Targeted review bombing of They/Them (and LGBTQ+ titles in general). Why does IMDB do absolutely nothing to stop bigoted review bombing?

@BdoMcGregor​ You make a lot of great points. I agree and have thought the same regarding the intentions of these bigots. They think by review bombing and attempting to ruin a particular film/show in any way they can that they'll force these companies into stopping production of this type of content. It's the only "power" they have. Because again, they're the only ones allowed to have content made for them. They view diversity as a personal attack. Whatever happened to ignoring something you aren't interested in? You'd think they were being forced to watch the endless list of shows and movies they review bomb. I suppose when you have no life though you have nothing better to do than be hateful. Sad!

Everyone of course has their "side", perspective, and view of the world but I definitely don't see liberal people engaging in these endless review bombings the way the conservative "anti-woke" folks do. Surely a joke of a documentary like What is a Woman wouldn't have an 8.6 on IMDB if liberals review bombed with the same aggressiveness conservatives do, that's why I listed it. I've never seen any film with such a percentage of 10 votes not be impacted by IMDB's weighting system as I mentioned. Again, why are NONE of those votes being filtered out? Very fishy! Clearly, IMDB refuses to answer or even look into it. I've seen other people complain about vote manipulation and IMDB employees replied saying they forwarded the information on to be looked into. Funny no response to or acknowledgment of my post though, total crickets. The silence is deafening. I guess they think if they ignore the issue we'll stop talking about it.

How about banning people who have had their text reviews removed repeatedly for bigotry from being able to rate/review titles? Because the text reviews these days too are FILLED with bigotry too since IMDB is allowing that garbage to fly here. They're spewing it all out in the open. Have they just decided to pander to the bigots now? Is that their target audience? And even when a review is removed, they can just repost it. Restricting use of the site to people who openly espouse bigotry is a no brainer, how is that already not a thing?!? It wouldn't completely solve the problem since you can rate a title without reviewing of course but it would be something, a step. There are lots of things they could try to do. Instead they do nothing. Quite shameful.

Seems like A League of Their Own is the latest target, there's a new example every week now. Reviews already filled with pathetic bigots whining about woke this and woke that. And I could have listed 100s more examples since as I said this has been happening for years now and as a long time user I've been here to witness it all. Sad that because of issues like this, amongst many others, IMDB is willingly choosing to lose credibility in such a major way. I can see why so many have fled to other sites such as Letterboxd. Letterboxd isn't perfect but one thing they do EXCELLENT job at is not allowing bigotry to thrive on their platform. IMDB should be taking notes!

@Tsarstepan​ Have they? I'll have to find that thread because I haven't seen it. They've completely ignored this thread without even as much as a single acknowledgement. In other cases, I've seen them say they'll pass the message along to be looked into (whether any of these "investigations" actually lead to anything who knows, probably not) but nothing here. Maybe I'll have to email them directly for visibility of my message at the very least. I'm happy to see lots of fellow members of the IMDB community agreeing and calling this out with me. The more we bring attention to it, the more likely they'll be forced to do something. LOTS of people are noticing this and are sick and tired of it. IMDB is allowing bigots to completely destroy what once was a great site. @Col_Needham do you have any comment on this?

I'm glad you are pointing out the She-Hulk review bombing, another one to add to the list. I wasn't exaggerating when I said there's a new example every week now. This probably is out of control and impossible to continue ignoring. It's getting worse, not better. Although presumably will do nothing about this example too, just like they've done nothing about They/Them's review bombing despite the fact that we've proven that they were being review bombed prior to public release. How long can nothing continue to be done? Change your weighting system. Ban/restrict users suspecting of review bombing and/or have had their text reviews removed for being bigoted in the past, don't let their votes count towards the totals. Crack down on users with multiple accounts. So many common sense places to start. Do something, anything! And why are 1 votes seeming given more power in this horrific weighting system than 10s considering how big of a problem review bombing is on here? Such a mess. If these bigots see their attempts don't work and/or have the OPPOSITE effect on a score, many of them wouldn't even bother. But IMDB allows their targeted hate campaigns to be successful which only further fuels the problem.
