I don't understand why people are so vehemently against being spoiled for something that happened years ago.

Not everyone experiences media in the same way. For some people being spoiled ruins the whole thing.

And if you think that makes someone an asshole

I never said that and I don't really appreciate the assumption. I do think it makes you lazy, but not an asshole unless you do it on purpose.

(In case it isn't clear, I'm none of the anons in this thread, have never seen this show and don't really care about it. I'm just sick of people getting really upset about having to make almost no effort in order to display what is imo basic courtesy. And I've been burned by both negligent and malicious spoilers before, and it fucking sucks.)

If being spoiled for a twist (or one event in a series) ruins the whole thing for you, I can't imagine you were super interested in the thing to begin with.

And do people really get upset because people complaining about spoilers? Because I'm not upset. I'm a little annoyed at the whole culture and a little amused.

How do you know that? How do you know how someone else enjoys and processes media, and how interested they are and why, and what will make them not interested? I find it incredibly presumptuous to try to make this judgment call for anyone else.

And do people really get upset because people complaining about spoilers?

Yes. It's a long-going argument with people upset on both sides. I still don't understand why because it is again an almost unquantifiably tiny sacrifice to make as a huge courtesy to everyone else on the comm.

I'm a little annoyed at the whole culture and a little amused.

...culture? It's basic courtesy. And it's not like people, such as myself, who grump about people not tagging things are going around with our entire fandom experience saturated by this discussion. What a weird word to use for this argument.

Dude, that whole article is basically saying "you should enjoy media the way I want you to because I said so". Ugh. I hate that shit.

Could the knowledge that Walter is marked for death “ruin” Breaking Bad for someone? It could, but only if you value plot above everything else—to pretend otherwise is anti-criticism.

Some people DO value plot above everyone else and screw this author for implying that's not okay. Everyone has different things they like about media.

Seriously, the whole "spoilers don't matter because if you don't like spoilers you're doing media wrong" is so elitist.

And calling it a "culture" is pretty inane in my opinion.
