There is a trend at work that is really irritating, and almost infuriating. The reaction to the criticism of Rey is absolutely insane. I think I'm going to have to write another rant blog about this stupidity.
And since it involves fan fiction, and this is a fanfiction site, it'll be perfect.
Oh Hanuman give me strength.
I thought the idea that she was a Mary Sue was widespread?
I saw the same thing mentioned on the WoW forums ("... Thrall should go to the SW universe and bump off Rey so he can take back his rightful title of Ultimate Mary Sue.")
3883966 There's been backlash.
It's "widespread" among people like us. I.E. people who are knowledgable about these things, even a little bit. But a vast, vast swathe of people just handwave it.
It's disgusting, and I AM going to rant about it.
