They are both overpowered mary sue characters yet one is universally loved while the other is universally hated. Why is this? Is it sexism?

One is cute lovable ditz, the other one is LONELY BEATER.

gee I wonder

Kirito was unfortunate to be the one to kick start the trope.

>t. never watched past episode 2

Is it really that hard for people to understand that one is a comedy and the other isn't?

Here's your (You), now go back to being irrelevant.

Because Mapel is cute and her show is a comedy. Kirito is a badly done self insert and his show is NOT a comedy.

Well you're technically correct.

Fuck it, I'll bite.
Maple has some semblance of personality. While she does not have a *great* character, she at least bounces off her environment in fun, whimsical ways, even if she lacks a clear, defined goal and character progression. Her absurd power creates interesting and absurd situations. Contrast that to "nothing personnel kid" who is all-powerful, but never does anything genuinely interesting, novel, or engaging. He's absurd, but supposed to be taken seriously. And that's my two cents.
