sorry I have a lot of thoughts on this

ugh agreed. I still remember seeing a tumblr blog where someone threw a temper tantrum about how TV tropes is so bullshit because ...they told her that her opinion that Katniss is a Mary Sue is just an opinion . (YMMV on the site, it has its problems...but seriously this is a dumb reason).

People like this have just ruined any meaning it had because everyone wants their definition to be the right one. Also about the Katniss thing I read the books and tbh I thought that she earned her right to attention and such considering she got it through surviving a huge death fight...and then surviving another one. It bothers me that it seems like any female protagonist is a Sue. If Mary Sues break the suspension of disbelief....its' pretty much like people saying that it breaks their suspension of disbelief if..even in a fantasy or fictional universe a girl does something cool.

But the a boy who's the chosen one (as much as I love Harry Potter) and is part of a prophecy is ,mostly widely adored. But girl who becomes well known in her world by fighting for her own survival such a ridiculous concept.

It's sad, but for a while the whole Mary Sue thing used to make me afraid to write female characters and I ended up making them muted or passive characters because I was so afraid of the ridicule that came with being accused or writing a "Sue" . Thankfully I've grown out of that though and plan on writing some awesome females to the best of my ability and don't really give a damn if someone thinks they're Sues for being a little cool.
