They are, but I've actually grown more accepting of Mary Sues over time. They're exaggerations, sure, and tend to come with bashing of canon characters, but at least they operate on the idea that it's okay to write about females. And really, what makes them different from any other fantasies that people write out?
Also, regarding your earlier comment, it does amaze me over and over again that celebrating female characters and asking fandom why it doesn't write more about women is constantly seen as a bad thing.
