The Movie Database Support

This is a genre being used as a keyword, which is fine for TV shows (since the TV section doesn't have a horror genre) but it shouldnt really be used for movies right (since there is a Horror genre for movies): https://www.themoviedb.org/keyword/315058/movie

Can/should the keyword be removed from all those movie entries? (I guess it's technically possible a small handful of those entries might be using the keyword horror not as a genre but I doubt very many are)...

EDIT: similarly, delete these genre keywords (completely)?

EDIT: similarly, delete this keyword from the movie entries (not the tv entries)?

As indicated in the rules, genres can be set to movies as a keyword in some cases.

I quote : "A genre can, in rare cases, be better suited as a keyword than as a genre. Before adding a genre as a keyword, please make sure it's relevant and that it conforms to our keywords guidelines. No spoilers!"

Consequently, a complete removal is not an option.

what about programming something that removes all entries that have these keywords that also have them as a genre?

and maybe in future, disabling the ability to add these genre keywords to entries that already have them as a genre- new feature? and vice versa disabling the ability to add genres if already added as a keyword.
