i just had to read the phrase "female ocs are overdone" with my own eyes, the eyes God himself gave me, my own blue-green, weary, aged eyes..............

yo, i hate seeing all these "mary sue raters" bc 80% are idiots who dont know how the magic of character design works

yeah, there are bad character designs. but yall, judging this by a bulleted list of "age, personality, gender" DOESNT. WORK.

for a "mary sue" to exist, you must study how she affects the story around her. "has heterochromia and a vagina" is not instantly bad! FEMALE CHARACTERS ARE NOT AUTOMATICALLY MARY SUES. FEMALES WITH POWER, FEMALES IN POWER, AND FEMALES THAT ARE IMPORTANT ARE NOT AUTOMATICALLY MARY SUES.

a "mary sue" is defined by her utterly destroying the plot around her in a black hole of a wish fulfillment fic

ive seen people criticise ocs for...having mental disorders. for being girls. for using common tropes. yall stupid

its not the trope you use on your character, whether it be an anxiety disorder, possession, heterochromia, or a freaking ovary, ITS HOW YOU USE IT YOU DIPSNOTS
