Graders have to be mindful to not let their own biases impact their grading. That's why we have rubrics.

This happened to me once, under much different circumstances.

I was taking a class called "Geography goes to the movies." It was an upper level geog class where we would watch a movie and then write an essay about the themes of geography present. I made the mistake of saying in one that I didn't like the premise of the film and the professor ripped me to shreds on the grade. After that I made sure each paper mentioned how much I enjoyed the movie and things went much better.
