Honestly, less than 7 on IMDB is bad.

Most average things fall between 7-8, 8+ is really good, 6 and lower is bad. So the colours actually do lineup with the score imo.

5 absolutely doesn’t mean average on IMDB. If something gets a 5 then it’s absolute dogshit.

Not necessarily, context is pretty key on IMDb. There are plenty of shows and movies that get review bombed, especially if they're tackling a controversial subject. And nowadays, if anything has even the slightest hint of either being "woke" or alrernatively making fun of "woke" subjects, either side will come in and drop a ton of 1's, dropping the rating significantly. This happens with videogames all the time, too. The most famous example being Last of Us 2, where the game itself was really quite good (e.g. gameplay, design, pacing, etc), but because it included a trans character and a certain event at the beginning with a key character, the internet went rabid and bombed the shit out of the game at launch.

Imdb ratings mostly range between 5-10, and 6-8 range usually has the most difference within it. Even with 'controversial' items that seems true. Not to mention Simpsons isn't that controversial of a thing

Are you aware of the concept of subjectivity?

Well then let’s throw this entire post out of the window and not talk about it at all, if we’re taking the EvErYtHiNgS SuBjEcTiVe approach

Sounds great. It's a stupid post.
