Hellboy wrongly has the "found footage horror" subgenre and there's no way to remove it as it's not listed among the subgenre keywords
Hello, I've just realized that "Hellboy: The Crooked Man" has the "found footage horror" subgenre listed in error, and when I went to edit the sungenre keywords and remove it, thinking someone added it by mistake, it's nowhere to be seen among the keywords, there's no way to submit an edit to remove it. What's happening?
And by the way, I've seen other related issues, like found footage movies that have the "found footage horror" subgenre keyword added, but it's not displayed on their profile as a subgenre.
I think there's an overall general bug related to displaying subgeneres on IMDb.
Later edit: The Hellboy error was fixed. About the other issue, looks like IMDb introduced new rules, some subgeneres are only displayed if their parent genre is listed: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/interests/G4Q8HQTQJ6YZ7H7B#foundfootagehorror
