Spoiling McSpoilersons
 

What do you think about folks who post spoilers for popular tv shows on Facebook or other social media?

Do you feel that there is an etiquette around how long someone should wait before posting a spoiler?

Do you think folks get too pissed off when people post a spoiler?

Have you ever stayed away from social media to keep from seeing a spoiler?

Caveat: Yes, there are bigger things going on in the world than The Walking Dead or American Horror Story. Yes, it is acknowledged that some folks don't even ever watch tv. Yes, this if fluffy. BWEEE!

Thoughts?

I will avoid social media if I don't want to see a spoiler, even when I need to wait days till I have time to to watch my dvr list

I wouldn't say it bothers me as I can just choose to not go on, but I do think you bring up a good point about the etiquette, . The problem being imo people believe they get a free pass because it's online.

I don't like spoilers.

It's kind of like getting close to orgasm and losing it. <<<<< Using some humor :| but kinda like that.

It is so simple to just put "spoiler alert" in the title.

I do either have to avoid TV forums or threads to make sure but sometimes spoilers are posted on threads that you don't expect to see them.

Some blogs will ban you for a bit if you don't put spoiler alerts in the title. I think that is quite excessive but some folks take spoilers even more seriously than I do!

In the scheme of things, it is small potatoes, when our world is so fucked up but these days, my little TV shows are important to me and I like to be surprised when I watch the show myself.

:scarytv:

Not into spoilers. Or McSpoilersons. Nope, not into either one. If one absolutely feels the need to post a spoiler, at the very least a SPOILER ALERT! would be nice.

What do you think about folks who post spoilers for popular tv shows on Facebook or other social media?

I feel that a tarring and feathering might be appropriate.

:blink:

Do you feel that there is an etiquette around how long someone should wait before posting a spoiler?

I do. Given people's busy lifestyles, I'd say feel free to post whatever you want to post one episode (or one week) after the episode in question.

Do you think folks get too pissed off when people post a spoiler?

I do. I get squinchy sometimes but not as freakin' berserk as a lot of people.

Have you ever stayed away from social media to keep from seeing a spoiler?

I generally stay away from social media as a rule, so this isn't a big deal for me.

Thoughts?

Occasionally, but I usually keep them to myself unless I've got a bee in my bonnet about something.

I waited three weeks for all of my friends to get through the most recent OITNB, just suffering in silence over what I knew and couldn't process with anyone

DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD THAT WAS FOR ME??? That character was my bae all the way

To think that there are people out there who would spoil it and render that superhuman sacrifice unnecessary is very distressing

This is serious business

I was really upset because TWD got spoiled for me. It's only been one day! And it was posted somewhere totally unexpected.

I waited all summer to find out what happened. I could have gone to the comic book and found out what happened next, but I _waited_. And now it's all been blown.

I don't watch a lot of TV. When I do, I really want the full experience.

I'm still kinda upset.

With few exceptions (The Sixth Sense, Jean de Florette, A Pure Formality) I like spoilers and sometimes seek them.

I try not to give out spoilers because a lot of people don't like them. Recently, I gave out a spoiler to a sporting event but it wasn't intentional and people understood.

What's interesting is that I have known people who have absolutely refused to give me the spoilers on a film or book. :blink: I don't get that at all.

i say off with their heads! ��

I used to have a girlfriend who needed spoilers on everything she watched before she watched it; specifically, "Does anything bad happen to an animal in it?" If she didn't know, she couldn't watch it. If she started watching a movie and an animal appeared on screen, and she hadn't known there were animals in it, she would get up and walk out before anything upsetting could possibly happen.

Do you turn off Old Yeller before the end so you can pretend that he lived a long and happy life? Did a cute pet on a movie poster make you think it would be a fun comedy but it turned out to be a pet-with-a-terminal-illness tearjerker instead? Are you unable to enjoy the human body count in a horror movie because you're wondering whether the dog's going to kick the bucket? Have you ever Googled "Does the [dog/cat/horse/Klingon targ] die in [movie title]?"

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then welcome - DoestheDogDie.com is here for you!

Sounds like a great site...have to check it out

As for spoilers, am fond of them. A good idea to see if all the "foreplay" of

getting to the flick is worth the result e.g. finding a showing, making bus

reservations, locating a h/motel for the night, taxi to /from lodging, packing

for trip, etc..etc..etc.

Want to see "Snowden" badly, but (at last check) shows >100 miles away.

Don't get 1st run movies in these here parts. Really miss city life!!!

Would love a detailed spoiler!

I'm still kind of peeved.

When the latest Star Wars came out a man came out and shouted THAT MOMENT out so everyone in line for the next showing knew a super critical moment in the film. He got his ass beat down for it, too. lmfao like five people on him, some dressed in character! Spoilers suck y'all...and they can get your self pulverized. lmao...

Be courteous. Pretty simple. You want to talk about something, take a few seconds and write Spoiler Alert. Pretty easy not to be a dick.

I HATE SPOILERS AND MCSPOILERSONS!!!! With a passion. How hard is it to type "spoiler alert"? I avoid posts and threads and social media if I'm afraid something will be spoiled. I even hate teasers and trailers for movies and avoid them. They're basically gigantic spoilers lol.

I want to deplore any violence, buuuuuuuut

DAMN

That's Shitty McShitterson

I don't appreciate spoilers. I want to find out and experience the moment(s) for myself.....was it Carly Simon who sang....Anticipation? Or was that just a ketchup commercial??!!....is makin me wait.......
