makes you wonder how they even got to this weird point until you remember the character is a black woman

You forgot her being black and a woman. To make her a "special snowflake".

Freak got gamergate-pavloved into being racist at the sight of a black woman character.

Black people: exist

Assholes: WHAT, DO YOU THINK YOU'RE SPECIAL?

Reminding people that Mary Sue is a sexist term that sexist assholes use to deter people from writing strong female characters

I once saw someone refer to some of the gods in Pathfinder as Mary Sue's

And it's like, instant psychic damage from the unseriousness

Male power fantasy character exists: so-true

Female or NGC power fantasy character exists: frothingfash

You never see people call Kratos a gary stu.

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 8 points 9 months ago

Tbh Kratos doesn't quite fit because most people in-game hate him.

[-] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 9 months ago

Y'know what valid. No one calls Master Chief a gary stu.

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 8 points 9 months ago

James Bond is a classic Mary Sue if you make him a woman

[-] RION@hexbear.net 15 points 9 months ago

it's weird how it shifted to that from "obvious self insert". I guess people think any character who isn't like them is automatically a self insert blob-no-thoughts

[-] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 16 points 9 months ago

Repeated misuse of a term by insufferable idiots sadly distorts the vernacular

[-] Comp4@hexbear.net 18 points 9 months ago

I have nothing to add except. Nuclear Throne is a good game but it felt hard to me back when I played it ages ago.

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 5 points 9 months ago

Good news, it's still hard as fuck

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 17 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Oooh, they're mad because it's a female character with melanin. Of course that's what it was.

motherfucker looked at a cast with YV in it and said "actually someone else is the mary sue"

[-] bunnygirl@hexbear.net 4 points 9 months ago

oh yeah well which of these weird and arbitrary criteria for being a mary sue does he check off

Okay but she is the worst character in terms of gameplay. All of her upsides are actually negatives and she's the hardest character to unlock. Her b-skin is also hell to unlock. There is no reason to play her at all. She's a boring and mid character at best and a direct downgrade at worst.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
