Community bias

A community bias is a cognitive tendency to think in a certain way that can lead to systematic deviations from a standard of rationality or good judgment by giving disproportionate weight and importance to your own community and related extremely specific issues not looking at the big picture, other communities, people or other issues that are not related to your own community.

Communities can be territorial or social or related to an extremely specific issue: i.e. parochial communities, same industry workers communities, trade unions communities, generational communities (young and old people), et cetera

Community bias can lead to very serious conflicts of interest between not-aligned communities.

"It's incredible! The steel industry workers' trade union obtained significant wage increases in recent years, while we have not achieved anything, no wage increases, no more benefits!"

"Give up this useless community bias! Our bank salary is three times that of the workers of steel industry!"

GOT Bias

Concerned with the feeling that something is great just because your previous encounter was spectacular. For example, Game of Thrones season 1-7 were great and so you feel the same way about season 8 and yet it is underwhelming at best. Hence the GOT Bias

John is reeling from GOT bias. The sequel was useless

Shameful bias

When the Editors of Urban Dictionary quickly publish a word (binders of women) that makes Mitt Romney look unfavorable but choose not to publish one that President Obama actually said. (not optimal)

Urban Dictionary would not publish my word because it made a democrat look bad but published a word that made a republican look bad just two earlier. What Shameful Bias
