I find the Keyword sections for "The Directive" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5834278/keywords
and "Down River" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4791276/keywords
to be so completely ridiculous that I can only assume we are pretty much allowed to enter any Keywords we decide to make up for a film, right?

In a first, preliminary audit of the keywords for this title, I submitted over 250 deletions, and NONE of them had anything to do with political correctness. The deletions were duplications, plurals, misspellings, etc. I wish that, instead of just complaining, others would take the time to audit the keywords for this title. Someone who has seen this title, step forward. Be my guest.
P.S. Keywords for this title are a mess.

I audit keywords on all tiles I watch, which is expansive but I can't watch everything.

Actually, I don't "just complain" about it. I have added, corrected and (attempted) to delete Keywords for countless titles. I pointed out these 2 specifically because the abuse is so rampant with them. They are perfect examples of the problems in the Keyword section as a whole on this site.
Believe it or not, Bradley Kent isn't the only person working on Keywords (GASP!!!). Some of us others do what we can as well. But thank you for taking time out of your day to talk down to us.

Thanks, Brett, for working on keywords. I KNEW I wasn't alone! And I didn't mean to "talk down, " but wanted to invite others to come aboard in addressing this problem..
Keywords are not a static, permanent thing. Over the years, I mistakenly thought I had "cleaned up" a keyword problem, only to find that it had been devastated by faulty submissions from other contributors and neglectful acceptances by staffers. Guidelines are there, but they are not always followed.
I have come to accept the fact that keywords are not perfect and consistent, and never will be. But that doesn't keep me from tryin'.

I have no interest in getting at all involved in the appropriateness (political correctness) of Keywords. Nobody will ever agree on some of the phrases used and that is life. But IMDb should at least have a few basic rules that they follow. They don't. The Keyword section was really helpful to me 10 or 15 years ago and now it is a complete joke.
Thank you for your response.
