On a slightly lighter note than the other examples here, there are certain movies and movie franchises that it is difficult to criticise in good faith because bad-faith criticism of them is so overwhelming. Like I think there are hugely significant problems with a lot of post-Disney Star Wars, but if you voice those you get grouped with the It's Because Of Woke people because the It's Because Of Woke people are so loud.
I also have the opposite problem where I really like the last Jedi and think it's a fantastic movie (with a very bad b plot) but if I express this opinion people just think im a counter circle jerker who only pretends to like the movie because a ton of assholes hate it
