This troper has a good friend that is Jewish. This troper has heard of at least 5 different other Jewish kids complaining about his stereotypical behavior.

This troper loves science, anime and manga, and science fiction, and is currently at an engineering school studying biochemistry. She also hates stereotypical geeks, whom she considers to be unprofessional, selfish, and, ironically, just plain boring most of the time.

This troper is a fan of hard rock and metal music, but finds other hard rock/metal fans irritating because of their tendancy to look down not only on other genres of music, but also the fans of said genres.

This troper seconds it entirely. As a Led Zeppelin fan, I sometime have difficulty telling which are worse: militant Led Zeppelin fans, or Led Zeppelin haters. I even tend to like certain bands that "true" Led Zeppelin fans are supposedly not supposed to like. Also, even though I don't care for Justin Bieber's music, the over-the-top hatred that some spew towards the teen makes me question my faith in humanity.

I second your last statement so much, I mean, cut that poor kid a break, not exactly his fault that his fans can be obnoxious.

So much this. This Troper is considering starting dressing like a libby to stop being accomodated with people who can't stand a discussion about music without starting a regular war. Their lives must be really miserable if they have nothing better to do than to blindly hate ''a band''.

If there's one thing this Canadian Troper hates about Canada, it's fellow citizens saying "eh". Stop it!

...am I the only person who ''never heard that''? I heard "Aboot", but ''only'' when they were joking, were Scottish-Canadian (and had an accent), or had a New Brunswick accent.

Who the hell actually says "aboot"?

No, YouAreNotAlone. I've never heard anyone say "eh", but maybe my living in Quebec has something to do with it.

I've heard "eh?" said plenty of times. That being said, "eh" shows up in plenty of languages and other dialects of English, and it may well just depend on the part of Canada you're living in. It's a big country, and stereotypes are by definition a trait used by ''maybe'' a small minority that's conflated to include a whole group. In that case, "eh" is downright fitting. After all, how many Americans actually say "y'all" (aside from the South)? As for "aboot", I can't say I've heard that one, but I did hear "aboat" before. So, again, it depends on the part of the country and how they pronounce words differently. It could also be a generational thing.

This troper constantly applies this to himself. He is obese and never eats in public; he's silent and sends everyone death glares, to hide his shy and nerdy self; he's from "the banlieues" (Parisian suburbs; think the Bronx of France), the rare times he does talk is extremely cautiously and formally.

ThisTroper was once in a class with a black girl who seemed as if she was ''trying'' to invoke every stereotype associated with black girls. Voice/tone? check. obnoxiously loud? check. Never stops talking? check. Mildly but not notably overweight? check. clothing/hairstyles? check. ThisTroper had to restrain himself from yelling at her to StopBeingStereotypical.

This didn't happen to be in Atchison, Kansas, did it?

Attention, everyone who keeps typecasting Americans as fat, lazy morons who are so self-centered you think they'd randomly burst into song about how the world was made for them at any moment: Stop it. Just because some people are like Christian Weston Chandler doesn't mean ''everyone here'' is. Take my word for it. (Oddly enough, Texan stereotypes don't grind my gears nearly as much, probably because there's not often much malice behind their appearances in the media.)

ThisTroper frequents a TheSims 2 forum full of intelligent people. Foolish newbies who are too lazy to follow instructions and post "lol im a DumbBlonde" tend to receive the reaction "You aren't stupid because you're blonde, you're just stupid!" for it by intelligent blondes and non-blondes alike.

This Troper usually hangs out with a Goth / Punk crowd. While cutting through the mall, I came across the most stereotypical group of "goth" sounding more like Emo teen. As I went past them they told me to "Stop being a stereotypical poser." All I had to tell them was to stop being Stereotypical "Death is all I think of" Goth, and have some fun. Maybe I am a rare male PerkyGoth?

