With the introduction of the nationality tag, I think iCCup just fed my nationalities stereotype.
For instance, I ban all latinos who join my games. Ironically, I have never gotten along with them in sc despite me being one (I was born in Brazil).
I try to think differently, tell myself I am wrong, but hardly find any evidence to convince me otherwise. Is it just me or are there other people who think the Latin community in Battle.net is extremely BM? Specially, Peruvians, Mexicans. Weird, because when I visited these countries, I had a completely different impression about them. Both Peruvians and Mexicans I met in person were so friendly, nice and very festive.
In Starcraft though, I seem to always stumble in some asshole, who lags, accuses me of being the lagger, then proceeds to call me names ranging from "noob", "jajaja XD PUTO", things about my mom, and other things I would be ashamed to repeat here.
When a Russian joins, I dont expect any BM. Usually, they are very polite. But I do expect cheese. Seems like all Russians gathered in a secret meeting and agreed to go ling all-in vs me every game.
Americans, Canadians, Polish and Koreans dont seem to follow any pattern to me. I have met some really nice one, others not so nice. Though, when I see the [KR] tag I kind of get afraid, lol. 
Usually, I find the Europeans the most pleasant to play with, specially the Northern Countries like Sweden, Norway, and Finland. I had really good experience with Ukraine, Germany, France, and Hungary too. =)
Though, I had these impressions before, I think the new iccup thing really gave it a boost lol. Maybe not so good for some... T_T
Do the country tag affects you in any way?
PS: Just wanna stretch my opinions are to Starcraft only. There are good and bad people anywhere you go.

Hispanic Protosses - expect DT rush/drop of some sort.
|
All I know is that I should leave when I see [KR] XD
|
I find that the best games come from europeans 
|
Peruvians like playing zerg and ling allining (and lagging)
Polish like protoss and proxy gates and carriers
China lag lol
Russians just... being dumb imo lol
Koreans being gosu obviously
|
HAHAHA PUTO!!!! xD
Mexican and most South Americans piss me off, being Mexican I though it would be easy to get along with them, Russian and Ukrainians always seemed the nicest to me.
|
I'm starting to avoid people that have tags from South America because they usually lag. I havnt played enough games this season to come to any conclusions about bm though.
|
Ppl from Scandinavia is rarely BM. Norwegian ppl is btw super awesome
|
I HATE seeing jajajajajajajaja, no matter what game I play.

youve learned well from me young padawan you are ready to become a Jedi.
Though : russians mostly are terrans
peruvians type stupid shit like JAJAJA XDDDD and then lag and blame you for it.
And polish players like, DT drops too

i am a man. i dont dodge koreans
|
every peruvian player ive ever played has cheesed. period. especially the ones in scv-b.

Man... I also do some proxy gates = /.
To be honest i have never "BMed" anyone, is just a game so i see no reason to get mad, and i also can't recall being subject to BM in any game, although i really don't play much.
But i do remember this chilean guy that asked me from where i was and then just kept talking about all of his colombian friends, how they were all going to go to a party the next day and how colombians were all nice and friendly until i replied: "Well, not everyone of us is like that" and then he shut up and stopped causing to mess up my BO lol, so maybe that could be considered BM.

i never lag with people from american continent, an yes most players from southamerica are bms , me too sometimes...

