Is your favorite character a mary sue?

>here's a chart of symptoms for you to know if you have autism!
>IT ONLY ATTACKS THE SYMPTOMS, WHY WON'T IT MAGICALLY HEAL ME!

"mary sue" means absolutely jack shit anymore.

You don't become an orphan if your parents die as an adult you dumbo. Otherwise everyone's grandparents would be orphans.

This. They were right about Rey and now every character they don't like gets the same treatment.

"character is bisexual"
Fuck this chart and the faggot that made it. "Mary Sue" is a useless, strawman insult used to describe characters you don't like.

This is why Mary Sue is a meaningless term

>tfw self-insert with a score of 2, and that's being generous

Get dabbed on senpai.

Nah, bisexuals have always been attention seeking faggots who want to seem more special. I'd say that's actually the most fitting thing on that list.

The problem with this test is that it's not relative to the story at large.

Like, take the eye colour thing. My character exists in a world where many people (arguably, the majority) have more animal-esque eyes (entirely black, slitted, goat-like). So she has weird lizard eyes and hair that are strange in our world, but totally normal in hers.

>heterochromia
Nope.
>hair color
Nope.
>scar
Nope.
>Orphan
Well, his parents died when he was a grown ass man, so I'll say nope.
>rich family
Yeah. At the start he wasn't Wayne-Tier, but still rich.
>halfbreed
Nope.
>villain killed [...]
Nope.
>Chosen One
Nope.
>Opportunistic Ancestors
Nope.
>Genius
Yup.
>Mastered Skill
Eh. At the start he was shown as a talented engineer, but amassed more and more ridiculous feats. Nothing on par with Pym or Richards though. Mark that down as you will.
>Casanova
Well, the guy's gotten cucked like 3 times and he couldn't even get it up in a few instances. But sure, mark it down as a Yes since it is a defining characteristic.

I honestly don't think he's a Gary Stu.

Don't fill out any of them and your character becomes and NPC

Uhh, not really.

He isn't even human, not really at least.

>character is a chosen one
Yes
>Character has a background full of forward thinkers

You're trying too hard to fit in.

Hmm, so not one I guess.

>is an orphan
he went from two parents to two parents. Never had the actual orphan experience like Batman

>had opportunistic ancestors; Jor El.
Maybe this if a father counts as an ancestor

>human nature allows himself to be better
this one only applies to half breeds so nope

You know many?

It's the latest fad, so I know plenty of people who claim to be, yes. I know plenty more people who have turned 30 and aged out of it.

>orphan
>genius
>skilled at young age
Him being almost a Gary Stu doesn’t seem right to me

>chosen one
This one pisses me off the most. Why is this trope so popular? It automatically kills all dramatic tension if the protagonist is meant to succeed *even* in-universe. This is not fun and yet it's so common, how is this possible

I'm getting too many maybes/ifs for Silver Surfer on this list.

You don't age out of a sexuality, you either have one male partner or a female partner. It's not a hard concept to grasp.

There's no shame in curiosity. There's only shame in being ashamed.

Identity’s hard,

This isn't a Mary-Sue test, it's an, "is your character an overused cliche" test. I thought Mary-Sue was a term meant to define a character that is consistently surrounded by plot armour and is basically infalliable/unbeatable, save for arbitrary flaws like "being clumsy" or some other harmless shit like that. They add no interest to the series they are a part of because they add no conflict, never experience true struggle, and learn nothing.

Only a few of these squares goes under the definition of a mary sue.
