I agree with this.

That "not being called on their bullshit" this is like the defining feature of a Sue for me. I remember trying to read the Anita Blake series, and as it progressed, it wasn't that she didn't have flaws—it was that everyone else acted like she was flawless. And the whole world seemed to fall in line with it, by almost always making her "right" in the end. Oh, was she being stupid and stubborn and mean to people around her for no reason? Well, her instincts were RIGHT, so-and-so is dangerous! So it's okay.

It's bad writing, and as overused as the term IS, it's useful to have a term that describes it.

I think the biggest issue with the more current Anita Blake series is the author decided to Suethor herself in it so deeply it messed everything up. Like Anita Blake's werewolf boyfriend? He allegedly represents her ex husband. Anita breaks up with him, and yet the author keeps dragging him into the story just to browbeat him some more for the issues she has with her ex in real life. It's really silly.
