Sue trap, and some of them don't even realize they're doing it.

(I'm speaking as the Guilty >.> Thank goodness I'm not a teenager anymore.)

So for me, it's another case of experience versus inexperience. The only way someone can figure out it's bad writing is for someone else to gently take them by the hand and say, "Sweetie... pink/purple/blue sparkle hair, half-vampire/half-unicorn and a giant mecha... I have some bad news for you." That takes putting it in a public place.

I try to think of it as the price of having no entry exams. Unpleasant, but hopefully they'll get better before the next generation starts the cycle over.
