The visual storytelling, akin to theater and visual arts, particularly caricature, has developed stereotypes that signal the intended type to the viewer through specific visual characteristics, akin to a "recognition costume." While these stereotypes are confirmed within the context of the narrative, they are primarily understood through their constant repetition and use as patterns in numerous works, indicating the role being "played." However, stereotypes are often mixed with prejudices (both positive and negative), simplified clichés, deliberate insults, and derogation, alongside "neutral" depictions. For instance, labeling a character as "Jewish" in comics is highly problematic because the recognisable stereotype is constructed for the explicit purpose of derogation, originating from antisemitic attitudes and intended for antisemitic propaganda. This negative characterisation has persisted for centuries. It continues to influence perceptions, even when the narrative content is not aimed at antisemitic propaganda. Selected examples will illustrate this issue.
