I'm assuming the "Christian" one doesn't call you darling though :)

Does it work for roleplaying groups that are too obscure to have stereotypes?

"Here you go my brother in Christ, the recipe for meth. May it be blessed, amen."

Do any such groups exist?

I thought the whole point of role-playing was the trope of the group you're role-playing as (at least in TTRPG games, where dwarves, or rogues, or warriors, or paladins, etc all usually have a trope that defines their existence)

I assumed that the parent comment was talking about IRL groups.

That's what I assumed too, but I don't think there's a huge difference between a role playing group that uses a TTRPG to play their roles and one that just kinda adlibs it — the point of the game is usually to play a role that you normally don't play, which is almost by definition a trope/stereotype.

All that to say that I have the same question as you (what is a non-stereotypical role?)
