Because I belive every sterotype, lie, bias, hate and whatever is on the internet, can spread out of the internet into real world, and at the end you will see people judging you based on your type even outside, which is why I consider those problematic.

Think about the amount of people in the world who know about MBTI. Then, reduce that number by thinking about the amount of those people who would explore MBTI enough to participate in a forum like MBTI database. From there, reduce that number further by thinking about the amount of people who know better than to judge an entire type off a couple of articles they read on the Internet.

What is the actual likelihood that any of these people are ever going to encounter you? Furthermore, what is the likelihood that when they encounter you, they'll recognise your type? I don't think those stereotypes are going to affect your life as much as you seem to believe. And like I said, if someone does base their opinion solely off a bunch of negative stereotypes, then they're probably a dumbass and you're better off steering clear anywhere.

I share the same frustration about biased discriptions on any type, not just mine. I also hate when I see people letting their personal dislike about a specific person influence the discriptions they write about a specific type. And specially when people foccus more on the behavior istead of the theoretical principles of the functions. Because the "type" is a model, not a real person.
And I try my best to clear some misconceptions I read when I can, for the same reason you described. But this is a tricky thing. We are concerned about this information spreading to the "real world", but the thing is.... the people that write these things, are already part of the real world. Don't forget the internet is not that "unreal", and the people that write those things are real people.
The internet can be a "good" oportunity to see more clearly the things that a lot of people have inside their minds... people that walk beside you on the street.

I created a thread called "Break Stupid Stereotypes" for people to point the stereotype and explain why they think is wrong. I think this is a good way to compile stereotypes and clarify why they are wrong. This way people can understand better what the functions are NOT.

But I am aware that someone who is not interested in good information will not click on these threads.

Sometimes I wish I had the clean&clear ENTP thinking LOL

Looking at the MBTI database, INFP's and ISFP's have shit tons of really offensive and negative stereotypes that I simply cant count with my hands. I can't recall other types getting such massive amount of negative stereotypes, some dont even get any negative stereotypes completely.

I haven't been here long enough to say but my experience is the ESFJ actually gets the most hate and stereotypes attached. that comes from other typology communities :/

Yes. SJs in general get the hate.
