These articles themselves, once clicked, fail to name anyone who is actually calling Arya a Mary Sue. All we get is claims attributing the sentiment to “men”, “dudes”, “dudebros” or “people”. But where’s the evidence? Plenty of rebuttals, but zero actual claims.pic.twitter.com/I0OObrBPnF
In this article by Glamour magazine this is the best they could find. One tweet by an obscure twitter account with zero influence. That’s it. They mention one critical tweet but were able to feature 11 tweets from blue checks angry about people using the Mary Sue term!pic.twitter.com/m10jpS67CQ
Ottism Jesus has just 117 followers on Twitter. In contrast, the accounts going wild over the supposed hordes of upset men terming Arya Stark a Mary Sue have hundreds of thousands.pic.twitter.com/AxMoZ3QT1g
A twitter search for the trending term Mary Sue reveals no results at all of men terming Arya a Mary Sue character. There may well be some out there, but the first 50 tweets I looked at were journalists reacting to something that doesn’t seem to actually exist.pic.twitter.com/RGnf3XlhVc
The only media post out there that casts doubt over this #gameofthrones “Mary Sue” nonsense is this article from The Inquisitr that accurately says this supposed wave on online misogyny just isn’t true.

In conclusion, journalists are lying to you, and if they’re lying about this then you can be sure that they are lying to you about much much more. The narrative of “men = bad” is being pushed down everybody’s throat with no concern whatsoever about truth.
PS: In the interests of fairness, I was able to find this ONE tweet by Jack Posobiec terming Arya Stark a Mary Sue, but this was genuinely all I could find.https://twitter.com/jackposobiec/status/1122993567406927873?s=21 …
