Re: Shivers
And you've had people giving you arguments why Tarantula isn't a Mary Sue - even beyond the meta that she's a canon character and thus can't be a Mary Sue at all. She makes too much mistakes, plenty of people don't like her, every single one of her mistakes has disastrous consequence, no-one cuts her any slack...
Again, if the genders of the characters were reversed, or if Chuck Austen had written this instead of Devin Grayson, we wouldn't even be HAVING this discussion I'm sorry, I don't see what you're trying to say here. I mean, I get that you're saying there's double standard at work here, but I'm not sure I wouldn't be making the same arguments that I'm making here. (There might be less people arguing that Male!Tarantula would be Sue, though.)
