10	So Bad, It's Horrible are the works with the lowest writing quality of all: those which gain no genuine audience whatsoever. Trying to give them a quality rating is like trying to measure the depth of a black hole: It has none.
11
12	Or anyhow, that's how all people who read/watch/play/etc. the work have perceived it as. The work is absolutely terrible, and not just because of [[UnfortunateImplications unfortunate]] or otherwise offensive content, or even having a message you don't agree with. No [[CondemnedByHistory past]] or [[VindicatedByHistory present]] positive opinions can be found about the work, nor does it contain GuiltyPleasures or anything SoBadItsGood. It's hated globally, not just in [[AmericansHateTingle local or foreign markets]].
13
14	Such works can be recognized by the following:
15	* The work as a whole is truly terrible by the standard of the medium involved, with a low quality in all aspects of work creation: storytelling, drawing, writing, and so on.
16	* The work has a small audience, and if it's produced for profit it has [[BoxOfficeBomb poor sales]].
17	* The work has been panned by multiple critics for its low quality. The work's flaws may be parodied by a number of other works, and in some cases the work may even become a pop culture-level SnarkBait.
18	* If a work deals with controversial subject matter such as politics or religion, it received criticism [[DontShootTheMessage even from people who'd otherwise agree with the views presented]].
19
20	Reality, of course, has its share of examples too. (See DarthWiki/IdiotProgramming, DarthWiki/IdiotDesign, and the Real Life folders of CrappyCarnival and [[TheAllegedCar/RealLife The Alleged Car]].) Popular works, [[StylisticSuck deliberately badly-done works]], and [[DarthWiki/DethroningMomentOfSuck individual episodes and chapters]] don't belong here. Also avoid making this an outlet for Administrivia/ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike; just because ''you'' think something sucks doesn't necessarily mean it fulfills any of the above criteria.
21
22	If the creator joins in hazing the work, CreatorBacklash ensues.
23
24	'''NOTE:''' There are a few guidelines that all newcomers should know before posting any examples here, so please read carefully. Remember, ignorance of the rules is no excuse.
25	# Given the controversial nature of this trope, it is strongly encouraged to filter new examples through the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15574101790A64005900 cleanup thread]] before posting them.
26	# All examples must be at least a month old before posting so that the works can be properly judged, to prevent knee-jerk reactions from happening, and to make sure no fixes or improvements are coming, so Administrivia/NoRecentExamplesPlease
27	# Simply being offensive or being a MoralSubstitute are not enough to qualify as examples. Proper examples [[DontShootTheMessage cannot even appeal to their target audience]], not just from a PeripheryHatedom [[Administrivia/ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike complaining about a work's offensiveness or message]].
28	# Non-commercial amateur works such as FanFiction, {{Game Mod}}s, or musicians who aren't selling their songs are disqualified, since [[SturgeonsLaw there's so much of it that it's just not worth bringing them up]], [[ComplainingAboutThingsYouHaventPaidFor the standard for quality is much lower for such works]], and in the case of fan fiction, they run afoul of Administrivia/TheContentPolicy due to rampant NSFW content. Anything that's being sold or is otherwise meant to earn real money (such as advertisements or mobile games with in-game ads) is fair game.
