When building characters, worldviews, or fictional societies, it can be challenging to understand how certain groups are perceived—without falling into repetitive, shallow, or harmful generalizations. This generator aims to help by offering a broad range of stereotype prompts while still encouraging thoughtful and responsible use.

Each stereotype can reflect either a positive, negative, or neutral societal perception, depending on how it is applied and interpreted. Keep in mind that stereotypes are deeply rooted in cultural narratives and can be sensitive or offensive if used carelessly. They should serve as tools for character development, worldbuilding, satire, or research—not as statements of truth.

To begin, simply choose a category and generate a stereotype. Want more? Click again to receive a fresh set of random results. Use them as inspiration, challenge them, subvert them, or build layered characters who break beyond them.
