Which exists for a reason.

You could just as easily say the "poor people are lazy and unintelligent" trope exists "for a reason". Neither are true of all groups of people and that's why representation is an issue.

"Stereotypes exist for a reason" either applies to all of them or to none of them.

When we stop demonizing poor people for being poor and writing laws that only serve to punish them, maybe I'll start caring about how rich people are portrayed.

this. Stereotypes are stupid, lazy writing no matter who they affect. Maybe we can *gasp* want a variety of characters who don't fit tired old tropes all the time, without people who don't fit into that particular group flipping their shit about it.

every stereotype exists "for a reason", that doesn't make it not bullshit

It's a little racist to assume every rich person is white, as though POC couldn't be...

Never said they couldn't be, cupcake!

Whining about rich white people stereotypes though? If you ain't white, how could anyone tell?

I'm... confused by this response. How did race factor in until you added it in? "Rich people are lazy assholes" isn't a stereotype that exists for only white people. If you mean the others, do you think rich Indians or Chinese or Jamaicans don't go to boarding schools and get cars bought for them by their parents?

I'm not white so I'm not seeing the leap I guess.

I'm not rich and I'm not white. Which is, actually, why I'm pretty resentful of stereotypes, but I suppose you wouldn't understand that.