Bro, I get you. I wear all black casual clothes (Jeans, Shirts, Jackets, I don't have the money for all the cool stuff) and love rock and metal music. There are people at my school who do the whole "DARKNESS AND PAIN ARE ALL THE WORLD IS!" and all that other bullshit that people associate with stereotypical "Goth" and "Emo" groups. I'm a FriendToAllLivingThings and TeamDad to my friends.

This troper likes big girls, and is chubby himself. He used to get very sick of telling his friends that not all that many fat people are humorless, hypersensitive {{wangst}}balls who constantly whine about how awfully cursed they are while still overeating, refusing exercise, and generally doing jack shit to change it then taking out their insecurities on the rest of the world by acting like {{jerk ass}}es or hiding behind a layer of false pride. After having two girlfriends and briefly joining an FA community, he kind of agrees with his old friends now.

This (black) troper is seriously considering ordering few gallons of bleach after a couple of girls (also black) were having a very loud conversation about how much they love watermelon. I shit you not. Watermelon.

I love food. It's a huge motivator for me in life. I'm also black, and love watermelon. Like, so much that if I see sliced watermelon, I'll drop what I'm doing and go straight for it. I'm so sorry...I just can't help myself.

This Troper stopped being vegeterian and later took up hunting after seven years of meatlessness after getting tired of defending PETA and other animals rights groups.

This native troper hates how all his fellow Indians are {{Proud Warrior Race Guy}}s. Sports competitions are referred to as wars, every male joins the military, etc.

This troper, because of the obnoxious SassyBlackWoman stereotype seen in every other TV show and movie, gets a tad annoyed whenever she sees another black woman chatting loudly in public, swearing obsessively, or using embarrassing slang terms every other word.

Also I'm probably about as far left as you can get. But people (who shall remain nameless to avoid stirring up a fight) who are left-wing, and are also condescending pricks about it get under my skin for being too stereotypical.

As a fairly rational (that is, not completely insane) Christian, I take the Biblical command "Love thy neighbor as thyself" very, ''very'' seriously and, while the things people do sometimes upsets me, I've learn to actually love my neighbors as my fellow human beings, regardless of things like religion (or lack of), sexual orientation, political views, etc. So as you can imagine, things like Westboro Baptist Church and that one crazy lady on Wife Swap makes me either FacePalm or feel the effects of the BerserkButton. Have you guys learned nothing from TheBible?!?

Are you me?

You'd hate what I learned in CCD - They said stuff like Mormons encouraged Polygamy and worshipped meteors.

This Christian troper has been attending the same church for her entire life and is embarrassed to admit that her pastor would probably agree with about 90% of what JackChick says.

I wish the VocalMinority of anime fans stopped acting like anti-social Wapanese recluses, with their overuse of the Japanese words and their notorious rejection of anything that isn't Japanese. They're practically ruining the reputation of the fans that don't fit those stereotypes!

Amen to that.

If only...

This poor troper met one of these...people in real life. After a long, annoying, one-sided conversation, she left. Said troper's friend turned to her and said; "I love anime and all...but I really don't want to end up like her."

I had a friend like that as well and I totally agree.

This troper wishes more people would do that. He calls them, "Walking stereotypes" because they do nothing but reinforce negative stereotypes. Working at Subway, a cosmic nexus of stupidity, I experience these a lot. Here are two of my favourites:

A person (Maybe African, maybe Hispanic, I couldn't tell) person who honestly looked like every single negative stereotype about Rappers and urban teenagers walks up. I can't place where he might be from, since he spoke in ebonics. And this is what he literally said to order: #QUOTE# '''Walking Stereotype''': "Sup Honky, gimme a fuckin' five dollah footlong, I want some of that fuckin Chicken Bacon and Ranch shit....fuckin toast that, crackah." #QUOTE# '''Coworker''': "What kind of cheese?" #QUOTE# '''Walking Stereotype''': "I'll have some fuckin Cheddah, bitch. Put it right on the fuckin sandwich." #QUOTE# '''Manager''': Okay, you're being rude to my employees - get out. #QUOTE# '''Walking Stereotype''': "What the fuck, woman? You're doing this cause I'm ''BLACK''! #QUOTE# '''Manager''': No, I'm doing this because you're being a disgrace and are being incredibly rude to my employees. Get ''OUT''." #QUOTE# '''Walking Stereotype''': You white piece of shit! You're gonna regret it when the president sends you to slavery!

