Why are Maries Sues hated while Gary Stus are loved? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

If someone created a female character with the same story she would be called Marie Sue. Suddenly a woman loses her parents and becomes a billionaire and uses the money to fight crime. They would s. ay thOne at is not realistic.

Yes, Superman is also Gary Stu. Since you have a problem with the Batman example, then I'll use superman. Why do people tend to love characters like Gary Stu as Superman and hate female characters who are considered Marie Sue?

Why are Maries Sues hated while Gary Stus are loved? (lemmy.world)
 

Why are female characters who can solve things without anyone's help hated, but male characters who are perfect at practically everything are loved?

Batman is an example. Batman is a human being with a brilliant intellect, which is not a problem, but being a human being without powers, he manages to be more intelligent than aliens superior to humans, he manages to be a MASTER in all martial arts and no matter who the opponent is, he is always prepared and can win. Any writer who dares to create a female character with these characteristics would be attacked and called woke

There are many other examples, just watch any Japanese isekai anime. The protagonist dies and is reincarnated in another world with unrealistic powers and abilities. Out of nowhere, the boy who used to just stay at home masturbating and playing games is able to use all the magic and martial arts. Just by being born in another world, the protagonist is able to defeat wizards who have spent centuries training. And even though he has never picked up a sword, he is able to defeat dragons and swordsmen with a single blow

Any writer who dared to create a story with a female protagonist with the same characteristics would be accused of trying to push an ideological agenda and their character would be considered a Marie Sue.

Is it a pattern that every time a movie, show or animation that doesn't have a white person as the protagonist is attacked by right-wingers? (lemmy.world)
 

Could it be said that this is a pattern or that someone who comes to this conclusion is exaggerating?

For example, in many animes the characters are Asian and right-wingers don't seem to mind. Maybe because most of the characters appear to be white, or because many Japanese animes have an actual cast of white characters. They don't seem to mind if in a fictional world all the characters are white or Asian, but on the other hand they would mind if in the fictional world all the characters were black or had dark skin. Is this really a fact or an exaggeration?
