    My man, If you need your tastes to be affirmed by some magical numbers, then I don’t know what to tell you.

      It’s not about affirmation, it’s about feeling connected to some parts or the human race. Mostly people who are simular to ourselves. When you meet your friends, you probably discuss things you all like. Its universal.

      We feel what we feel and we look for others to feel the same. Not affirm it, but to not feel alone in our feelings.

        As much as I understand what you say, this is not one of those things for me. I just don’t care what other people like or don’t like. I am going to form my own opinion based on my own experience and information. I also don’t look at these ratings at all.

          Fair enough. Have you found that the rating is wildly inaccurate when you view a rated movie?

          I dont like almost any movie now these days but that’s because I think they are so silly, and that’s because I’m 50 years old. Movies are made for teenagers, so I’m not the right group.

        It’s both. The old motherly advice “if your friends jumped off a bridge would you too?” still applies. Everything is intertwined.

          Well yeah, I dont do anything my friends say. We often have different opinions about things too. But its how you deal with that. Some people fight over different opinions (common on Lemmy). Others have their own opinion without needing others to agree, and still remain friends anyway.
