I personally prefer they/them or he/they so it's not like I'm completely confused by choosing your own pronouns,,,,,, but xe/ze does just feel kinda pointless to me. "They/them" is perfectly fine and doesn't make you sound like an alien, but idk maybe I'm missing something

I guess this is a PCA plot. Most people commenting clearly aren't familiar with the concept and therefore don't understand the plot. It's not the plot's fault, it's a perfectly good plot, and these plots have no meaningful units etc. Maybe a link to the wikipedia article about PCA would have helped those without a scientific background, which is unfortunately most of the world.

For people curious about a missing movie, you can see how many users have selected it by going to the page for the movie on the website and looking on the right side above the bar graph of the ratings.

You'll see here that Terminator 2 has 8.1k "fans", which are people that have chosen it. It's hard to tell how many users overall you'd need to make it onto one of these lists, but the movie with the fewest, The Worst Person in the World (ranked 100 on She), has 11k total fans.
