#marysue is trending... Once again in the most idiotic way possible.

Ok, time for a refresher I suppose...

(Thread)
For those who don't know, Mary Sue comes from a Star Trek fanfic in which the titular character appears out of nowhere, yet everyone loves her, is the best of the best of the best on everything, and achieved accomplishments that normally take a lifetime... At age 13.
Ever since then, that term is used to any character in media (normally in fanfics, but it does tend to seep into mainstream media...) who normally would be unlikeable in normal circumstances, but instead are treated like the center of the universe (mostly by the writer).
