I chose depends, because fandom is also way to quick with calling others hypocritical when it comes to female characters. Misogyny is used as a convenient argument to prove that everyone who criticizes your favorite character is in fact evil, if you are lucky enough that your favorite character is female. It's really tiring.

In the second option I chose depends, because the MAry Sue paranoia can also be explained by the fact that there are so many more Mary Sues in the female dominated fandom. (female authors = female wish fulfillment characters)

I love it so much! It's from wicked_visons. As long as you credit her, you're fine. Lots of people use it, unsurprisingly. :)