|
It is my firm believe that there is a dark templar on the peruvian flag (no one can tell though of course because it's invisible)
|
only thing ive ever noticed is play styles. As in, Canadians/Americans play a pretty standard foreign style, healthy mix of cheese and normal builds. Peruvian zergs- and really anyone from south america- tend to be all-insh and cheesy. Vietnamesse and Koreans play pretty standard but do everything they can to annoy you and bm if they lose. Harras your workers with theirs at the start of the games, building pylons at your nat when you 12 hatch, any kind of gay thing. Chinese are the same only a lot more aggressive and seem to have a lot of terrans.
also notice races based on country, obvious ones like Russia: Terran, Peru: Zerg, etc. I never really talk to the other person so its rare that I experience bm and actually remember it.
edit: Ive never faced a south american toss who didnt one base pvz.
|
Quebecois are usually arrogant frenchmen who like to play 2v2 and germans are good at zvz
|
+1 for the Russian Terran will all-in stereotype/meme
|
Players from Peru usually lag... so I try to avoid them if possible
|
USA: Don't be surprised if you get BM'ed.
Peru: Expect a laggy game and play safe cause there's a high risk of getting cheesed.
China: Expect a laggy game.
Korea (during Korean hours): If it's PvP, be ready to fight off a 2 Gate cheese. In any event, you're facing a player of higher skill level than you will any other time of the day, so be ready to play your best.
|
This thread is hilarious. I am only saying that because OP did not say anything negative about Canada.
|
I don't really care about the country tag, but I don't play against [CN] for lag reasons.
|
Hispanic protosses have realized, the hard way, from events back in the time of European conquistadors, that discovering new land and declaring it for their own is an effective method of domination.
Mimicking the Europeans, who have now abandoned such primitive and provocative practices in favor of more standard negotiation, these hispanic protosses set forth on such a mission with their elusive proxy gateways and silent, fast dt's that cut through unprepared terrans like smallpox.
fucking cheesy tosses.
|
Im really curious to what people have to say against Canada. I mostly play Canadians/Americans so its hard for me to discern then from the majority, cause' they are just the average run of the mill. For someone not in my time zone though, it could be interesting to see if we are distinctive hmm.
|
many players got smurf accs from other countries so u can't be sure that your opponent is really Korean or Mexican for example..
I usually ban players from Peru and Chile.. I got nothing against them but i'm tired of PvT'ing vs a laggy peruvian ;;
|
if people from CN or PE or CL joins i will usually ban them like N3m0 said.
playing vs laggy faggots that will cheese you then balme you for the lag or if they win call you a newb isnt fun
|
Canadians lag like a mofo. Always. The Rest of the World never lags.
Russian are also really nice
|
Scandinavia won the game xD I don't really notice the tag, but if I stumble unto someone from Scandinavia I usually say a sentence in norwegian just to throw the guy off if he didn't notice my tag.
|
Australians are mostly zergs, and the few that choose protoss end up being successful. Terrans become innactive.
|
US/CA - usually standard games. not much cheese here.
Latinos - don't really find many terrans here. faced two latino zergs in a row that 5 and 6 pooled.
RUS - finding a lot of russian terrans that do a lot of cute mech shit, but usually gets shut down.
KR - not much cheese here either, but a lot of "cute" shit like Russians (esp. terrans). also, most smurfs i've played are from here.
West/Mid Europe - pretty standard like US/CA
CN/TW - i'm finding Chinese and Taiwanese players the hardest to play against for some reason (not because of lag). most of the ones i've played are solid mechanics-wise.

Well, players from [CR] are usually polite

Peru = All in~
Mexico = All in~
South america = All in~
Macedonia = LOL ALL IN~
China = LAG
Canada = Says "Eh" Alot

Peru/Brazil/Chile : Expect BM/lag/cheese/zerg players - Srsly everytime I've had a clanwar vs one of these countries, I've seen them bm and lag very badly ;o Maybe they're pissed that htey always lag and take it out on other people.
USA: Usually a mix between cool people and huge tools.. sorta like clan x17. They usually play pretty standard but there's a lot of unorthodox players there too.
Poland : One of the nicest countries out there in my experience, though they do have their bm tards like everyone else. I guess they play pretty standard..
Macedonia : Expect all in ling and extreme bm if it fails.. Oh wait, that only applies if you're facing Octzerg, sorry.
|
"When a Russian joins, I dont expect any BM. Usually, they are very polite. But I do expect cheese. Seems like all Russians gathered in a secret meeting and agreed to go ling all-in vs me every game."
Very true, i get this alot too, the sad part is i loose even though i expect it.
|
Jamaicans = play zerg like Chill
Peruvians = play zerg like OctZerg
|
All peruvians all in ling every game. Nothing new.
|
|
|
i only seem to play against koreans so idk ..
|
Okay, sad thing is tho when I'm facing a peruvian is I even expect the God damnit fucking faggot ass all in ling, I know its coming 100% because hes peruvian, and even when I stop it I still get gayed with a 2 hatch lurker drop.
|
Hmm.. I can't say that the country tag has affected me too much.
My opinion about ladder games has, since iccup started growing (ie. ~6 seasons ago), been that most of the ppl I play against are assholes that won't gg (which I don't care about anyway) and will try to cheese you with DTs or ling-all ins. This has soured my perspective of laddering in general, and led me to be annoyed whenever I ladder.
The only thing that the country tag has really done for me is help me avoid all the stupid latino laggers. And I see less of the old "from?", though there still are retards around who would ask "from? FROM????"
|
Americans BM and leave all the fucking time. Spaniards and peruvians cheese every single game. Norwegians and Swedes play straight up and usually kick my ass. Russians are almost always free wins. Koreans woop my sorry ass.
|
Bolivia = Allin ling
Peru = Allin ling
Chile = Allin ling
Macedonia = Allin ling
|
Peru and Chile are the worse countries with lag in my experiences, usually if I see it ill ban them automatically =\
|
you know, peruvians only play zerg and all in cuz they all must be the same guy lol
also, the latin lack of skill must have something to do with the way we look at the game: "its just a fun computer game, no need to take it seriously :D", dont take the bming seriously too.
jajajajaja PUTO XDDDDD

