Gone trollin'
Stereotypes cause a lot of drama, and can be used for trolling. For example:
- Prima: Lol, furries are sick fucks who have yiff orgies in fursuits.
- Secunda: Why do you believe everything you read on that website? That is just a stereotype.
- Prima: Shut up, furry.
- Secunda: So? Why does it matter if I'm a furry?
- Prima: It means you are a sick fuck who has yiff orgies in a fursuit.
- Secunda then retreats to his basement to have a cry and cut, then a yiff orgy in a fursuit with other sick fucks.
Stereotypes can be used very effectively against anyone who is easily offended or is prone to snap judgements. Leading with a stereotype to produce an artful response that can be easily picked apart is one of the basic ways of trolling to produce internet drama. Please refer to page 503 in your Trolling the internets for lulz and profit books for a complete description of this phenomenon.
Stereotypes are also VERY useful, sometimes you don't have enough time to find out whether a certain nigger you meet loves fried chicken. So, you assume that they all do(this is actually very close to fact). However, there is a small chance you may meet a straight Jew, smart Mexican, useful women, or whatever, but that's a risk you must take.
Making a new stereotype
Existing stereotypes are all well and good, but to truly start an internet shit storm, you'll need a weapon never before seen, and that would be a 'new' stereotype.
- Pick some manner of racial, ethnic, religious, locational, or special interest group; an overdeveloped sense of self-importance is essential for this, and a casual disregard for others also helps.
- Find a common joke or popular trait about this group; for example, Californians tend to buy more cosmetics than many people in the rest of America. This tends to be because they live right next to some of the best beaches on the planet. If someone points this out, or any similar plausible explanation, accuse them of "making excuses" and insinuate they're secretly in love with your target. Invent new words if it helps you get this point across. Calling someone easily offended a name they haven't heard before, like Califag in this example, is almost guaranteed to get them pissed off at the internets.
- Once you have your popular trait, recklessly exaggerate it, generalize it to all people of this group, and pompously state it as dogma in the presence of as many of your target audience as possible. Three distinct internets users is the bare minimum. They will get offended, everybody who is their internet buddy will get offended, and all the rebels without a cause will get offended, providing you much lulz and happiness!
Help smudge the hate
In 2003 Something Awful writer Zack Parsons suggested to make up ridiculous stereotypes and tell them to racists who will then tell them to other racists, eventually "Niggers like dirtbiking" or something equally ridiculous will become everyday racist rhetoric. And when we have people spraypainting "GO BACK TO JAMAICA YOU CARRIBEAN ISLAND LOVING KIKE" on peoples walls people will respond with "What the fuck is this idiot saying?"
