"Mary Sue, what are you? or why the concept of Sue is sexist"

Found this on Tumblr.

So, there’s this girl. She’s tragically orphaned and richer than anyone on the planet. Every guy she meets falls in love with her, but in between torrid romances she rejects them all because she dedicated to what is Pure and Good. She has genius level intellect, Olympic-athelete level athletic ability and incredible good looks. She is consumed by terrible angst, but this only makes guys want her more. She has no superhuman abilities, yet she is more competent than her superhuman friends and defeats superhumans with ease. She has unshakably loyal friends and allies, despite the fact she treats them pretty badly. They fear and respect her, and defer to her orders. Everyone is obsessed with her, even her enemies are attracted to her. She can plan ahead for anything and she’s generally right with any conclusion she makes. People who defy her are inevitably wrong.

God, what a Mary Sue.

I just described Batman.

This!

The whole thing here.

Clean Up

I just tried to clean up ye olde reading circle - there were all sorts of duplicate open ID/Actual DW accounts. If I got rid of you, I didn't mean to, there were lots of boxes to tick and untick :) So if you were erroneously removed, please let me know.

I've created a sister comm to our one on LJ
