Revealing Sexism
prevnextThat dudes are using “Mary Sue” to describe Arya Stark removes all doubt that it's just a sexist term used to convey the belief that only men should have cool heroic moments in movies.

Delusional
prevnextIt's *super weird* that a bunch of men started having issues with Star Wars, GoT, Avengers/MCU once women started having larger roles. Claiming Arya Stark is a Mary Sue is delusional.

Real Meaning
prevnextMary sue just means "girl power fantasy that doesn't appeal to me personally".

Really Bizarre
prevnextThe Arya Mary Sue argument is really bizarre. Stealth has been something we've seen her do a lot already (perhaps even to supernatural degrees) and they even set it up again two weeks ago when she snuck up on Jon in that exact same spot.

Admit It
prevThe only tea here is that if Jon had defeated the Night King instead of Arya, or if any male star wars character had defeated Kylo in that battle instead of Rey, y'all petty male nerds wouldn't be calling them "Mary Sue".
