I'd like to see a literal deconstruction of a Mary Sue/ Gary Stu. The easiest way to pull this off it by making her/him in Law of Ueki... then treat them like the main character. Give them a helping people fixation and watch them implode as they keep using their powers on expletives not in the tournament. Give every power in the book in spades and have them lose them in an order determined by random dice rolls. Actually you could do a series of these... each one being the same plot, but the dice rolls different. Losing Plot Armor and Aura of Smooth in the first fight would suck for them.
-The problem with a 2 male and 2 female relationship or more is that they get so into themselves the less the pay attention to their offspring. Which means even if adult relationship is 'perfect' the kids are neglected basically by default. That or worse they end up raised by a swingers collective. The more people involved the more likely the kid will have no clue who his or her blood parents are. Now ignoring just how warped or just plain screwed up these kids are going to be and what other kids are going to treat them like when a question of who their parents are get "Umm... someone that lives on that block over there."
Worse imagine a society based on this. Unless they are bonobos (and/or everyone is bi, which makes things more screwed up), they are eventually reduced to Kleenex people or a giant social game of inbreeding roulette. By Kleenex people I mean disposable and interchangeable. Someone dies, one replacement is as good as another. Doesn't matter. After all it takes a village to raise a kid. What is wrong with these people... T.I.A.!