I think what you should do is make a list of every game you play, rating your opponents on things like cheese/bm/etc. You can then make spreadsheets to statistically compare this data and determine empirically whether or not the stereotypes are deserved! You'll have to play a lot of games, though

I never last long enough in a game with somebody to make any sort of assessments.

For me, every Russian is a Terran and will BM you to death if you use your dragoons.

latinos -use "XD" all the time, ive never found an exception to this rule. If they are zerg they will cheese.
chinese -makes for a really annoying game, they have terrible lag and a lot of the time terrible manners too
americans -rarely say gg unless they win, often make retarded excuses when they lose
korean - always follow whatever new trend pros are doing. discrimination against foreigners

Me experiences of few years gaming  .
S.Ame = All in + ask random questions like, from, age, name, eye color etc...
N.Ame = Never GG's after game(canadiens more often tho), also they explain to you why they lost. "u got so lucky" "i macroed so badly" "my mom was bothering me" <-- don't care.
China = no game for known reasons .
Korea/Russia = nice to play vs cause they shut up and play and they wont even BM you if u make same crazy gaycheese shit cause of the language barrier.
Poland = Very chilly guys, sometimes I have crazy meaningless bmfests with them but that only cheers me up while laddering.
ger/fra/swe/nor/cze/uk/nld = nothing to complain here.

Wow, what's this hate towards peru all of a sudden^^ and where did they all learn the same all-in ling strategies. Anyway speaking not specifically about ladder games here's what i found amongst countries on starcraft:
Germans: try to speak german to you or randomly starts speaking german after being in an english conversation with them for a while, never noticed any other country do this and i have no idea why :p
other than that usually friendly, but totally hopeless as soon as there is more than 1 german in a chatroom you can't speak to them cause they go 100% german.
French: Usually prefers not speaking english at all it seems, and when they do they seem to be randomly extremely rude or overly friendly towards people, it seems french people just roll a dice everytime they meet someone on starcraft and based on the dice decide to hate or love that person.
americans(usa) easy to get along with from the get-go but quickly turn rough in a conflict.
canadians(including the french ones!) seems to be one of the friendlier starcraft nations...
koreans!!! it seems many korean more than most other nations with poor english are unaware of their condition... i've seen so many koreans sprout out sentence after sentence completely incrompehensible english and expecting to be understood. Nothing more adorable than korean broken english though -_-
Spanish: These guys don't speak very often, but when they do they go all-in. For some reason spanish guys can go for weeks or months in your flist and never speak a word, and then suddenly they come from nowhere and starts speaking about some random shit and i even forgot who they were or why their in my flist in the first place (happened several times, non-spanish guys dont do this!!)
Italians: some of the worst western european english come from here, they are also unaware of this and seems to understand english well and can use pretty advanced words, however when they try to put them together their long sentences i usually can't understand shit. Most of them seem kinda unfriendly too.
that's it! any other countries i feel like i haven't met enough to do a meaningful generalization

