I will never understand two things:

1) why people insist it's such an inconvenience and so difficult to put a friendly spoiler tag ahead of spoilers

2) why people interpret it as a personal inconvenience rather than a friendly courtesy to other fans. Like, so resistant to being considerate to others by doing something that's so minimal effort.

I personally don't feel it's an inconvenience to tag spoilers, but for such older fandoms, how do I know what someone else considers spoiler tag worthy? I mean the only obvious thing to me would be major character deaths.

It depends so much on the context tho

Like, if I'm tweeting about the movie Rebecca, I'm not going to waste 20 characters putting a spoiler warning on that shit

I can understand not thinking of it for older fandoms. It's why if I'm watching an older show, I stay completely out of the fandom until I've finished. (Which kinda sucks but oh well.) I don't understand it for new shows and movies.

I don't even need a formal spoiler notice. Just say something like "can you believe what happened in tonight's episode of Series A? I didn't think Joe would die!" Instead of leading off with "OMG, Joe died on Series A tonight!" The first I can immediately stop reading as soon as I see Series A for tonight, whereas I've already read the spoiler in the second before i realize it is something i dont want to read. Or, like, the race to see who can make spoilery gifs the fastest as possible. Especially if they dont tag them for me to block. Tagging isn't that hard.

not joe!

i haven't seen that much of Series A yet

[meredith44]

Oh no! Sorry I spoiled it for you. I was sad about poor Joe.

I would never consider putting in a spoiler tag for any of the movies the other Anon mentioned above because they are *old*. So much of them that's spoilery is pop culture stuff, you pretty much assume everybody knows, at least broadly, if not every last detail.

And for a show like Buffy - again, it's been around forever, talked about forever, and not *only* on fandom sites, but out in the 'real' world, so...i pretty much assume most people know the bones of things, and get that if I'm going to talk about a show that old in fandom space, thinking about spoilers isn't the first thing that comes to mind.

Shouldn't every fanwork be tagged "spoilers" then because hey, it's centered around or spun off from stuff that happened in the movie/show! So if everything's tagged as a spoiler, what's the point? Or are you guys thinking of more sophisticated spoiler tags that tell you what season or movie there are spoilers for within the fandom? That would make more sense. I don't pay much attention to tags so maybe I haven't noticed.

Personally, I think spoilers should apply to current season or movie only. After that, it should just be assumed that there will be spoilers galore, read at your own risk. But that's just me. (and, since others don't tag for spoilers at all, "read at your own risk" is a good policy for spoilerphobes across the board, really)

I think spoilers can be assumed from certain forms of discussion. I'm not going to demand that book club discussions and re-reads carry a spoiler tag for example, it can be assumed.
