  Stereotypes describe a generality that may or may not apply to the majority. Despite the fact that it doesn't apply to the majority, the stereotype itself still describes an actual real-world generality. Coming to a conclusion based off of a generality/stereotype is not totally unfounded. I mean this guy called himself an asshole because he came to a very probable and realistic conclusion.

    >especially when the topic takes up 50% of my news feed nowadays. In an era when the "media" we consume is "free" (entirely supported by ad revenue driven by clicks), clickbait, bent sensationalist narratives and faux outrage appear to win the day. Personally I'm sick of it. The tech media have went from reporting tech news to hiring culture vultures from Vox, Salon and the Gawker network to stir up click counts from idiots.
