By far, the worst stereotype is that boys are stronger than girls or vise versa. Both genders can be strong and gender shouldn’t matter

Hey! Idk if these count as a “stereotype,” so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong! I’m not into those stories where bad boy falls in love with good girl, I feel like it’s really cliche and many authors use it. A lot of popular stories are about mafia, but the mafia is usually Italian, Spanish or American. I haven’t seen much out of that range.

Yeah those are stereotypes! I agree with you. The mafia is only Italian most of the time. How about the Russian Mafia? or the Chinese? or any other mafia like why are they not included?
Anyways, thanks for replying!!!

To me… I dislike unethical/ unprofessional relationships. Like teacher-student, doctor-patient, police-victim, (provided they met in that work setting, and developing their feelings in the work setting, large age gap, involving teens) those are just unacceptable to me.
There are too many stories of this which glorifies these sort of relationships.

This isn’t a stereotype, I think? But I really don’t like when the MC keeps quiet or does idle_sad_loop 
or whatever it’s called when the mean girl says something. It’s frustrating. There’s nothing else I dislike:)

Omg, I’m so happy you said Chinese, because I’m Chinese, haha. I think everyone uses Italian, because the characters in Miss MJ’s series, “It’s just an illusion:----” are Italian.

Yeah! The Italian mafia is like the go-to I guess for people who decide they want to write mafia stories?
And of course, it was no problem!
