Y'know, for a while I wondered why Tumblr users sperg about cartoons so much. But the popularity of posts like this, and the sheer degree which they are impressed by overused, stale-as-fuck tropes, makes me realize that it's because if you presented them with material more emotionally mature than shows made for 8-year olds, their brains would probably just fizzle out and quit.

Every classroom in Tumbr University is a 'safe space', with pillows and coloring books and no teachers. No homework either. Or classwork. No men allowed on campus. Only trans-ethnic otherkin sonicgendered feminists.

Local muggers and "ethnics" notice there is a completely defenseless nest of idiots with lots of re-sellable things like phones, laptops, pads, etc.
And they rob the fuck out of the place.
Guess how long Tumblr University lasts? It might take them 20 or 30 times to figure it out but that shit would end eventually.

This is why you just enjoy things you like and don't give a shit about society's opinion of that.
And seriously, avoid fandoms, they are shit.

A lot of people on tumblr praise basic and lame writing. They want good stories and characters, but they can't challenge them too much.
Most female fans can be disgustingly hypocritical and entitled, but it's misogyny if you call it out. Posts like that are why I don't ever side with "fake geeks" or anyone okay with Mary Sues.

It's more because they've never experienced anything with genuinely deep writing, ever. If your example of deepness is Steven Universe, then you should probably get out and watch something else.

Hello, Andrea Dworkin! When did you start using Tumblr?
Also, if you hate men so much, why is your username a play on the name of a white, straight cis-male artist?

There was a post I saw ages ago that was talking about how writing shitty Mary Sues in fanfiction is a-ok because of female empowerment. Somehow.

Oh, god, the SJWs and Tumblrtards wouldn't know good from bad writing if it bit them on the ass. Excuse me for a moment, here's a bit of a rant regarding Mary Sues:
A Mary Sue (which can be male) is a character who fundamentally breaks the story. They're allowed to trash and break all the story continuity, all the rules, just for the sake of cool factor and authorial favoritism. On top of that, there's an extreme egoism and narcissism bellying Mary Sues, as the world usually revolves around them, despite it making no sense whatsoever. On top of that, there's usually extreme double standards of morality in such stories. The author, due to the aforementioned authorial favoritism, will treat it as perfectly okay for the Mary Sue to do something horrific like torture innocent people for information, but it's bad if the other guy does it because they oppose the Mary Sue.
At the end of the day, a Mary Sue is awful writing. To treat it as empowering is to ignore how weak such a character is. The character is so weak that they cannot do things unless their author gives them all sorts of cheats and outs. They do not grow as characters. They do not learn new skills, nor have to put in the effort needed to become skilled. Everything is handed to them, meaning they are worse than worthless as role models.

Of course, what's exceedingly funny is that SJWs bitch and moan abut how using male as a default is bad. But if you use a female name as a default for a trope (such as with Mary Sues, named after a Mary Sue in a Star Trek fanfiction that parodied the concept of Mary Sues), they then bitch about sexism. Point is, fuck them, they're unpleasable.

That was the exact post. Thank you for bringing this abomination back into the light of day.

And that's not getting into how many Mary Sue fics bash the canonical female characters, because god forbid any other woman be nearly as awesome as them, and are entirely focused on getting all the hot guys to fight over them. Seriously, I can kind of relate to the ones clearly written by thirteen year olds, but unless you want to defend Twilight as great feminist literature, don't try to push objectively bad writing as being empowering.
(If you do want to defend Twilight as great feminist literature, please write long essays about it. I could use the laughs.)
There was another one I saw complaining about how Batman is totally a Mary Sue but nobody cares because he's a dude, and therefore Mary Sues are totally valid writing. I seriously doubt the person who wrote it had ever read a comic book in their life.

You bring up a good point I initially missed writing about, Rin. You are right, that female Mary Sues often denigrate all the other female characters and treat them all as horrible whores for showing the slightest interest in one of the male characters.
Nope. I'm actually in contact with reality. Though there could have been something interesting with some aspects of the story (namely how the Volturi are the ones preventing vampires from becoming tyrants and genociding humans, and prevents them from murdering scores of children), Meyer ignores all those implications in favor over her stupid sparkly vampire fantasy because she's a shit writer.
The thing is, if you go by the surface traits usually associated with Mary Sues, Batman does have a lot of those traits. However, many (including such idiots who claim Batman is a Mary Sue) mistake the window dressing for the rot underneath. Many Mary Sues, regardless of gender, have tragic pasts, lots of wealth, and/or heavy wish fulfillment aspects, but the issue of Mary Sues is of that authorial favoritism and of breaking the believably of the world. Batman fits into the world he's in and doesn't break all the previously established unbreakable rules. Eragon doesn't fit, Bella Swan doesn't fit, etc.
They don't understand that it's the execution of the concepts that's important, not a checklist of ideas You can have brilliant ideas, but if you bungle how you handle them, they're garbage.
...Actually, that explains so much about their mentality, the more I think about it.
The situation also reminds me of Arsené Lupin. It's where popular culture has an idea of "oh, this is an amazingly skilled character"and idolize such characters without delving into any of the source material, leading to people assuming the character is perfect. Highly competent, powerful, and/or skilled characters are not the same as a Mary Sue. A big issue with Arsene Lupin has to do with his character flaws (can be incredibly selfish, frivolous, etc.) and criminality (he is a burglar). The same issue of "skilled/competent, but character is flawed" can be said of incarnations of Batman- that he's fixated on the past in an unhealthy way, obsessive, a vigilante, and in some versions he cares far more for the mask (Batman) than the person (Bruce Wayne). When you have a very skilled character, the way to avoid a Mary Sue is to involve the person's negative character traits and to give their antagonists equal footing.
Like I've said, SJWs and Tumblrtards wouldn't know good writing if it bit them in the ass. As someone else previously said, it's no wonder they sperg out over pretty basic shit and stuff meant to be handled by younger audiences. They seem unable to handle complex stories and complex characterization. (It's too much work, after all, and they then can't boil things down to black and white, nor can they project all their ideological bullshit so easily onto complex works.)
