10/10. I didn't know we had a page for this, and as I read through it, I realize that I have thought the same thing about many of these examples.

5/10 - Lower mainly due to its definition distortion, as it's a YMMV reaction for games only despite also being used for movies too (Complaining is also commonplace). Nonetheless, it can get somewhat irritating that a game gets a lower or higher score than it deserves.

7/10 can be especially funny to see adult jokes in kids' media since I'm not expecting it. Can be shocking sometimes, though.

6/10 Talk about unlucky.
The Mask Does Not Laugh
5/10 My (generally neutral) opinions on it soured because of two things: 1. I can only get scared by a small selection of things and 2. people keep shoehorning NF examples because they think it somehow makes a piece of media look more "mature", which makes everyone else think we're a bunch of wusses. The Public Service Announcement page and its subpages are really good reads though
4/10, I'm not entirely opposed to sad works, in fact, some of the things I like (Breaking Bad, 1984, The Binding of Isaac) is pretty depressing. I just have a rather limited tolerance for it.

10/10. When a work manages to turn a constant annoyance into a memorable character, it is truly a sight to behold, and requires some amazing writing skill.
Fair for Its Day You keep using the term "POV". I do not think it means what you think it means.

7/10 I honestly don't mind works that would be considered offensive now, as long as they're good.

8/10 It's pretty amusing ngl.

6/10, but for really specific reasons. Entries are very strictly guarded by the cleanup thread, and I shudder to think about the amount of misuse it had to warrant such heavy watch.
The Scarlet Witch
1/10. If it's a character I hated before, it makes me despise them even more.

Always an interesting read on how different people view characters differently.
Too Bleak, Stopped Caring Victor of HGS S320 | "There's rosemary, that's for remembrance. Pray you, love, remember."
7/10 It's bad when a work falls under this category, but at the same time, I'm glad that this page exists and that there are so many examples, because I felt this way about many of the novels we had to read in school. It's reassuring to know that it's common for people to stop caring when a work is too bleak.

Sets a bad example for how to cope with trauma.

10/10 if the intended definition is referred to. Who doesn't love a charming, competent, diabolical villain? Misuse, however, can go right ahead and get marked with a -1/10.
You keep using the term "POV". I do not think it means what you think it means.9/10, What can I say? I'm a sucker for bad acting/writing, even if it can ruin otherwise good moments.

7/10, Would be nice to see some annoying character kicked around, but there is such a thing as too far.

Lord Something, Forgetter of Cool Titles
3/10 I'll be honest and say that the page has always been less of Audience Reactions and more of personal observations made by users annoyed by the writing of some characters. Much like Fridge Logic it may help to give a better understanding of a movie and sometimes the entry is perfectly reasonable, but many times it invites Justifying Edits from people disagreeing with the examples for any, also potentially plausible reasons.