How is bull-dog cheese?
Koreans are easy to predict and play against because you can be sure you're playing against whatever is popular in progaming at the moment.
Everyone else is the same, except that they do it really badly because they don't remember everything they saw or they will be trying to copy a really outdated build that doesn't work at all on the map they're playing/current meta-game.
|
peruvians cheese and koreans are good. Thats about it for me
|
I didn't realize that a lot of people on iCCup don't gg until I started watching the livestreams... winning a game is pretty rare for me D:
|
|
|
To be perfectly honest when I ladder on wc3 I never say gg if I lose... I only say it if I am about to win and I want the dude to quit... I don't see too much point to be polite to an online-stranger I encountered over a game...
However, I never use profanity to anyone and I gg politely when playing against my friends,.
|
I'm Venezuelan and I play on a Hamachi-like kind of server, which is filled with 90% Peruvians and 10% Chileans and I have to admit that (being a South American myself) that they indeed lag a lot, are all Zerg players, and ling all-in you every game.
I'm sad about our reputation

its a viable build that works on better players because it seems like they're min hacking and already have turrets up when opponent's ol gets to t's base.

even worse is when you join a game with [AU] tag and they ask Austria?

No because most of the posters are bad players and will call anything that beats them cheese, anyone who beats them a faggot, and any micro mistake something due to lag.
|
USA/Canada- Usually a standard game, a healthy bit of cheese, proxy, and all-ins sometimes.
Europe- Very friendly, especially in UMS games. Play varies, because I don't like listing twenty more countries. I count Australia in this too.
Hispanic(Peru, Chile, Mexico...)- I expect DT, 1base Lurker, and BBS most of the time, and also BM at the end when they call me a noob. Some are really nice, though. Doesn't seem to be an in-between.
China- I do expect lag, and I also feel cool, because I'm chinese too. I've seen alot of agressive play.
Korea- On two player maps, I expect some sort of cheese. I'm not scared of them, but I realize that I need to play my best or I might get embarrassed.
|
Peru: jajajaja
Russia: )) smiley
US: cocky bm
Europe: hmm can't make any stereotype.
Kor: cldsgfdg23dfg123fd1g32 ??!!???
China: lag
I can't make any stereotype gameplay wise. Some Peruvians play standard too.
|
I would say that at lower levels 50% of the players are protoss; 30% are zerg and 20% terran. As for the more skilled guys (especially Koreans) they always seem to pick "the easier race" e.g. I pick zerg - they pick terran; I pick protoss - they pick zerg; me terran - he protoss. It gets really irritating if you dont want to play ZvT and arent too good TvP. In addition noone wants to play TvT and when I finally play vs someone who doesnt pick other race/leave game it turns out that he is a really good player who resetted his statistics. Well, it's nice to play vs better opponents, because this way you can improve, but usually TvT players can own me incredibly :-)
Peruvians used to be one of the most BM players I have ever met, but to be honest I dont really care, because I am BM too. They will just call me a "puta" or w/e and maybe flame few times and leave. Americans/Canadians are much worse, because they often get e-rage problems and keep msging me for 10 minutes, even when I am in another game. I think the fact that they flame for so long is a result from the fact that they speak English well and know more insults?
Very few people notice that ICCUP is not only a "high-skill" server; but also a typical pirated game server used by noob Russians. A lot of those poor D- guys play there because they cant join (no legit cd-key), or experience lag at battle.net. I feel sorry for them, because everyone is owning them so hard + they get flamed constantly. Yet a lot of them dont leave the game fast and keep trying to come back, even when you take 3/4 of the map TvP and start going nukes. Most players will flame you + leave when they see that you are building nukes; those guys just enjoy the game even when they lose.
A lot of Koreans suck; they have gigantic apm but any non standard play makes them really uncomfortable and they dont know how to react at all. Ive also noticed that they usually talk a bit in English, and when they start losing they keep talking in Korean (I assume those are flames).
Personally I have never met a Korean who could speak English at decent level if he wasnt studying in USA; maybe I always play vs some 10 year old kids, but even Peruvians seem to have better English. When speaking of language problems - French never ever speak English; dunno why.
Taiwanese/Chinese players usually lag and drophack, if you allow them not to use anti-hack. Maybe I just got unlucky, recently even some 50-5 Taiwanese guy managed to drophack me somehow; it's not that I show off by saying that I defeated him, but more that I think that he abused those stats and noone really bothered to complain about him. In addition the "number of complaints" field on iccup doesnt seem to work I think, thus this guy wasnt penalized.
As for game style:
Koreans play very aggressive, usually they focus on micro and have pretty low economy; yet they often try to squeeze an expansion early.
Americans seem to love hydras ZvP; it's less popular than few years ago, but still happens often.
Every German player plays Protoss and goes FE :D
~30% play cheesy all-innish strats; and 5% try really creative and weird builds (some guy went mech-tank rush vs me on colo TvZ).
|
^
Ah yea you are right some Koreans at low level are so standard it is laughable. Like you go 2 gates PvZ they scout it but they still don't know how to react lol.

