for every shitty white men loved by people who claim to “appreciate complicated characters” there are 10 women or characters of color constantly getting hate from fandom for maybe having done like a couple of bad things because fandom loves to pretend they want complicated characters until these characters aren’t only arguably attractive white men

man, teenaged girls aren’t allowed to have a genuine interest in anything without being ridiculed for it. if a girl likes ugg boots and starbucks she’s stupid and stereotypical, but if she likes combat boots and obscure coffee houses she’s a hipster wannabe and is trying too hard. if a girl listens to boy bands and other popular artists she’s a dumb follower, if she reads comics or plays video games she’s a poser/fake geek girl, if she likes sex she’s a slut but if she doesn’t like sex she’s a prude, if she wears makeup she’s fake but if she doesn’t wear makeup she’s a slob, if she has low self-esteem she needs to learn to love herself but if she has high self-esteem she’s overconfident and vain, if she’s interested in politics she’s a crazy social justice warrior but if she prefers to stay out of social matters she’s a dumb airhead. girls are literally mocked for every single thing they like or do, no matter what those things are, and i’m really really sick of it.

Female character: *does minor, irrelevant thing that could potentially be seen as bad*

Fandom: we hate her and she's a manipulative bitch! I hope she dies!

Male character: *has done a whole bunch of fucked up shit, potentially killed lots of people*

Fandom: I love him so much! I will protect him with my life! He's such a precious puppy!

The creator of what was probably *the* Mary Sue Litmus Test back in the day has disavowed the term/test and doesn't mince words about why.

yourocdoeswhat

I was gonna just talk in the tags but I changed my mind because I have some stuff to say.

This test? The Mary Sue Litmus Test? I used this religiously. I would make a new character and then run them through this like my life depended on it. I was thirteen, and I thought that if my characters were Mary-Sues then no one would take me seriously. I bought totally into the popular idea that any woman who had more than two talents was a Mary-Sue. I was convinced that I was better than those other people who had OC’s that I saw as Mary-Sues. I would look at examples of Mary-Sues and try to avoid them, even if they were characters that I personally loved. I didn’t even need to click that link. I still had it bookmarked in my ‘writing’ bookmark folder from seven years ago.

It drove me to change my first ever OC’s. I was thirteen. Thirteen! I was an 8th grader in middle school utterly terrified of people seeing my sexy demon OC or my pretty immortal OC or my cool freedom fighter OC and the first thing they’d think was that they were too good. The culture around (mostly women) original characters needing to be watered down or having to have the character’s (mostly women’s) skills and talents justified were toxic as hell to me, and I’m sure to others.

Seeing this today was a major blast from the past, and I’m so glad that the creator changed their outlook on this whole thing. I hope that disclaimer will ward off another creative eighth-grader before they get tricked into buying into the shame culture that forms around the creation of original characters.

Male Character: *fucks up 100 times* Fans: “No one is perfect. He’s flawed so there is room for development!”

Female Character: *is not the epitome of perfection* Fans: “Sorry. I just hate this character.”

morbidlyqueerious

Male Character: *is perfect*

Fans: It’s an awesome power fantasy! It’s so inspiring!

Female Character: *is above average in any skill*

Fans: mmm… it’s fine I guesssss but why does she have to be such a mary sue??? just asking because I’m not sure it’s realistic…. hmmm…

This becomes 600% more depressing when you remember the majority of fandom participants are women.

Digimon Adventure 02 ~ Episode 50 (Japanese version) + Chosen Children families + Supporting their children and relatives

Noriko’s father: “Noriko? Where’s Noriko?” Hiroaki Ishida: “Don’t worry. Let’s leave it to them.” Noriko’s father: “But...” Natsuko Takaishi: “All we can do now is believe in them.” Mrs. Motomiya: “Believe in Daisuke and the rest...” Yuuko Yagami: “They will come back. Just like they did three years ago.” Miyako’s sister: “Three years ago?” Masami Izumi: “YES, and THEY will THIS time, as well.” (Indicating/including Koushiro, Masami’s Adopted child) Haruhiko Takenouchi: “They can do things we’d {~~adults~~/~~Not-Chosen~~} would ~~never be able to~~.” {Eventually, even this statement of Haruhiko’s is proven False by the later narratives} Toshiko Takenouchi: “Good luck, Sora...” “Everyone.”
