Then spend the goddamn effort to not get spoiled. Like damn this is exactly why spoilerculture deserves to be ridiculed. People come up with dozens of hypotheticals about how it's unreasonable people talk about things before they take 1 step back and actually do all the easy things to not get spoiled.
I just don't understand how people complain so endlessly about this shit if they are part of a group that wants to maximize their enjoyment by not knowing anything and yet do nothing to actually maximize that outside of complaining about others.
Maybe I am a superhuman with the superpower to avoid spoilers in that case I truly apologize for my ignorance and having unrealistic standards.
But here are a few more things I've never been spoiled on that I probably plan to watch/get to at some point: The Wire, Stranger Things, West World,The Sopranos, Metal Gear, FF12, Detective Pikachu(I just skipped that discussion in the waypoint episode woaw), Shazam, etc etc etc the list goes on with examples of varying popularity and zeitgeist mind share. I didn't get spoiled on Game of Thrones Season 7 which I completely skipped until basically the week before Season 8.
I don't understand how I am apparently part of some weird outlier group that somehow finds no issue avoiding spoilers while others paint this reality of spoiler dodging being equivalent to real life parkour. Again if your job is in media I'm A LOT more empathetic to that but the average joe that doesn't have a professional reason why they can't check out of the online discourse has no goddamn excuse to be this whiney. Also I am on the internet A LOT but I know it may sound surprising but stack exchange post don't contain hidden unexpected spoilers for the new hot thing out of nowhere.(Basically my point here is that between getting off the internet entirely and just navigating like a smart person that actually cares there is GIGANTIC playroom between the two).
------------
To add though I have nothing against and support disclaimers like Cado did for podcast. And I also totally support people that want to have spoiler free discussion by actually making these type of threads for themselves. Like make the "FF7R E3 no unmarked spoiler thread" I respect that 100% but don't go into a FF7R thread and expect that rule to be the norm. But yes if someone is a jackass to the extent of purposely entering those threads and does spoil maliciously of course that's kinda shit and not acceptable.
