Do we need to talk again about how female protags get called Mary Sues more often then male protags, and why?
@jennygadget Fair enough. But, yeah, obvs YA and UF and fanfic get used as punching bags because of misogyny. Still criticism != hate.

@chaosprime when it's adults showing disdain for minors reading choices, I'm not caring much if it's hate or dislike.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@chaosprime my the issue is that it's not thoughtful criticism either way. -
@jennygadget It does seem more in the line of stereotype-fed snark than an analytically driven examination, yes.

@chaosprime if@BNBuzz had wanted to do thoughtful, useful crit, they would have stuck to talking about things like racism. -
@jennygadget Enh, issues like writing to formula and trope overuse are valid points to critique, aren't they? -
@chaosprime not when 1) the tropes they are talking about so closely match traditional complaints about Mary Sues

@jennygadget I'm from the internet. I've seen hate. That@BNBuzz piece doesn't even live in the same universe. -
@chaosprime I disagree.@BNBuzz makes it's money off of the teens it's dissing.
