Using stereotypes

The important thing to remember about stereotypes in games is that they are very simple.

'Loyal to the king = superior' and 'not loyal to the king = evil'

INSIDER = loyal the king, NEUTRAL = neither, OUTSIDER = not loyal to the king

Remember who sets the stereotype.

It's interesting that Hitler said that if you weren't German with blonde hair and blue eyes your scum; when Hitler was Austrian and had black hair and green eyes.
(therefore Hitler called himself scum)

Mainly the INSIDERS set the sterotype, because there's more INSIDERS.

(if there were more OUTSIDERS than INSIDERS technically the roles reverse, in theory....)

How do the 'Loyal to the king' people treat the 'not loyal to the king' people?

Anyway they want because there aren't loyal to the king like them...

Why is there a stereotype?

How does this affect the stereotypers, and the stereotyped?

E.G. Old bloke = wizard

//the villagers think the grey haired old man is a wizard, whether he is or not...
(//consequently that is a rpg stereotype... that a rpg'er will fall for everytime...)

If a character whether INSIDER or OUTSIDER disagrees with the stereotype a group will persecute that character.

Back to the Nazi Germany example (becuase it's such a good example)

Hitler why did he hate the Jews?
A: the doctor that was taking care of his mother when she died was Jewish
B: in Veinna he was poor and was jelous of the rich Jews
there is no clear cut reason!

What did he do about this hate?

i: he became the dictator of Germany
ii: he made fun of them and blamed Germany's world war one losses on them
iii: he passed laws against them
iv: he allowed violence against them
v: he exported them from Germany
vi: he started to conquer the countries that he'd exported them to; thus he thought he'd soon have no more room for exporting
vii: he started mass murder of a race; genocide

Which means?

Have a reason to hate.
Make the other people think like you.
Make it legal.
Hurt them.
Get rid of them.
Kill them.

So simple stereotypes, have reasons.

(the stereotype doesn't apply to all people just some and isn't nessasarilly true)
What type of person drives a black BMW, with tinted windows?
(any) but the stereotype type says a black man that is a drug dealer

Remember:- It's your RPG so just make it so you like it, and therefore other people like-you will also like it.

P.s. I'm not a Nazi.
