You were making a good point until you decided to quote Forbes on how Rey isn't a Mary Sue. Because holy God damn shit, open your eyes.

"E=mc²" is objective reality. "Rey is a Mary Sue" is not. It's an opinion, one that I and others disagree with.

Also, Erik Kain is not Forbes. He writes for them, as well as others, but is as far as I know not part of the Forbes staff proper or otherwise a salaried employee there. He's just a contributor. Kinda like how political op-ed writers tend to write primarily for one or two platforms, but still write for other outlets.

Actually, it's about as much opinion as saying someone is fat. Yeah, subjectively a bag of bones could call Jennifer Lawrence far, but a whale could call her skinny. That said, there's a solid benchmark on where being medically overweight begins.

 

And Rey? She hits every, single point for Mary Sue. So while you may be able to argue subjectively that Rey isn't nearly as Mary Sure as, say, any generic fanfic oc... She is still objectively Mary Sue based on the fact that so much evidence lines up to say so.
