Stupid Stereotypes and Clichés that annoy you?

[HellsingerAngel]

The stereotype I hate the most is that all stereotypes are mostly unfounded. The definition of a stereotype is that MOST people fit that description. Move on.

 

[Crispee]

I hate the stereotype that because I appear to be a nerd, that I stay indoors all the time, never talk to people and go on the computer or videogames all the time and can't talk to girls.

I hate it because it's entirely true in my case.

 

[PurpleLeafRave]

I don't like the assumption that because I play video games, that's all I do. Used to get it from my teacher all the time, and the **** is only in his twenties. You'd think his brain wouldn't be stuck 30 years ago. But I shut him up eventually, by informing him that I smoke weed and masturbate as well. No further comment.

This made me laugh. Probably because I can relate.

OT: I got called a goth today because I was wearing black. I'm sorry, is black an illegal colour now?
Do they not realise that I just think I look best in black?

America is always the good guy dispite being the most sinister nation on Earth.

Thats the only one I don't understand, how is America sinister (Also are you refering to the USA or actually america because people always get those confused)

(Yes I was refering to USA, my bad.)
I cannot think of another nation where the vast majority of the population bask in sin. America holds a huge percentage of evil goings on in the world, corruption and gang violence are prime examples. Yet in Films and Games the USA are depicted as the lawful good guys. I dont fully understand it.

But then again who cares? I dont.

 

[Mr. Doe]

I hate the whole big guy=scary guy thing children hold onto their parents when I walk past them in the mall, Cashiers lose composure when I buy stuff and most people stare at me like I just shot a guy. (in the cashiers defense I did buy cinderblocks, a hammer 2 ft of copper and a hand axe but blacksmithing and woodworking are my hobbies damn it)

 

[CowboyfromHell666]

That being "emo" is being classified as sad, hating life, cutting, and wanting to basically die. Well, my girlfriend classifies herself as emo and she's one of the happiest people I've ever met in my whole life.

And that metalheads are a bunch of drug crazed, stupid drunks who like to destroy things. Well, I know metalheads that are smart, and are against drugs and drinking. Plus some of the musicians are quite intelligent.

''Every non-asian human that is into manga, animé and japanese culture is a weeaboo''

Makes me fucking rage at times -,-

Agree with you there. Just because I like anime and manga doesn't mean I'm some whacktarded child that needs to go curl up and die in a corner, those fans scare me too O_O. I've been into the Japanese culture since I was 10 or 11 years old, I've ALWAYS been fascinated with foreign cultures, other countries are utterly fascinating.

oh but they do. you don't need the best graphics, but you have to at least try. no matter what, this:

proves graphics are important.

Does it? looks to me lie it proves they aren't. Monkey island was still a great game without the "modern" graphics.

 

[Czargent Sane]

definitely the ones pertaining to the behavior and so called "differences" between the sexes. make me sick

 

[Trebort]

You mean southerners are a bunch of lying, cheating morons, while we up north are honest, down to earth people that you can trust.

Is that seriously the stereotype? Wow, now I know why Sheffield is how it is.

You've lived surrounded by us for how long now and you have not picked up on it? ^_^

 

[tkioz]

Seems a lot of people can't read... I wasn't asking for big ones, like "America is evil" or "gays are promiscuous" but little crap like I posted.

 

[Connor Lonske]

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]

Hey look buddy, I'm an Engineer, that means I'm smart. Your problem falls under the conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems. For example, how am I going to stop some big mean British soccer player who call me a "Ameri-****." The answer, use music, and if that don't work, use western music:

 

[FinalHeart95]

The one where if you like metal you love Satan... or something. Basically, people picture

I'm not talking about the big ones, like gay people talk with a lisp, or stuff like that, I mean the little ones that you run into in every day life that just plain piss you off.

My personal pet peeve is how some people react when I buy bottled water at a cafe or milk-bar, I know the stuff is no better for me then tap water (exception being that time I spent in Adelaide, as drinking that tap water is like drinking battery acid), but you know what? Sometimes I don't want sugar or caffeine I just want fresh refreshing water, I don't want milk or softdrink, just people sneer at you and start making hippy jokes about how you must expect it to be extra natural.

So what a little stereotypes that annoy you?

Every stereotype? But I guess I have learned to live with them.

 

[kickyourass]

The "New Zealenders fornicate with sheep" stereotype pisses me off. Seriously, how did that come into being? It just seems arbitary.

Huh, I thought that was the stereotype of the Welsh.

Anyway, the one that has ALWAYS irritated the shit out of me is the idea that the French are cowardly. Sure some French men are a bit pansy-ish, but if you look at the history of French warfare you'd be able to tell that if you fuck with the French you'll be going home with a baguette violently shoved up your ass.
