About
Stereotype Me is a multi-pane exploitable image featuring several women holding signs displaying various stereotypes followed by a satirical custom 4th panel.
Origin
On March 5th, 2007, DeviantArtist Loserology posted a four-pane image titled "Stereotype Me," featuring photographs of young women holding signs representing various stereotypes, including "I'm Punk So I Must Rebel," "I'm Asian So I Must Like Maths," "I Dye My Hair Crazy Colours So I Must Be Looking For Attention" and "I'm a Person So I Must Be Stereotyped" (shown below, left). On June 11th, 2011, Redditor Skylarity uploaded a photoshopped version of the image featuring a pizza in the bottom-right panel with a sign saying "I'm a pizza so I must taste fucking amazing" to /r/funny[4] (shown below, right).
