I do, because I have not really seen anything to counter the statement.
Every CNJ/WHM I have met ICly has been the motherly, healer, tree-hugger type.
Every MRD/WAR has been hulky brawny type.
Every THM/BLM has been the distant seemingly good but still something is off type
Every LNC/DRG has been..... ..... ..... typical drg.
Every GLD/PLD has been the protective knight type
I only met one ARC/BRD so, not much to go off there.
PUG/MNK seems to be the punchy punchy I punch your face because PUNCH type.
I have not met many other ACN's, but like my character they seem to be the smart/nerdy/bookworm type.

If your character breaks any of these patterns I have noticed, great! But I probably have not rped with you O-o

Tarot breaks the tread of the gloomy Lancer type, being more of a rogue anyway. In fact it's why I started this entire thread and discussion was mostly because I wasn't sure if people would believe he could be a 'rogue' without actually having the class.
As for being a non-gloomy lancer, he will play pretend he's gloomy with the right people.

"So we ready to go exploring--oh, wait, I'm a lancer, ah..ahem. 'Let's go'...Heh!"

But the thing is that I do stereotype for all the reasons you said, even going so far as to apply them to people I know personally. Monks/Pugs are the beefy types to be sure, though oddly I've never RPed much with Warriors. All the paladins seem to be the more 'strategic' thinkers if they aren't 'knightly'. Even then I know ONE who is neither but he's a weirdo! WEIRDO!

While you can, gameplay wise, shove rocks into people's faces for a fun bit of reverse-healing their faces off ... none of the Conjurers in the game or in lore tend towards that personality or attitude.  The only close to qualifing is Edda, who was insane and using corrupted white mage as necromancy to heal/revive the long dead.

Emeraven is a Bard, she does like the bow and thinks it a very good style of fighting for her. She would call herself a huntress in that regard. She has always believed that songs have a power, something she was taught from a young age. 

But shes not typical of either class of adventurer. She can be a rather cold and calculating killer with the bow, a equivalent to our world's snipers. She can appreciate nature, she isn't a nature lover, or has any real loyalty to protecting the twelve's wood.

She does sing, and if I can ever get myself to preform with her in RP, you will see she prefers a very different class of song than is the traditional bard fare. She could never feel right in a bards traditional attire and wears a black leather long-coat while out in the hunt.

She is influenced by her class and job, then that is filtered through her own strong personality.

Spahro is a Monk, but I straight up play her as a reporter.  She can't fight at all.  Does that count?