...what? I...that last one...what?

'''This''' is why I FacePalm around stereotypical black people. They make rest of us look bad. -_-

And the second one...someone walked up in a CU Boulder shirt. She's quite brave, I got to give her that - You don't walk into ''Fort Collins'' with a ''CU Boulder'' shirt and expect to walk away without getting shot. But she ordered a veggie with no cheese - and she told me this: #QUOTE# '''Straw Vegan''': "Oh my god, I can't believe you guys are serving this! You got ''EGG'' here! Don't you know what Egg is? It's ''murder''! That's what it is!

But eggs are unfertilized...

So my message to vegans? Want stereotypes to go away? Then ''StopBeingStereotypical''.

This Troper took an acting class as his art credit, and once he got to know everyone discovered that he was the only one attracted to females in the class. While they didn't act stereotypically gay (well, except one of them), the fact that a theater class only had one straight male made me scream this inside my head.

This liberal troper would like to see no more liberals acting like they are superior to the rest of America.

This conservative troper would also say the same for his own party as well. In sense of fairness, all politicians in general.

Mild (or maybe not so mild) example. This American troper's father keeps getting Sweden and Switzerland mixed up. It drives her insane.

Ugh, my mom does this too.

This troper wishes PC gamers would just stop being walking stereotypes of self-centered-stuck-up-snobs-who-think-they're-better-than-everybody-else merely because they play complex stuff. No, I'm sorry, that doesn't make you smarter...that makes you FanDumb. You may be smart, but ''you have the maturity of a flippin ten year old'' for believing that people who play console games do so ''because they're stupid''. So far, I've ''yet'' to see intelligent PC gamers who aren't highbrow elitist or elitist forms of FanDumb.

when did I type this?

I prefer PC to consoles because in all honesty I am not very dextrous when I have to make my long fingers fit around an awkwardly shaped controller. Certainly, consoles have games exclusive to them as well. I mean, come on, each platform has its advantages and disadvantages. The PC offers a more flexible keymap (and with some games you can use a gamepad anyway), and more customization options. Consoles don't have as many graphical limitations, and have a lot more games available.

This black Troper HATES when people call me "white-washed" for not acting stereotypical. I mean that has to be like the most frikkin' offensive thing ever, arguably even more so than a walking stereotype. Not only does it put down an entire people by saying we are all like that, but also kinda has that whole "Superior Race" thing to it(though I doubt those that have said it thought that much about it). It's especially grating when I'm told this by other black people. And this is coming from a guy who otherwise has no kind of pride in being black, because as we all know all races are equally inferior to Robots.

This troper sees it all the time when it comes to gamers. Every time a news report comes out about how video games are making kids violent or are teaching them bad values, gamers naturally will speak up against it. But then it's like as soon as the story dies down, most gamers then revert to being foul mouthed with threats of violent acts against others who dare to disagree with them while making sexual comments about which female video game character they would want to tap. UGH!

Related topic: Girls! Stop bragging about how you can beat a boy at whatever is the newest Call of Duty video game is in order to "subvert" the stereotype. We all know you're only playing them (if playing them at all) to impress boys. You're not "subverting" anything. You're still pretending to like something in order to make men like you, which is just as stereotypical as a girl twirling her hair and giggling at everything a guy says. You're becoming a new stereotype, and regular female gamers do not appreciate this.

Mi Maman is a Type II {{Eagleland}}er Democrat. I mean, think of all the worst traits you know about Democrats, and she is it. My father, ironically, is mildly conservative (not Republican) equivalent of Type II (I say "ironically" because he's an alcoholic arse). Me? Conservative on alcohol and drugs and whatnot (straightedge) and liberal on everything else. I can, however, ''see the other's side's point of view'' which ''neither'' of my parents can so I often feel absurdly out-of-place. Especially when Dad starts his "America has the right to not allow whoever it likes in" (this was right after talking about 9/11 and Islam, so uh...not a good reflection) shtick. ''STOP BEING SO GODDAMN AMERICAN, ALREADY!'' You make me want to cry and/or hide in a corner.

