In Hollywood All Guys Want Cheerleaders... until they actually get to know them. In any High School setting, no Stock Character is portrayed as harshly as the cheerleader. Cheerleaders are often depicted as outright evil, with the Alpha Bitch as their leader. If the girls aren't evil they might just be Brainless Beauties, following their Alpha Bitch leader out of ignorance or a desire to be approved by her. The Captain, if not the whole squad, will usually portrayed as Really Gets Around. From evil to slutty to dumb, any cheer leader in western media can be expected to be portrayed as shallow and superficial because popularity is her first and only concern.
