First off, please don't list and explain your choices. Also, I know stereotypes have always been around and probably will be.
Anyway, I really wanted to get this out since it's really been bugging me for awhile:
I hate how Goth kids are protrayed in modern animation.
No seriously, it's annoying. I wouldn't label myself as Goth (I do shop at Hot Topic though), but I can appriciate it and enjoy the style. A fairly large amount of my classmates at school are Gothic and they act nothing like how the Goth kids on TV act. They are actually - gasp - nice people and rarely (if ever!) angst.
Meanwhile, on shows the Goths are always shoving it down your throat how "different" and "dark" they are and angst how non-Goths totally suck. For example:
The Goth kids from South Park
Gwen (of the Total Drama series)
Sam Manson and a whole group of them from the Control Freaks episode(Danny Phantom)
Vanessa Doofenschmirtz and her friends (Phineas and Ferb)
Now, I am aware some Goths (in real life) are genuinely depressed or for numerous reasons. However, not all of them are like that and some simply enjoy the style. You can still be happy and wear the style.
So that's all I have to say. Any stereotypes you hate?