Tropers/BTIsaac noticed that stereotypical bible-thumping bigoted christian fundamentalists and stereotypical egomaniac religion bashing atheists have at least one thing in common: according to both parties, anyone who calls them out on this, actually belongs to the other side.

This Troper is from the North of England and lives in the South. There's one other girl in my year from the North and she frequently talks loudly and drags her words out AND over-uses the northern slang to the point that even I can't understand her. She annoys all the southern kids at my school and don't understand why I'm not like her. Aswell as this, I've heard English people say 'Cheerio!'. No, just no.

This troper goes to a boarding school in the US. A large percentage of my classmates are from other countries, though. Sometimes I just want to whack some of the bleach-blond, stick-thin, idiotic girls with the obnoxious giggles for just being so goddamn stereotypically ''American teenage girl''!!

This troper's liberal, very politically active friend once said something like, "When it comes down to it, I'm more angry at the far left than the far right, because I'm like, c'mon guys, I'm trying to help you!"

A message to all obnoxious, brazilian cheaters who thinks swearing in portuguese on the internet to those who don't know portuguese is fun while playing games on international servers: Stop. This. Shit. You're managing to make the entire internet hate us. I must have missed the memo that said that ruining other people's games is fun...

This is one of this black tropette's biggest pet peeves. This is why my patience and tolerance for rap, Maury and BET (In which the only show I watch is Everybody Hates Chris and nothing more) is very limited if not nonexistant. Why is it that every black person on several reality television programs are shown to be obnoxious, loud and incapable of grammar, let alone are ready to pin everything on the "white man" despite the fact equality has finally been achieved. If there are no medical or psychological problems, then tell me...is it really hard to speak calmly and coherantly? Am I suppose to sympathise with you when you run away crying and playing the victim when you couldn't keep your legs closed, in which you probably weren't crying when you did the deed with another man? Am I suppose to interpret a promiscuous, loud-mouth girl who blames or justifies everything she does on her past circumstances such as "I ain't got no daddy!" or "You don't know me! I'm from da hood!" as an independent black woman, in which the latter would use her past circumstances to do much better and try to do something beneficial? Or better yet, a black (or hispanic) girl (or man for the matter) who weren't raised in such conditions and make extremely poor decisions, and yet, instead of owning up to them, they act as if they were victimized by "the system to keep the black man down?" If MLK Jr. was alive today, he'd weep at what all his hard work came to. I am sorry for ranting; with all three older cousins on both sides of the family living the stereotype and being constantly congratulated for the mere fact that I'm not sleeping around and getting pregnant does get to me fromt time to time.

I second this. All of it.

Seeing as how BET and other stereotypical black things tend to be owned by white people...It pretty much comes down to black entertainers perpetuating a stereotype for money from white people. But humans tend to take entertainers very seriously so they tend to copy what they see. "OH, that's how I should be!" It might be annoying but that's how humans behave. By the way, BET is owned by Viacom. I rest my case.

Is there room for one more? This troper, while enjoying characters who crack jokes, finds the SassyBlackWoman who always uses violence on many occasions (whether it's a DopeSlap or using more violent means) irritating. At first, they're funny, but do them too often and it comes off as old and trite. Also, when it comes to disciplining kids, hitting them often and threatening them with violence is bad for their self-esteem. Also, the black men being portrayed as bad fathers who are abusive, cold, and/or trying to run from their responsibilities is tiring.

This Christian troper would like to make this request to those atheists who think they are smarter than a super computer because they don't believe in a deity or that think atheist=anti-Christian. Some of my best friends are atheists and agnostics, and it pisses me off when I see idiots online make both me look like an idiot and my friends look like assholes.

