The probable reason why "mary sues" are harshed on so much is because of their ubiquity. Based on that alone, it's not an unfair criticism.

Speaking for myself, I don't like "mary sues" or the idealized self-insert is because people who are exciting or amazing or respectively lead such lifestyles almost always are not authors or comic book artists or the like; which in turn demonstrates just how trite and deserving of criticism this practice really is. It also creates an opening for an unhealthy amount of personal bias into a story, usually for worse.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-10-09 15:46:50

What about the chick who writes Johnny Walker? That's a self-insert that's not a mary sue.

Tre · 2012-10-09 15:48:32

^x3 Good point.

I'm mostly going to retire from Stuck after Sparks because of the whole self-insert thing. I'm not gonna say I'm fully done with it but still, at the very least it most likely won't exclusively focus on Tre (and even then, the books never really stick with him the whole time anyway).

Justice4243 · 2012-10-09 15:52:22

I think auto-bio comics get something of a pass.

I mean, Yuko and Ananth don't fight crime or have special powers or anything...Unless you count this:

Also "Wander" not "Walker", but that's an easy mistake to make. I don't think either of them make sub-par Scotch /alcohol snob

I liked the one where someone got dependent on drug, and died, because the loss of human life is funny as heck.

No, I mean hipsters have instilled in me a fear of liking anything mainstream.

Waka Flocka reminds me of Gangstalicious from the Boondocks.

I bet it tastes like ass when you're done. /sour grapes

Hexartes · 2012-10-09 16:26:58

Actually, I think it's mainly because I always take any criticism of anything I like way too personally, and every time I enjoy something without seeing any criticism of it I make it up for myself.

Misery · 2012-10-09 16:32:28

i love k-pop

She leads a lonely life

She leads a lonely life

When she woke up late in the morning

Light and the day had just begun

She opened up her eyes and thought

O' what a morning

It's not a day for work

It's a day for catching sun

Just laying on the beach and having fun

She's going to get you

All that she wants is another baby

She's gone tomorrow boy

All that she wants is another baby

All that she wants is another baby

She's gone tomorrow boy

All that she wants is another baby

All that she wants, all that she wants

So if you are in sight and the day is right

She's a hunter you're the fox

The gentle voice that talks to you

Won't talk forever

It's a night for passion

But the morning means goodbye

Beware of that is flashing in her eyes

She's going to get you

All that she wants

Corporal Forsythe · 2012-10-09 16:35:43

Justice4243 · 2012-10-09 16:36:09

I've made irish soda bread before, and yes it really is easy.

Easy and tasty.

I really should expand my bread making repertoire.

Fun fact: My first attempt at spelling "repertoire" was so off, Google suggested "Reptar".

Misery · 2012-10-09 16:36:34

From Facepalm Studios, the studio that brought you the movie "George and Lenny adopt the Baudelaire Children and everyone lives happily ever after" comes another light-hearted piece of mass media!

Louis XIV: Mazarin's revenge!

Narrator: In a world, where a dying man's wish can tear families apart...

Male Voice: "You were my brother, Louis! I waited thirty five years for the kingship!"

Female Voice: "You were my husband, Louis! I waited twenty-five years in your shadow for the regency"

Male Voice: "You were my patient, Louis! Don't you dare die on me! The world needs you! You promised me you would outlive your scheming family! You promised me that you wouldn't die until I could explain why you have two rows of teeth. You promised!"

Peasant Voices: "You were our king, Louis! You led us to harmony and prosperity. What's going to happen to us without you and Richelieu?"

Richelieu's Ghost: "You were my lackey, Louis! And now you're wrecking all of my perfect plans by just dying. Seriously, banning your brother the throne on your deathbed? What were you thinking, do you want a civil war? -sigh- Only Mazarin can save France now"

Louis XIV and Philippe of France, five and three years old, respectively: "Daddy? Daddy? Are you okay?"

Narrator: One man must bring them together...

Mazarin: I'm surrounded by children, schemers, idiots, and factions. I don't have time for this political crap! As Chief Minister, I will show these royal dunces how scheming and oppressing the people is really done. There will be peace whether the French citizens like it or not! Ooh, shiny diamonds!

Historians: This is not how it actually happened. What is this jun-mobbed by French Peasants-

Salix Babylonika · 2012-10-09 16:43:03

Gentlemen, as the culmination of all human achievement in the past five thousand years, I give you....
