Stereotypes that annoy you
 
Are there any stereotypes that annoy you?

My big one is how the media always portrays gay guys as flouncy, camp, with crazy ass hair styles etc etc.

It really annoys me, because only half the gay guys are like this. :bored:

Mostly all the gender stereotypes, I hate when people are lumped into certain categories of behaviours (?) just because of what sex they happen to be, we're all individuals

|Those stereotypes are true. :whistle:

It annoys me how gay men are portrayed on TV. Always ridiculously camp. I know 1 gay guy like that all my other gay friends are not camp at all.

That everyone on Job Seekers are dole dossing scum of the earth, some people don't want to work, keep having children and deserve being called those names but there are some people like myself who are looking for work every week and at the moment it is hard with the recession out there!

Conservative Party voters are all heirs to lots of property, land and are probably distant royalty and they're all really posh. It's become so cartoonish in recent years it's borderline ridiculous. Yes, people like that do exist, but the way people go on you'd think the Conservative Party somehow tricked their way into power and the UK is being oppressed by them. Really irritates me.

The northern stereotypes, that we're all tracksuit wearing thugs who sound like the Gallagher brothers. :bored:

Marcus. 22-05-2013 05:17 PM

Yeah American ones bother me. People do an "American accent" and you're sort of sitting there like, do people realise America is gigantic and completely different wherever you go?

What's so funny? It's one thing to hate the Conservatives, it's another thing to be over the top.
