View Full Version : Can you laugh about your 'stereotype'?

So I've noticed on TiBB that a lot of us like to poke fun at each other for their stereotypes (e.g being Old (niamh), gay, LESBIAN, disgusting jew, MURICA, leathernazi etc etc,) and I was wondering if anyone ever actually gets upset by this...

I can deal with any insult whatsoever, but I always laugh at the lesbian jokes the most. I don't realise that I might actually upset someone with my stereotyping jokes, because they don't bother me at all. I don't think I've ever seen someone upset by them, because most people on here seem to like the stereotyping jokes (as I do)

I was just wondering if anyones 'stereotype' bothered them and that they didnt like to laugh about it.

First person to day 'bUT STEREOTYPING IS BAD!!!!!!' gets the pompous prat award

The "white person" stereotype is actually really funny and I perpetuate it a lot myself.

The gay person stereotype though I don't find quite as funny and take rather personally.

Not quite sure why that is but it's true.

N'aww i can understand why it can piss you off. The age jokes on here actually make me laugh as much as the 'LESBIAN' ones, but I don't mean it in a bad way. I'd laugh at (well with tbh) any person the joke was aimed at, no matter how old/young.

The thing is, you're really mature which makes it funnier (to me) because its just weird remembering you're so young.

I didn't know you were... Is it meant to be a joke or is it a sly insult? I used the Leathernazi one as a joke because i thought he laughed about it too.

I agree, if it's someone you like and know, then it's funny. But when it's someone else, I'm not sure how to take it, but I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt.

I'm not really relevant enough on here to have a stereotype which means that's my stereotype by default

yeah this

like for example Caitlin called me a stupid brummie but because she is one of my fav members i laugh but if someone i don't get along with/dislike i probs take it a different way.

I joke with all my friends about their stereotypes, but the odd times I've had people hide their bag when I'm walking near them does annoy me at times.

It depends who and what they're saying, besides, it's nothing to cry about
