artist: makes a weak female character
people: that’s incredibly degrading to women! MARY SUE!
artist: doesn’t make a female character
people: WHY DON’T YOU HAVE ANY FEMALE CHARACTERS? ARE YOU SEXIST? WOW WHAT AN ASSHOLE.
Is there some crazy bizarro universe where people call ALL characters they don’t like Mary Sues now? Cause last I checked it was only supposed to refer to poorly constructed characters who lack real flaws and/or character depth.
I’ve seen a lot of people on my dash getting upset about this lately but I haven’t seen any of the thing that’s supposedly happening. I don’t know who in their right mind would call an “average” character a Mary Sue. :/
