A lot of anti-Samantha Carter wank stems from laziness; it's easier to oversimplify Sam as a tomboyish military scientist than to see all sides of a complex, fully-rounded, subtle character who's developed over 11 seasons (including SGA). Reducing her to "strong, independent Mary Sue without vulnerabilities" is just as faily as Sam/Jack fanfic that paints her as a giggly/emo virgin.
