Non-Alicorn Pony Sues

Description

Now, with a lot of ponies floating around the internet, there has been a rash of 'Sues, as in every fandom. Personally, I don't care. I like characters no matter how sueish they look. Even if they are 'Sues. Characters should be made how someone wants them to look.
But recently I've noticed, when people mock pony Mary-Sues, they act like they're all alicorns, which I find to be very untrue. It's a hypocritical thing to say, as many of them have ponies with sueish traits. Everybody acts like, as long as their character isn't an alicorn, they must NOT be a 'Sue. Worse, if their character is an earth pony, they can do ANYTHING POSSIBLE and it STILL won't make a 'Sue. Let's take a look at some of the examples those hypocrites have on their perfect ponies.

-Overuse of pony creator (doesn't need to be explained)
-Bat wings for pegasi
-Horns from other species of animal
-As always, random markings that aren't... random.
-Recolored Trixie's capes annoy me. Personally, I'd say change part of it up.
-Overuse of accessories - We always come upon that sooner or later, eh?
-Long, skinny tails- I never understood these things, and they're very common...?
-Eyes with no black pupil.

I don't mind ANY of these traits... normally. Only when somebody screams at me "OMFG ALICRNS R MARRY-SUS" is when I go "Really? Because your character isn't?"
To not be a Mary Sue, your pony must have a simple mane with a few colors, and a one colored body, horn or wings or none. POSSIBLY a random-pattern coat, and if you're a male possibly different colored hooves.
I like 'Sues, simply because they make the fandom more fun. They're fun to design~

_EDIT_

I'm talking about hypocrisy, people. The fact that people call Alicorns 'Sues because they don't fit in with the canon show- when barely ANY OC character does. Frankly, it's more interesting that way. I don't mind any of the traits of this pony really, except for the fact she was made with the character creator...