They usually refuse to play vs random too.
But I dont think it's a national trait; a lot of players (30%?) dodge random..

Despite the flag, there are easy ways to spot a Russian and a Korean, too.
Russians type parenthesis at the end of sentences, like.
RussianDude: Hi)))
RussianDude: ))
I dont know if it is meant to be a smiley with no eyes, or some sound blasting thingy... but most Russians type like that lol.
Koreans are easy to spot when you ask them a "yes or no" question, and they answer "ok". They use the acknowledgment as an affirmation.
Leath: Did you break his third?
KoreanDude: ok
I find Koreans play much different than everyone else. I cant really define their play style, but instead of copying pro it seems like they make up their own. I find it hard to beat them, because their play is sometimes new to me, and they execute it well.
|
Chile + peru = ling all in or 3-4 gates from 1 base + the JAJAJA JEJEJE is fking annoying.
Russian terrans have a strong play and good conservative style
USA players tend to cry a lot when they lose
Koreans = imba

Russians
Russians are usually really friendly. I never had great problems with any Russian player. I really think the " )) " smiley is typical for them. They also try to distract you chatting in early game when they rush. I think this goes for low level players. High Level Russians are usually really good and play straight up macro style.
Germans
Being German myself, I always get the impression that they try to copy progamers. They try to copy the builds and get as good as possible with their mechanics and playing style. I personally think they are not really agressive and prefer standard play.
They will also try to end the game as early as possible if they get a chance.
USA
My personal with people from the USA is really positive. They usually play a standard game with a healthy amount of cheese in their gameplay. If they lose they usually ask for a regame and as long as you are going to give them a re, they won't be bad mannered.
Korea
Koreans are usually really friendly but they don't talk while they play. They barely talk in early game, but I prefer to just play my game so..
I think they know they are better than foreigners or they think so at least and try to either rush / cheese hardcore or play a standard game and win with better mechanics and a really aggressive style.
If you win some of them are really bad mannered and tell you that you are lagging and insult you. Most of them leave with "gg/ww" or ask for re and a few ask if I'm really from Germany (I'm playing with a Korean flag, but usually when the Korean talks to me I reply that I'm from Germany (in hangul)).
After I told them I'm from Germany and they lost, they usually ask for my name and the German time, haha!!
Chile
They make fun of everything, they all in, cheese and like already mentioned really like to "xD" and "ajajajaja". I don't like to play against players from Chile.

And I always dodge random becuase its so annoying to play.

I hate 'jajajaja' as well. I usually associate that with cheese or hacking. :D

Lol, I'm so used to not caring where people were from, that I don't even bother looking at the thing, and would only know where they were from if say they asked me, because I would just ask back, and I totally forgot about that change. : P

Yeah, I see that so often it gets really annoying :<

Countries with people i vs (laddering with people i do not know) that are very friendly include:
Sweden
Canada
England
I don't think anyone from those 3 countries has bm'ed me O_o.

for me the most mannered guy i met was a german. It was a game on bs tvp. Guy was just friendly to play with.
|
i always enjoy seeing [US] players with incredibly immature names. urmom69, xxssjgokuxx, mstrchieflulz94
|
I just avoid south americans. You have about 90% chances of getting cheesed, game is laggy and that "XD" smile they spam whenever they can is annoying as fuck. I know many south american players who are very nice people, yet the average south american iccup player is something to be avoided at all costs.

...
some kid just asked "From?" like 5 times -_____________-
I told him China, even though there wasn't any lag.

imo its not such a big problem to guess... problem is that many people are dumb morons

Peruian players can go screw themselves. Mad cheesers, and when they lose they accuse you for being noob and not losing to it. LOL
|
peruvians dont really cheese me that much, but they almost always bm when i win
|
Do you guys even encounter people from the Philippines (PH). Yes we still exist thank you very much.

