You know, I didn't even know that term until just now; had to look it up, but yes that'd be why!So THIS is why people were saying that Raine Doge was a "Mary Sue". Thank you for explaining.

But when the word bitch was used in the comic, it was used as a somewhat demeaning manner. It does kind of defeat the distinction you were talking aboutGood morning, Sir, I'm here on behalf on my client the Devil. (A) The latter's said to a confused young teen or whatever, the former's said to a adult who's by that point been through emancipation and finally become proactive. (B) 'girl' can be familiar, condescending, dismissive. It's what you'd call a faithful pet. 'Bitch' is many things, but it's not an assertion of superiority. This is the kind of weird fictional distinction that I'd like to see.
