A few more subjective keywords that should be blocked
Here are a few more subjective keywords that should be blocked per IMDb's keyword guidelines.
bad (20 titles)
bad-movie (30 titles)
terrible (6 titles)
awful (3 titles)
good (19 titles)
* scary (0 titles)
scary-movie (3 titles)
very-scary-movie (1 title)
** cute (256 titles)
** vibrant (109 titles)
** casual (99 titles)
______
* The word "scary" was recently unblocked as a prefix for all keywords. While I support that change, I also think the specific keyword "scary" (when used by itself, not as a prefix) should be blocked, because it is inherently subjective. More details explained here in this post by @adrian.
** The subjective keywords "cute," "vibrant," and "casual" have been excessively overused by a certain video game maker to promote their video games. In fact, 115 of 116 instances of the keyword "vibrant," as well as all 99 instances of the keyword "casual," are for these video games. And in addition to its abuse for promoting video games, the keyword "cute" is similar to "beauty" and "beautiful," which were blocked long ago as subjective keywords.
