Stupid Stereotypes and Clichés that annoy you?

[Exia91]

I don't like the assumption that because I play video games, that's all I do.

This, "playing games = no girlfriend" - I can definitely prove otherwise.

But I shut him up eventually, by informing him that I smoke weed and masturbate as well. No further comment.

I applaud your efforts.

If you are a bassist then you are a useless, talentless and pointless addition to any band. I usually hear it from guitarists who've been playing for 6 months and think they're hot shit.

Cliff Burton, Steve Harris and Victor Wooten are all deeply disapointed in them.

Really? I've only heard of the drummer as being the butt end of talent jokes.

No, most talent jokes are about the bassist only ever needing to know one note and play that over and over.

That British people have bad teeth! That really pisses me off. In fact the exact oppsite is true http://www.parentdish.com/2009/12/15/british-kids-have-the-best-teeth/

It usually starts with "you've got bad teeth" to which the reply is "go to mcdonalds you obese twat" and then it goes from there. Very sad IMO

All young people are out to get everyone else! I mean, seriously, we're all thieves and muggers. >_> <_<

Seriously though, a pet hate would be that I'm 'wasting my life on video games'. I do -PLENTY- of other stuff, and I want to play games. How can you say I'm wasting my life doing something I want to do.

Whenever I listen to japanese music, people ask "Why do you listen to manga music?". It always annoys me having to explain what manga is and what they're talking about is anime, and then explain that the music I listen to has no relation to any anime.

You want a hint? "OF COURSE!" There ya go.

I hate the stereotype given that because a person does Film Studies, Media Studies, Textiles or Performing Arts at college, they are a slacker.

Really?

I worked hard in those subjects to get the mediocre to good grades I earned. I also did Psychology, ICT and Law. And I'm a slacker... : )

 

[i did it 4 the lulz]

that Jews have all the money.
that's racist and insulting...
we have MOST OF IT.

I KNEW IT!

That Non-Contact sports are for "gay pussies".

Honestly, I tell someone I like tennis and they tell me that I must be gay for playing a sport in which men don't don't jump all over eachother and slap each other on the ass.

The bias some folk have towards young parents, which must mean anyone who isn't in their 30s and have a full career under their belt must be scum and belong on Jeremy Kyle's chat show.

I get this problem, since I'm only 22. I can be with my daughter and because I look younger, I get some horrible looks sometimes. Best thing is, I'm really a nice guy and probably completely different to what they think I am.

Sure, some young parents are scum, but not all of them.

You're 22 and already have a daughter DAAA...... ow wait my mother was 21 when she got my older sister..... and 22 when she got me nvm, moving on.

I also already have a Masters degree in pharmacy, a full time (respectable) job with a salary jumping up to £36k next year, wedding plans under way and a flat in one of the most prestigous postcodes in Brighton. And none of this supported or paid by any of my family.

See my point? I don't think I deserve bad looks for deciding not to run away or force my fiancee to flush a pregnancy down the loo. It's not like I've relied on people or expected anything for free. Not that I'm TRYING to live my life too quickly, but I'm probably already in a more comfortable position than some of those who choose to judge on first glance.

Aw, too bad. This guy got it though:

That if you're insane and hit walls when you get angry means you beat up people regualrly. I guess they make the conclusion from the bruised fists.
And that I sleep to little, because I have bloodshot eyes. I sleep 10 fucking hours on avarage, I'm pretty sure that ought to be enough.
Aaand, since I play video games, I must be an antisocial bastard. Well, the bastard part is true sometimes, but my point remains that it is insulting and annoying.

that all people who talk with a southern accent are stupid. i don't talk with a southern accent, but ti's so stupid! i want to see a guy with a southern accent start talking about quantum physics, and make a British guy feel like an idiot! (no offense to any Brits, but it's sort of an American stereotype that people with British accents are super smart) beyond that the false concept that graphics aren't important.

[HEADING=1] THEY ARE [/HEADING]

Similarly, in England there is a north/south divide and a very strong stereotype in the north that southern accents are idiotic too and vice versa. Also, graphics aren't important.

Not that i want to cause a big arguement but i think they are important too. I'm not talking about HD graphics or anything, a well designed Megaman game can be just as appealing as SuperHDGame. It's design that matters!

Argue that HD/realistic graphics aren't important, but overall you'd be buggered if you couldn't see what was on-screen
