Sup Mari! Sorry for the late reply, been swamped with work. I kind of just posted the entry and ignored lj for the rest of the day.
For me Mary Sue as a word has just completely lost all meaning. I mean now adays when I hear someone say "mary sue" it can really mean whatever the hell that person wants it to mean. So even in cases where the word might really apply I hate it being used cause it doesnt even really mean what it's supposed to mean anymore. if that makes sense.
I agree that some characters are too perfect or just paper thin but I feel like at those moments I'd rather people call it like that, instead of Mary Sue cause as I said at this ponit wtf does that even really MEAN? I do wonder if anyone thinks about it anymore.