This atheist troper seconds that.

This other atheist troper thirds that. There's a word for ''hatred'' of religion, and it's called antitheism. Please don't say you're an atheist when you're really not.

I get this reaction to women who seemingly insist on living up to every sexist prejudice in the book by acting like shallow, gossipy airheads. Makes me want to FacePalm and tell them to stop being an embarrassment to their own gender.

THANK YOU.

Let us not forget those females who think it is terrible and monstrous that a man can have sexual thoughts about another female. Gag me.

Several of my classmates should hear this request. They're stereotypical, poor Southern college students. They go to more parties than classes, text under the desk, and act like writing a single page essay is an impossible and unfair task - and these are juniors and seniors I'm talking about, people, not freshmen.

AMEN. It's bad enough when they're high-schoolers.

Gamers that constantly swear and shout offensive terms into the mic at some FPS they're too young to play. I just want to smack people like that for setting bad example for gamers, especially console gamers(them, and those 40-year-old-fat-guys-in-their-mom's-basement-people.)

This troper has heard this jokingly many times from her best friend for being a "flannel-wearing, beer-drinking, overly sexual, androgynous, cat-loving, Tegan and Sara-listening, walking stereotype with a bad haircut. Subverted in that she isn't exactly a lesbian.

This Main/{{troper}} dislikes the Main/{{Sassy Black Woman}} stereotype and any stereotype that keeps portraying black people as loud, rude, mean, harsh, cold, aggressive, extroverted, and unintelligent . Ironically, there are people who embrace these stereotypes and blacks who do not conform to this idea are told that they "act like a white person" or "talk like a white person". Why are black people always portrayed like this and why is it that a black woman's femininity is constantly attacked in the media?

Two cases that drove me right up the wall:

Dad works at an elementary school in a crime-heavy portion of town, one prone to wanton accusations of racism (He gets it a lot--he's much less compromising in his teaching techniques than the rest of staff). Once, he showed me the pamphlet they gave out for the 2008 STAR tests. It was worded as if to suggest that ''the guys who write the tests were actively conspiring against the students''.

The only representation of ChrisBrown's fanbase I'm regularly exposed to has to be the worst possible one: Even during the "Graffiti" period, they sided with him completely, trashing Rihanna (who he beat up, mind you) without a hint of mercy, berating all detractors for no proper reason, that is, the ones who aren't demonized, and openly disclosing their fantasies about being Brown's significant other.

This troper really hates all his compatriots who at the slighltliest insult to their national pride (seriously, proud of what) go apeshit and scream "CHINGA TU MADRE PENDEJO GRINGO MALICNHISTA VIVA MEXICO CABRONES" and at the same time like to complain how much of a rat the goverment or the US are while being as much of a rat if not worse themselves. And finally those who keep defending the illegal inmigrants who are basically CHEATING at getting a job, too lazy to keep on fighting for their ideals and prefering the easy way and in the process leaving americans without a job. Are you seriously gonna keep making the rest of us look like lazy, aggressive, leeching idiots by beating up the guy next to you because he likes the soccer team you hate, by crying like a pussy when your team loses, by complaining and not doing anything else but complain and then do all that over there? Well done my brothers, well done... >:|

What's funny is if you try telling an American to not have national pride you'll get your ass kicked twenty ways to Sunday. So, just chill. Just because someone doesn't want to vomit the stars and stripes does not make them bad. If they want to be proud of their heritage, LET THEM. Don't be such a douche about it.

Attention, everyone who keeps typecasting Americans as fat, lazy morons who are so self-centered you think they'd randomly burst into song about how the world was made for them at any moment: Stop it. Just because some people are doesn't mean ''everyone here'' is. Take my word for it. (Oddly enough, Texan stereotypes don't grind my gears nearly as much, probably because there's not often much malice behind their appearances in the media.)

