BetoJR, labels or steroetypes are unavoidable there isn't a single person without a stereotype as long as he is part of human socium.
They may be the cause of conflicts but they also help in everyday functions. A lot of stereotypes exist without us even knowing that they are steroetypes and so on.
Labelling and steroetype are a helpful mean to survive in information society and we all have them, some more obvious, some hiden ones but you would not be able to function in society without them. There are quite a few good sociology books regarding this theme. Baudrillard may be too extreme but Gadamer and his direction specialists give a pretty good analysis of it.
Yet the label should only help to find a direction isntead of being a form and purpose. Then we are reaching an extreme but as long as we keep a healthy medium it is fine.
If we are talking about anime then as Kaisos Erranon mentioned a lot of characters are even more simplistic than real life humans. yes there are deep ones but they are constructed artificially thus a stereotype was the first start of it, the basis then the author creates situation to make a character break out of the box. While talking of that character and using a lebell we put it back into a box but thats only for information purposes. A sort of direction giver.
