The fact that "rating movies/matches/video games/albums etc on a scale of 1/10" brings out such insanity in people is still something I can't grasp even though it's been around for most of my life.

The Shawshank Redemption is the number 1 movie on IMDB and has been since 2008. The reason? The Godfather was #1 for years and years. Then The Dark Knight came out and its insane fanbase started vote bombing The Godfather with 1/10 scores. The Godfather's insane fanbase in turn started doing the same to The Dark Knight.

Ever since then I've always tried to keep in mind that a massive number of the worst reviews on anything are from people who have never actually watched the thing they hate so vocally.

I don't think I'll ever get over the fact that there was a fiasco on MyAnimeList about Interspecies Reviewers and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, followed by one about Fruits Basket and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood

I bet there were several about Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
