Mary Sue

A Mary Sue is an idealized and seemingly perfect fictional character. Often, this character is recognized as an author insert or wish fulfillment. They can usually perform better at tasks than should be possible given the amount of training or experience. A male can also be referred to as a Marty Stu or Gary Stu, but Mary Sue is used more commonly.

While Mary Sue is too nebulous to be judged by any hard and fast standard, certain traits have become surprisingly popular in defining what "makes" a Sue. In an effort to make their characters more attractive without having to do the leg work of natural character development, the authors just add some of these superficial traits to their characters.

Mary Sue

The worst contribution made by the Star Trek fandom to the popular zeitgeist, oh yeah sure, we thought we were hot shit, but then the fuckin' assholes in that right wing "CuLtUrE wAr" grift decided to steal it just like they probably stole a bunch of peoples' money for their shit fanfilms which have so little substance, but I digress.
High I'm Troy McClure, you may remember me from such Urban Dictionary definitions as, Soaking: A Mormon's wild weekend and Elon Musk: The Dumb-man's Tony Stark, I'm here to tell you on behalf of the Star Trek fandom, "We're sorry we invented the term Mary Sue"
