Women are perfect in everything.
It's the patriarchy holding them down.

I know this "Mary Sue" shit is anti-feminist shitposting but there's some truth to it. It all goes back to 70's Hong Kong cinema. Watch any old Angela Mao movie. She had the lithe body of an Asian trophy wife, no muscles, nothing, yet she can whup several guys' asses all at once. This became sort of a fetish in Hong Kong, a hot chick unrealistically kicking ass, then there were the hot hong kong chick spy movies like Black Cat, even Jackie Chan used Michelle Yeoh in Supercop, then the hot hong kong chicks with guns fighting hardcore thug chinese triads. But now the only difference is they can't be looked at as sexy anymore. They retain their femininity, yet you have to act like a beta white knight around them when they save a guy character's ass. It's not a fetish anymore, it's female empowerment and the women are looking fitter (daisy's legs damn). I don't feel intimidated by it. If you do, you're an insecure, male (most likely republican) shitlord. Go look at porn or something if it bruises your male ego numbnuts.

How could women be perfect in everything if others could hold them down?
>>
>>63950369
But she has no abilities either.

That's the hilarious part. It's right fucking there:

>we're equally capable
>but, uh, we need to be empowered by men

>>63950369
>>63950558
>>63950865

none of these examples are mary sues

rey, however, is a mary sue
>>
>>63950865

But she's not strong or a character.

I'll grant that she is female.

>>63950558
What? How?

Jean Grey is basically omnipotent, how is that not Mary Sue?
>>
>>63951503
While that may be true, it's not a flaw in the movie.
>>
>>63949945
>strong character ≠ mary sue

whats meant by strong characters are actually complex well written characters with working psychologies, a big part of which is weakness and flaws. sometimes you hear about three-dimensional characters or characters with "depth" in this manner

mary sues are just bad fucking writing

>>63951973
careful there tumblrina, don't want to give yourself a heart attack

>>63951820
She'd pretty much always dead, prone to trying to kill the universe, and is generally a fucking mess

Sue!=powerful
>>
>>63949945
>strong
why do people keep saying that?
All I saw was weak, weak, weak
>>
>>63952067
She's also a giant bitch. In one story, upon Cyclops becoming president and finally being happy, she proceeds to undo reality.

Because she can

>>63949945
There seems to be two kinda of Mary Sue/Gary Stu types

1.) overpowered individual/stuff comes way too easy to them

2.) self inserts

Those are two radically different archetypes, almost to the point where they're opposites.

Janeway was a self insert for Jeri Taylor, at least in the episodes she wrote or had major influence over.

I have about as much respect for Cuck Wars as I do for the dog shit on my shoe.
It is Reddit, it is capeshit, it is cheeto dust, it is video games. It's nothing more than meme's enjoyed by simplistic pledditors. I have ZERO respect for people who are not free thinkers and blindly enjoy the capeshit redditory Reddit show that is The Force Awakens.
I'm literally screaming, slamming my arms on my desk right now just thinking about it.

This makes me so sad. Sure, he could have been a furry, but he also could have just been somebody who's trying to spread some joy.
