I keep telling y’all the concept of “acceptable” Mary Sues in fandom spaces is essentially a white gated community.

I mean look at them clutching their pearls over Shuri being a child prodigy (greater than Tiny Stank??? Say it ain’t so!) or Michael Burnham being the center of the social universe of HER OWN DAMN SHOW. Iris West being the Leader of Team Flash and being the unreserved apple of one (1) Barry Allen’s eye. Preposterous?!

Seriously it’s like being the first black family in the over priced white neighborhood. They’re already heeping and hawing about property values going down and Black Panther isn’t even out yet (and Star Trek and The Flash are still going strong).
