Whatever: Reasonably Unscrewed-up Character %E2%89%A0 Mary-Sue
I was totally unaware of the definition creep of Mary Sue outside of fanfiction circles. All I can say is "ack." Also the quote from Inigo Montoya from Princess Bride springs to mind. "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." (Yeah, his OTHER famous line.)
I don't really know which is the more depressing part. People not recognizing a well-rounded character versus a Mary Sue, or people who don't actually get hired for jobs. To be fair it may be free online reviews that anyone can write, but still "ack."
