After having a discussion with several friends this weekend, I found out that my wife and I are not the only one whose reviews are frequently declined for "does not meet our guidelines" when it has to do with disliking a movie due to it's leftist political agenda.
Yes, I have reviewed the guidelines and guarantee there is nothing wrong other than the fact that I'm disliking a movie due to it pushing politics when and where it doesn't belong. For example, I didn't expect the recent Incredibles 2 movie to jam so much feminism down the throats of my children, and therefore I really didn't like the movie.
Moviegoers may not like a movie for a variety of reasons. These are our opinions and our right to do so; we don't all fit into the perfect box that you might think all people should fit in to.
Since the review system allows the staff at IMDb.com to choose the vague "does not meet our guidelines" with absolutely no reason or notification, they are free to censor any content that does not fit their viewpoint, essentially going against everything we as Americans believe in. And it goes both ways; neither side should be censored, and it should be a strong company policy.
Now I doubt my short rant here will have any effect since by nature IMDb needs to support Hollywood, but SJW's censoring opinions (like we see in many news sources) only helps to create a false narrative. When business owners/managers look at feedback/reviews of the past, it helps them make decisions for the future. Nothing good comes from censorship.
