Top Ten Ways People Prove They Don't Know What a Mary Sue Is

Some people accuse characters that arn't Mary Suesas a mary sue. They obvoiusly don't know what a mary sue is.
The Top Ten
1 They say that their OC is perfectly fine when it's a mary sue

Will someone PLEASE explain what being a Mary Sue/Gary Stu implies?

2 They accuse Warriors characters (besides Jessy) of being Mary Sues

I see a lot of people call Dovewing or Spottedleaf a mary sue. They are not, you can't even make up 10 reasons why they are a sue.Jessy is a sue,she was a quick learner and had guys gunning after her, that's probably a lie, but its close enough.If you made a list why any cat was a sue, yes, including Jessy,most of them would be made up

Okay, I used to think spottedleaf was a sue (now I don't) even though I still hate her

3 They call a human a mary sue/gary stu

What if they want to call the character Mary Sue but not in personality. Gary Stu would be a strange name for a character though.

My past self in a nutshell.

4 They say a character is not a sue/stu when you give good reasons that they are

I still haven't done it but I'm pretty sure people will say that the character isn't a sue. I'm sure the character is a sue because I've read enough books about her to know that she's one.

5 They list at least 10 things to prove that it's a sue/stu and most things are made up
6 They say that Jessy (Warriors) is not a Mary Sue
7 They say your OC is a Sue/Stu when it might be a borderline, anti, or normal OC
8 They make stuff up about the character saying these are reasons they are mary sues/gary stus
9 They call a character they haven't gotten to know enough a sue/stu
10 They call characters they hate mary sues

Exactly! Is calling somebody a Mary Sue or Gary Stu a sign of hating them? This question is rhetorical, but then again...

Example sakura from naruto or serena from pokemon, when it should be characters like chloe carmicheal from the fop

The Contenders
11 They accuse (these chars. specifically) Dovewing, SpottedLeaf, and Lionblaze of being a sue/stu

Meanwhile they love Firestar, Jessy, and Jayfeather and call them non-sues

12 They call a character a Sue/Stu and then proceed to list their flaws
13 Usually they think any character with Anxiety, Insecurities, etc. is seeking attention.
14 They say Kirito isn't a Mary Sue

He isn't a mary sue, He's a gary stu

15 They think a character with many powers is a Sue/Stu

A character could be half demon/half angel with 7 powers and still have flaws in their personality - RoseWeasley

16 They think being more talented than another in a particular activity qualifies that characters as a Gary Stu/Mary Sue
17 They give a bunch of unrealistic heroic scenarios and traits to the character to prove they're not a Sue/Stu
