How chudrank Scores Work
What the score means
Every film, series, book, album and game on chudrank has a score from 0 to 100. 0 is CHUD (seen as right-wing), 50 is the centre and 100 is WOKE (seen as left-wing). The score is about how a title is seen in the culture war: who champions it, who attacks it and why. It is not a review and says nothing about whether a title is good.
Starting scores
Every title starts from our estimate of that public perception, made with AI from what is widely known about each title and checked by a second AI pass. A starting score counts as a handful of votes, so it moves as soon as people vote. On the blog, a title is marked "starting score" until it has 20 real votes.
The verdicts
0 to 10: Full CHUD. 11 to 35: Leaning CHUD. 36 to 44: Slightly CHUD. 45 to 55: Centre. 56 to 64: Slightly WOKE. 65 to 89: Leaning WOKE. 90 to 100: Full WOKE.
Votes
Anyone can vote: swipe CHUD or WOKE. One vote per title per browser, with limits against floods. We store no IP addresses: we keep only keyed hashes of the IP address and of a random browser ID.
