Yeah adding a badass female character =/= feminism, but she did end up being loved by a lot of the general female audience so what's wrong with that? She doesn't take away or change anything fundamental from the story. She's just a neat addition and gives more emotional weight to the stuff that's happening with Kili.

She is not any more of a Mary-Stu than Legolas since they were both pretty equal in skill except Legolas is supposedly a higher-class of elf.

Also Tauriel didn't even have several characters pining after her. The stuff with Legolas seemed more like he was an overprotective brother and they didn't push any romance into their relationship. Most of their interaction was because Thranduil only cares about his own people and Legolas was being a daddy's boy by also not approving of her trying to help the dwarves or getting involved in the outside world. A big part of Legolas character development is becoming different from his father in his world view. His behavior towards Tauriel's desire to help the dwarves/world lays a good foundation for when Legolas eventually joins a fellowship containing mixed races to save the world and becomes good friends with a dwarf.

The only 'romance' was between her and Kili. She was intrigued by him and she kept saving him at every opportunity.

Yeah, I was kinda iffy at first about her character being added with romance, but after I saw the movie the Kili x Tauriel stuff was cute seeing as how there is this theme of dwarves and elves hating each other.
