Imagine believing there's anything just about imprisoning someone over fucking video game clips. IP law is such flagrant violence and so fucking counterethical to the natural act of creation.

Remember that if you think ideas and images can be owned, you agree that violations of that ownership deserve the full violence of imperial carcecal systems.

Marking art of Rauru TOTK as a spoiler is basically the same as this.

It continues to be very funny that people are worried about spoilers for palaeo documentaries. Like one, it's a documentary and two: ALL OF THEM ARE DEAD.

I can't find it now but a post popped up on my dash under the recommended tab about spoiler culture and the argument was it's the MCU's fault that it exists, while there were people quite rightly pointing out that it didn't start with the MCU. Spoiler debates have existed for ages and YMMV on how much you want to be spoiled or what you think people should do to not spoil others. BUT one thing where I do agree there's MCU rot is when we got to this really unfathomably stupid situation where actors weren't given full scripts, didn't know who they were acting with or if they did know their scene mates, they didn't know the full context of the scene. It was one thing to airbrush characters our of a trailer but to give actors one side of a conversation and expect them to do something with it? Nah.

The reason I am always exasperated with this is that there are days, such as today, where behind the scenes images from the final scene of The Avengers crosses my dash and it's always fascinating.

BECAUSE here were the OG6 and Loki cutting about Central Park in broad daylight and we have all these wonderful images, plus I have seen some lovely stories from fans who got to interact with the whole spectacle in some way.

Nobody gave a shit that you knew that for some reason those seven characters were in Central Park. Bring back that sort of set up to be honest. All this "we're not even telling you if a character will even be in this" stuff is getting old. For example: I am fed up of seeing (mostly younger) Loki fans getting themselves all excited and wound up because they think he'll be in Avengers 5/6 in a big way. Marvel, just admit any plans that he is/isn't, stop allowing these people to crash down the highway of inevitable disappointment. We're done with it.

#Marvel Cinematic Universe #Spoiler Culture #Loki #Remember how for a brief moment we thought there wasn't much Loki in the IW trailer for a cool reason? #Everyone thought it was because he was playing a double agent role #And then the film got nearer and there was no merch #Not even any leaked merch #And it became obvious they were going to do the most boring thing ever to Loki #AND THEY DID #The Avengers

Hi. If you don't mind, I would like ask for advice.I have a bit of a problem. I'm new in TF fandom , I got into it few months ago. It was because I wanted try out new things from this francise,my experience until then was TF Rescue bots and Bay movies. I first started with TFP because I heard that it was really good and it was.But then I unintentionally got spoiled the ending and I half of the excitment left me because of it. Don't get me wrong, I love it,all of the cast has great design and personality. But I feel like I can get fully into it after I watched it to the end. I tried to rewatch it few times after it but I can't get trought first few episodes! I'm now watching other tf things like tfa and MTMTE comic,and while I like it,I don't feel my heart in it as much as I would like to.It frustrates me to no end,because I want to be part of this fandom,but with spoilers to everything everywhere I feel like I can't. I considered to take break from it,but I'm afraid that I never will come back to it if I do.Since you are long time fan, I assumed that it would be wise to ask your opinion on this.

If you want to read/watch something that's going to be mostly spoiler free in online discussions, I'd recommend jumping in on the ongoing Skybound comics and the Earthspark tv show. As they're actively coming out right now, so there's just less spoilers floating around.

I'm not really sure what other advice I can give to be honest... as spoilers, especially for things that have been out for years, have generally never really bothered me.

There is the exception when someone actively decides to spoil something for me that isn't yet internationally available (as happened with Earthspark for me), eg. someone decided to tell me directly about it without me asking. It was very annoying but didn't really affect my enjoyment of the show. But accidentially reading something on Tumblr... well that's just the cost of being active on the internet unfortunately, especially for a franchise that has been around for decades.

You can filter / block tags on Tumblr like #transformersspoilers but that depends on people tagging things properly.

Honestly spoilers aren't the most important thing... often I find I enjoy things a lot more on a second viewing as you notice all the little foreshadowing etc. or details you missed the first time. And if you know a twist is coming but don't know the exact details it can be interesting figuring out how an author/writer is going to do it.

Sorry none of that is all that useful... but I'm not sure what else I can suggest.

I really don’t mind spoilers in media, because:

1. It’s less stressful for me if I know how things turn out, and I can actually enjoy the journey.

and, most importantly,

2. If a piece of media is well-made, then it will be just as impactful knowing the spoiler as being surprised.

“Spoilers for the Song of Achilles” gang the Iliad has been around for at LEAST 2.8 THOUSAND YEARS. The end is the same it’s always been. Learn to find meaning in how a story is told instead of what is in the story. Kill spoiler culture. Kiss a tranny

Y’all are too sensitive about spoilers.  Back in my day we either assumed they were fake and ignored them, or forgot about them within 2 seconds because we didn’t care.

What was I posting about again?

I never understood why people hate spoilers so much because like. Who cares about the big twists? Obviously they're fun but if you're enjoying the story itself, then why do you feel like it's ruined by knowing something that happens? Why do you feel like the journey is ruined just because you know one of the destinations?

