  • You are actually a little bit incorrect.

    In the vein of words like homophobia, these words’ definitions are not strictly in line with their etymology. Per every dictionary (but quoting Webster), transphobia is defined as:

    irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against transgender people

    And this might create some linguistic ambiguity, but I cannot seem to find actual documentation on a medical or psychological fear of transgender people at all. It seems this behavior is entirely (or almost entirely) a learned bigotry.

    The other word, “transmisia”, has not really been officially adopted in any circle I can find. The only place I could find it with any prominance is a site called the “Trans Language Primer”, and I know nothing about it (except that it looks like geocities) so I won’t be linking it directly. Suffice to say, they speak negatively of the term (despite defending it as having a good intention) and favor “transphobia” for reasons of clarity.

    Silent Hill sits at 32%. I’ve watched it tons of times. I understand why it’s not popular, in terms of its mediocre raw quality. But I love it unironically and not in an Evil Dead 2 kind of way.

    Half the issue with finding movies <50% that I liked is how hard it is to just get a list of movies by year… and yeah, the year range. The Toy is only 3% and I LOVED it growing up, but yeah it breaks the post-2000 rule.

    Actually, hell. I apparently only have to jump into superhero movies. I thought Black Adam was the best DC movie we’ve had… sub-50. I liked Quantumania…sub-50. I enjoyed Shazam 2… sub-50. I REALLY liked Eternals… sub-50. Venom is sub-50 and has an honorary place in my family’s marvel marathons… Boy, this is easier than I thought! I must have a terrible sense of taste!

    Still going just on recent “rotten”. I liked Gray Man… Sub-50. Suicide Squad…they gave it 26%???

    Yeah, I’m out :)… And I think ya’ll drank my beer.
