The chart is a joke. A lot of the supposed stereotypes aren't bad. At all.
Some of my favorite female characters? Two members of the military in the world they are from, each with their own career in a different branch, with an adopted daughter the two raise. Hurt the daughter, and either will go Mama Bear on anyone daring to hurt the daughter. Bad? No. It's awesome. One of them completely destroying a villain who hurt her daughter is the crowning moment of awesome for the entire series the characters star in. That scene is liked enough to be found multiple times on youtube.
And if she were male? I bet nobody would whine that he'd not be nuanced. My point? Mamabear is not bad. Most of the things listed in the charts aren't.
What is bad if a character is only one thing. But them having moment of trope X or Y? not bad at all. That's just writing. YOu can't evade every trope that exists. It's not possible, unless you write about eleven-legged amoebas from planet Y.
