But that is stereotyping. For example (this is fictional example, can't think better one without possibility to someone calling me racist, which I'm not), I know 20 wrestlers, and I think them all idiots. If I meet another wrestler, I'm thinking that he is idiot too basing my earlier experience, dependless on his actual personality, as I can't believe that there would come any wreslter who isn't idiot from current population.
My example has same baseline as this depate, and thus I call both of them stereotyping.
@Sib
I totally agree with you. Another example to add your list: BG series and Fallouts.
@Fable
You have a point there, but then we come to the question, how we determine the quality? Is something terrible because certain people claims so, or if we study the phenomeon several years after? Should we take into account the support is has got? Also, if something, in this case movie, has very large fan support, can it still be terrible, as there are lots of people who liked it?
