When you run for office in a Democratic system, lose the vote, declare yourself the winner anyway and accuse everyone else of being the ones in denial.
"Before the election was called, I had a pretty good feeling about it, so I preemptively declare victory and anointed myself an Anarcho-Monarch of Ottowa. Then to my shock and also not shock at all, the elites appointed their own puppet-leader instead, Zed Shabibe. Or something, I dunno, I wasn't paying attention. I'm calling upon my supporters to not recognize the legitimacy of these so-called 'elected officials' unless it's ever me."

A genre of film (often exploitation) that focuses on revisionist depictions of the samurai. Usually involves moral grayness, revenge-driven antihero protagonists, nudity, sex scenes, swordplay, and blood.
Whereas westerns focuses on cowboys and indians and swashbucklers are about pirates, chambara films focus on samurai.

When the opinions of your work of art by the educated few and the general public are wildly different from one another, leaving you unsure on which you should treat as important or relevant.
Ah yes, the ole' Rotten Tomatoes Dilemma; do you listen to the critics who know what they're talking about who what you to stimulate them intellectually, or the audience who come en masse to make an emotional connection with what you've made? Which one truly matters? Which one should you take seriously? Who's opinion effects future exhibitions? Do either of them even matter?

When you aren't sure if you should listen to the criticisms and opinions of the professional few (critics, analysts and your teachers) or the unprofessional many (fans, peers and the general public).
The ole' Rotten Tomatoes Dilemma: should I listen to the critics who know what they're talking about and have learned advice, or the crowd of people that like what I've made warts and all?

A subgenre of exploitation film that focuses overtly on Christian themes and seeks to relay a religious agenda in favor of Christianity (sometimes even a specific denomination there-of) to the point of being propaganda. Films usually involve themes of patriotism, traditionalism, conservative values, depictions of Christians as an oppressed minority class, non-Christians portrayed as either non-existent or morally bankrupt, insane troll logic used to justify the protagonists, etc.
With the boom of Pure Flix and Kirk Cameron films like "God's Not Dead", "Old Fashioned" and "Fireproof", we are facing a new wave of mainstream Christploitation cinema.

A person who has fully committed themselves to the goth subculture and the lifestyle that it entails: leather, buckles, piercings, decorative contact lenses and all. Unlike passive goths, active goths can be identified as goth on-sight.
The elusive active goth can be found at your local Hot Topic. Here we see them walking with a black parasol in their victorian/steampunk casual-wear, petting their plastic ravens and black cats as they go on about the blight of inevitable death and "the man" before they congregate by the hundreds to express their individuality to their goth brethren.

The border that distinguishes whether or not the high difficulty of a video game makes the game "challenging but rewarding" or "frustrating and unrewarding."
"Finally, after much frustration and about 900 attempts, I've gotten the core on the ropes and I'm moments from landing the final blow, whereupon I glitch through the floor and fall to my death. No. That's too much. That's gone right over the Tropic of Fuckabout on a jet-ski full of dicks. I'm done. Fuck The Surge, fuck Deck13, fuck anyone who likes it. Blimey, that's filled my schedule out for the week."
