Here's my Grand Unified Theory of the Mary Sue as Cuckoo, which I've been working on for three years. Ide Cyan 10:41, 27 April 2006 (PDT) So maybe I'm just a clueless guy, but I don't see sexism as central to the hatred of the Mary Sue. A true Mary Sue or Gary Stu is a self-indulgent insertion of one's idealized self into canon. Similar narcissicistic selves are common in all amateur fiction, from fanfic to porno to self-published novels from vanity presses. While certainly there is sexism in one heck of a lot of attacks upon fanfic, I don't perceive the centrality of sexism in the attack upon the Mary Sue.--Orangemike 13:46, 27 April 2006 (PDT)