I don't mind spoilers. I know a huge number of spoilers for things I'm watching and reading (I know a lot of The Owl House's reveals even if I'm not caught up and I already have the "Portgas D. Ace" tag open on ao3 as preparation for when I get to Marineford) and I still enjoy experiencing the things that happen leading up to those spoilers.

And I do actively seek out spoilers for some things, like checking to see if something ends in a way that won't activately upset me or making sure that a scene isn't triggering (and looking up a breakdown of that scene so that I can skip it), and it's helped me so much with avoiding things that I'm not going to end up enjoying. Sometimes I've stopped watching things because I've been spoiled for them and I'm infinitely grateful because the alternative would've been just being miserable with what ends up happening.

I guess what I'm saying is just. Chill about spoilers. Enjoy the journey. Take in the scenery. Appreciate the work that goes into a story and not just the big things and the plot twists. Avoid spoilers if you want but remember that they're not the end of the world and they can only ruin things for you if you let them.

idk how people get spoiled. i’ve watched like 5 homestuck deep dives and i still dont know what the fuck happens. i’ve been on the internet for years and seen all sorts of portal memes and goofs and i cant even tell you what the borderline summary is. ive watched analysis videos of movies and then immediately watched it and i still am in suspense. like wtf are you people doin! how do you guys log onto reddit once and have movies ruined for you!!

#spoiler culture #i rlly dont care about spoilers tbh #liek a movie for me isnt good bc i didnt know what tf was happening #a movie is good bc its directed by edgar wright #mine #movies

I hate the obession with spoilers and spoiler culture in general. Actors arent able to actually act because they arent being told whats happening in the scene or the overall movie. Studios think that spoilers and twists are what make films and TV great and what keeps people coming back to a show or film. But like movies, TV, and even theatre is a collaborative effort. How does the cast and crew really know what to bring to a piece if only the writer and maybe the producer know whats going on?

Also theres a reason why stories like Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet have stuck around for so long. Even if the ending of those plays are known audiences go to see how the theatre company will approach the characters, the location, and the overall story. Hell some people just go to see how Romeo and Juliet would play in the 1930s. How Hamlet would play in modern silicon valley.

And even in things like TV and Film where a story may never change knowing what happens doesnt deter peoples enjoyment. I've rewatched Golden Girls almost every year I've been alive. There used to a meme on the internet that people wouldnt watch new things and would just rebinge the Office. I have a friend that plays all 13 seasons of Bobs Burgers on loop. My bestfriend has some of his favorite films practically memorized.

My point is that if something is worth watching it doesnt need to relay on spoiler warnings. Are there some shows and movies that are maybe better with a twist or maybe audiences can only sit through once? Sure. But not every piece of media should be approached in the one and done mentality.

Not to mention there are going to be kids who will be born after your film/TV show or whatever is made. If them growing up knowing the spoilers inherently ruins your art then maybe its just isnt that good of a story.

All I am saying is that stories stay alive, even stories with genuinely could twists like the silent film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, because the cast and crew were able to really put their all into and make it a collaborative piece that hit with audiences. Stories stay around because people love the costumes, the acting, the set pieces, the story, the characters, everything. Sometimes stories stay around for the twist and thats fine.

But not every piece of media nowadays doesnt need to be produced like if the audience even knows a smidge of the plot it will wreck the entire production.

Stop treating audiences like rival studios trying to steal your trade secrets and start treating them with the respect of a loyal viewer or a paying customer.

The butler did it: Why the binge model of streaming needs to end

So because there are people out there who have no life, are willing to spend 8 hours at a stretch watching TV, and just don’t think about other people, I just had the ending of Wednesday spoiled for me. 

The binge “all at once” model of streaming needs to be killed with burning phosphorus.

It’s no one here on Tumblr - it was a headline on a Youtube video that came up as a recommendation when I went to YouTube to look for something totally unrelated (Jenna Coleman). I was not looking for it, nor was I calling up any reviews or anything where you’d expect a spoiler. The headline literally said “The Butler did it” (well, the Wednesday equivalent). It was something like “Wednesday’s big XXXXX twist and XXXX reveal explained” (because people are too stupid to work it out for themselves).

I mean, really, why should I bloody bother watching the 6 episodes I haven’t had a chance to see yet because a) I work, b) I’ve been fighting something approaching a migraine for the last 2 weeks that makes it tough to watch TV (or work on a computer) for long stretches, c) I know it could be 2025 before they get around to a second season of this show, assuming it gets renewed so I don’t want to barrel through it all in a short burst.

I will still watch them because I like Jenna Ortega and I like the show. I’m just pissed off right now. Makes me wonder why I bother doing things like spoiler spaces and dance around things and play by “no spoilers” rules on websites and Discords I belong to.

It is totally unfair for people who binge an entire season to then go on and blab about it like a schoolyard gossip. Review and discuss it all you like in private and spoil all you like if you’re going to write something or do a video by all means - just don’t put the damn spoiler in the title or headline 2 days after the thing comes out, OK?