It's nice to know that I'm not the only diagnosed Aspie that gets a little annoyed and embarrassed at people who throw out the "lolz I'm autistic[=/=]aspie" line like it somehow justifies them acting like five-year-olds who've been dropped on their heads once too often (and I'd like to apologize preemptively for any five-year-olds with head injuries who I may have offended with that comparison).

Remember self-diagnosers, Autism DOES NOT automatically justify idiotic and/or sociopathic behavior.

Me too. People blaming their behavior on "lol i have aspergers/autism" doesn't justify acting like a dick, and just makes people that actually has it look bad.

I saw this. Twice. On the same forum. And boy, what jerks they were. They got better, but sweet mother of God, I was tempted to tell them I actually was and PM them a link to Kyle Maynard's Wikipedia entry.

I don't have aspergers or autism, but my brother does and so I completely agree. He would never use that as an excuse in the first place, which just makes the idiots who are pretending worse in my book.

This happened during ''WorldOfWarcraft'' roleplay, when my night elf character was talking to another one about dwarves, while standing in Ironforge: #QUOTE#'''Ayanore''': The first time I met one was... in the Alliance army. He was standing on top of a stump and performing a wild dance. #QUOTE#'''Ayanore''': Needless to say, it ruined my perception of them for years to come. #QUOTE#''Dormoth shuffles in his beard grabbing a canteen as he takes a swig staring at the elves.'' #QUOTE#'''Ayanore''': ...Not helping dispel the stereotype, I'm afraid.

This Tropette's attitude towards teenagers is, "You make a bad name for the rest of us!"

One general case that really pisses me off? ''Moreso'' than the folks who believe pervasive developmental disorders can be received in the mail? People in the higher-functioning range of the autism spectrum who feel entitled to bank on their disorders for special treatment and whine about prejudice when it doesn't work. Maybe it's just a personal issue, but it drives me insane.

I am a modest anime fan, but my friend is outrageous about it and has stereotypical traits of an annoying fangirl. She parades around in school with manga and reads it while the teacher is teaching, she tries to fit her favorites into her English essays, she constantly talks about any anime or manga she's seen or read recently, and she gets very upset if someone sees her reading manga and calls it comics. I've tried to convince her to tone it down because many people in our school already think that people who like anime are weird, but she just will not listen.

I also have to tell people not to believe that stereotypical bullshit in the media that people with Tourettes curse. If, for some reason it comes up that my brother has Tourettes, everyone says, "Oh, so he curses a lot?" and I tell them to stop stereotyping.

Hoo, boy, do I have a list...

There are two black girls in my highschool who constantly swear, can hardly speak english, dress like sluts, once got into a fight over lipgloss that ended with a broken nose, and if a teacher tells them to dress appropriately, they'll say he's being racist.

I'm an anime fan, but it bugs me when an other anime fan in my school goes overboard. She'll say something in Japanese every few sentences (I don't mind saying "seiyuu" instead of "voice actor", but it gets rediculous), and ignoring almost every other type of entertainment.

My english class. They're Juniors, but none of them pay attention, they complain that a 5 page reading assignment is too long (or too boring, or too hard, etc), and then they complain that the teacher is playing favorites when all but 3 of them (the ones that DO OUR WORK) are failing. Stop making teens look bad!

Oh, god. You are not alone, trust me, the mandatory classes at my high school were... trying, to say the least, because of that.

Same here. They even do it in advanced placement classes--which are voluntary!

This troper is kind of embarrassed by most CampGay men. But in his experience, the hatred is usually mutual ("why can't you just be a ButchLesbian and leave me alone?" "I LIKE GUYS!!!" "Honey, stop lying to yourself. You just want my sperm."). (The irony is that he sees pregnancy as BodyHorror and is proudly childfree- apparently some cis guys think that the uterus is an all-devouring monster that overruns a female-bodied person's sense of logic.)

Not to mention the really stereotypical FtM's he's had to deal with. OH GOD, every time he hears a trans man say something like "I'm sticking it to patriarchal gender norms and thereby deconstructing the notion of gender" or "I want to be a pregnant man", he fucking {{Face Palm}}s.

