Hey Pandas, What's A Common Stereotype That Gets On Your Nerves? (Closed)

That men are better at science

That all Americans know nothing about the rest of the world, love guns and expect everyone to conform to them. I'm not American but I've met loads of American citizens and have found all of them to be unfailingly polite, intelligent and incredibly welcoming. Can we ease up on the constant America bashing, please?

That people that work in fast food put you "on hold" because they were too busy talking to their coworkers or playing games or something. NO! It's because the person in front of you just ordered 40 shakes that the person taking orders has to make

For the last time, homosexuals are not "Saddamites."

Those saying it don't clarify what they mean, but I have several LGTBQ+ friends, and none of them support this Iraqi dictator.

That skinny is beautiful and fat is ugly.

One that is something that has been battled against for a while and I have personally witnessed, (especially as the Barbie movie recently came out and books like the blonde identity came out) is the fact that someone born with naturally blonde hair might be thought to be less smart, less understanding, and just a bad/annoying person in general, thankfully I haven't experienced it much but then that meant when I finally did experience it, it crippled my 7 year old soul....

That all gamers are guys

It really don't like the stereotype of Italians being moustached plumbers, being rather obsessed with women! Too specific for it's own good, yet somehow keep showing up in many cartoon I grew up with.

That people who were raised by abusive and/or neglectful parents will necessarily turn out to be abusive/neglectful themselves or have to work incredibly hard on themselves to avoid that.

Important: I don't mean this in the sense of "Yeah, I was spanked and turned out fine"! It just makes me cringe when people assume I could be choleric or wouldn't know how to apologize, praise, hug, show love, etc. I have never been in any way like my parents.

I hate it when people will determine someone’s personality by how they look or how many friends they have. I have a lot of friends and the way I dress is what society thinks a “popular girl” should dress like. So when people first meet me they think “ oh great, it’s a stuck up popular girl” and I’m not like that. I know a lot of people in the same situation as well

Uh idk if anyone has said this yet but Pitbulls being aggressive
Although yes Pitbulls can be aggressive if not trained properly they are actually very sweet. Seriously, Pitbulls just ended up with a bad past . If they were known for like anything else they would probably be one of the most popular dogs

I can't stand when someone thinks just because someone has ADHD they are hyper. This is not true. Also, girls ADHD differs from boys. Look it up. In fact, most girls will be overlooked for it when they actually have it.

That all cats are vicious hateful demonic spawns of Satan or aloof loners.
Sure, it might be fun to say as a joke but I've also heard too many people use it as an excuse to hate cats. Cats are individuals and many of them can be very lovable and affectionate.

That all men who do theater/music/english are homosexual. I'm a white, hetero, male, and even though I've made no indication that I like guys, I apparently "give off gay vibes" because I'm expressive.

Ooh I am a Christian and one that I have noticed is the fact that some people think that gay people, or people who identify themselves within the group of the lgbtqia+ are not allowed to come to church, I know there are tons of different churches, but at my church, personally we have never said that someone can't come in, sadly a couple years ago we had to cast someone out because he harmed people in the church, but that does not mean we were saying 'you cannot come in and worship God' if you are truly interested in knowing about the word of God or Jesus or anything, no one in our church is going to hold that against you, we don't care what you look like, we will happily share the word with you, sadly there are a lot of people who profess to be Christians and will be mean to other people who were raised in a different religion, raised a different way, who identify gay, bi, queer, etc,

“Boys will be boys”. Hate it when people say this, especially mothers of little boys.

The “Angry Black Woman” C**p.

It doesn’t need to be explained, just put an ism in front of it.

All autistic people are cisgender white males, good at math, socially awkward, and have a special interest in trains.

As a gay man with a partner, people often ask whose the man and the woman. GTFO FFS.

The dumb, oafish husband trope. I mean, it's funny in cartoons and sitcoms, but most men I know are perfectly fine changing diapers, cooking dinner and functioning on their own.