Everything that I've experienced has already been mentioned except for that most players from the poorer European like romania, lithuania, bulgaria, etc. have a much lower skill level at their rank than most other players. (a C rank romania has a much lower skill than a C canadian or w/e)

Sadly I agree. Whenever I play a fellow countryman it astounds me how much they suck and I go on their profile page and see they're like a C+/B- high. WTF I'm a C AT BEST, and I'm actually much worse than that nowadays.

Now they just say "Canada?" instead of "from?"
I once carried out a full conversation with a Hispanic player on BNet by alternating between 'jajajajaja' and 'jejeje' in my responses lol.

I just ban Koreans and Chinese
|
Whenever I run into an AU/NZ guy I know I need to put the game on high lat, besides that I'm actually not bothered about who I play
No stereotypes for England/GB? :o
|
What code do people from northern ireland get?
I always try to start the game anyway, even if it's against CN/AU/NZ which 99% of the time lag with me.
Most GB guys I've met don't talk much at all.

Yeah agreed. I've been playing koreans almost exclusively, though not on purpose -_-
no one else joins my games =/
They always ask "from?" like US could possibly be somewhere else and they always choose race like one second before the game starts. Then they ask me what race I am even though I chose as soon as I entered.
It really is annoying.

l still get people asking me "from?". Some Korean joined a game and asked from, so i did the whole "from, yes ^^" thing. Until he started speaking korean, to which I replied "itqitiqtbw yes ^^". It really astounds me how people still dont "get" that there are tags on your name, and its a very simple process to find it out. Some Australian manner pyloned me 4 times, so I said "god hates Australians" and he was honestly surprised I knew his nationality. Crazy...
anyway, ive decided that most canadians/australians/brits are very nice. Every time I play one we just end up casually talking while we play lol. Americans on the other hand are nice at the start but bm like crazy once something goes wrong.

I bm when I win and they won't leave. When I lose, I just take it like a man and try to leave with dignity.

i bm when i play against a terran who turtles so bad and wont leave even though I take the entire map even if he loses his main hes gonna go turtle in another base with turrets supply depots etc -_-
At that point i start saying 'out' and spelling it with pylons while getting carriers
Never bm if i lose though

They must think those are clan tags.

When i said i'm from Singapore, they are like, "wth is that?"

Europeans tend to have good manners.. like the Polish, Scandinavians, etc.
South Americans tend to cheese like shit lol.
The Chinese don't seem to lag all that much.
That's about it for me.

Maybe it is because English is not their native language? Not everyone knows Canada and can instantly associate [CA] with Canada.

I don't know why some people have so much Lat issues with Chinese players, but 99% of the games with Chinese players were perfectly smooth on High (sometimes even low). I have to put it on High against some Koreans as well.
|
It astonishes me how some idiots don't have a clue about geography. Maybe it's because I come from a country that's looks down upon people with low geographical knowledge and I was 1st place at my middle schools geography bee because I'm a bad ass mother fucker.

After getting kicked out of 30 games in a row i think i'll change my Country tag

the country tags are suddenly a little annoying actually
being from norway, the [NO] that pops up when I join has made people just instinctively think I don't have anti hack turned on and then they've banned me
lol
which is pretty funny honestly, but also annoying.

i tend to find polish people very well mannered
other than that i seem like the only person not to talk very much in game, besides gl hf beforehand and most of the time a gg after
though if i'm angry or frustrated ill just leave >.>

I though it was funny the first and second time. Now it's happened 5 times and it starts being really annoying.

It is my firm believe that there is a dark templar on the peruvian flag (no one can tell though of course because it's invisible)
Just played 3 Peruvian Protosses in a row in Fighting Spirit
Game 1. Probe went to my base for gas steal before I started my depot, I left the game quickly for a draw game.
Game 2: P went for 2 gate goon to DT and I went for siege expand, suicided 4 of his goons for a turret kill (I didn't repair) and contained me to 1 base with DT. killed my army with DT Mine drags as I moved out to my natural.
Game 3. Went for 12 Nexus on 5 o'clock when he spawned at 1 o'clock. My dropship harass failed due to him making cannons + gateways on his proxy natural and fended off with DT's. He then took his 3rd at 11o'clock and massed cannons at his ramp. So I just went for 3 base double armoy turtle and killed him off with my maxed army. Game went longer than usual since he's sending / suiciding DT's in my army while defending his 2nd and 3rd by storming the ramp.
so 1 draw / loss / win. Not QQ'ing but it's hilarious how true those stereotypes are.