This troper is a freshman in high school (but that's going to change in a week's time as of this writing), and, for the most part, ''cannot stand'' her fellow freshmen. It always annoys me to see somebody who just so happens to be a freshman swearing at teachers, listening to music in the halls, carrying a forbidden backpack around, and just generally being an idiot, since it doesn't do anything to defy the stereotypes about us. Bear in mind, it's not the older students that are the problem (most of my friends are sophomores and above, in fact); it's the administrators. They insist on treating us like toddlers by imposing various systems on us to keep us in line, and by making announcements that apply to the whole school, but specifically addressing them to the freshmen for no reason! It's positively sickening.

Dear Linux users: I know you dislike Apple and Microsoft. Now stop bitching about how much you hate them and bashing people who decide to use an Apple or Microsoft OS computers. Some of us ''prefer'' them because oh guess what? It has what we need. Do I flame you for using Linux? Do I go out of my way to antagonize Linux users for using Linux? Do I bash Linux because I don't really like it that much and admit it's just personal choice? Do I make suggestions to you to just get Linux whenever you have any form of computer problems? No? Then if you want that offensive stereotype of stuck-up Linux users to go away...'''''StopBeingStereotypical'''''. The more you reinforce that stereotype, the more people will assume you're all Linux FanDumb and Microsoft&Apple HateDumb. And frankly, it's probbaly easy to count how many Linux users I met who ''isn't'' a Walking Stereotype.

Has anyone read what the main page for this says about the Burned Furs attitude towards fetishes? Well, I wish people like that would stop acting the way they do, because they give the fandom a bad name (I'm not sure what my attitude towards the fetishists themselves is). All I need now is a fetishist complaining I'M giving furries a bad name and the cycle will be complete.

This INTP troper is fed up with fellow INTPs, who, by their own admission, think they're on a higher plane of being than others because they know how to dress up their crappy fallacious arguments in an overwrought pseudo-intellectual vocabulary of words they don't accurately know the meaning of. It also bugs me how so many of them wear their self-diagnosed Asperger's like a badge of honor and claim to have so much in common with Albert Einstein when all they really know about Einstein is what they've inferred from a few quotes of his they found in "inspirational" chain emails from their aunt (all this JUST because Einstein has been FanWanked to have been an INTP, which only further fuels their douchebaggery). Oh, and for Chrissakes, stop talking about how much you relate to L just because you're an antisocial slob with bad eating habits.

Other things that bug this troper: the fact that there are so many self-righteous bigot Mac users that if I ever dare mention that I prefer Macs over [=PCs=], I pretty much HAVE to attach a "but I don't judge you for your computing preferences" disclaimer; how there are so many dickhead vegans out there that most people are understandably closed-minded toward our cause (Nice Job Breaking It, Activists); ANY fellow metalhead who thinks any band that doesn't fit his biased preconceived notions of what metal is to a T cannot possibly be metal or connected to it in any way and fellow Christians who hold onto their outdated creationist and "homosexuality is a choice, a BAD choice!" views so tightly that their very faith in God/Christ becomes contingent on those two factors, making it look like you HAVE to be bigoted and deathly afraid of logic in order to receive Jesus Christ's redeeming grace and salvation. Man, all that bitching makes me feel like TheAngryVideoGameNerd would be staring at me slack-jawed and insisting that I roll up a spliff and listen to some NeilDiamond to calm my overworked nerves.

Dear Fandom of ''MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', or "Bronies" as you sometimes refer to yourself: I know how people often think you guys are creeps for watching a show that's originally targeted for five year old girls. However, the stereotype is ''not'' going to go away anytime soon the more you keep reinforcing them. So just stop it. If you don't want people thinking you're creeps who're obsessed with a show targeted at five year olds, then try talking about ''something else'' for a change. So far, every single person I've met with ''one'' exception who likes that show is ''constantly talking about it'' and acting like a Monomaniac / StrawFan. b---- Why do you have to keep going back to StopBeingStereotypical and setting a bad example for all of us?
