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!"

Adaptation bias

When a person has biased feelings (often negative) of a adaption since they have seen the source material first and notice that the change is much clearer to them. Often times one feels this way after giving said adaptation a chance.
Person 1: With the Watchmen movie, I didn't really like it; there were many changes that weren't needed."

Person 2: Looks like you have adaptation bias, don't worry; I'm the same way with the Percy Jackson movies
