If it means that much to you that you know nothing of the show until you can see it in real time, then ...

Yes. You should wait like you don't have the Interwebs at all.

Because you are bound to be disappointed and it will actually be your fault because the many cannot fulfill the needs of the one.

What do you mean 'that mauch'? How hard is it to write 'contains spoilers for season/episode xxx?' It's not like I'm asking for complete silence until EVERYONE sees it.

Seconding this. It takes two seconds to put something behind a cut on LJ or tag for spoilers on Tumblr so people can TS it. The way I see it, if I go looking at recent news articles or comm posts discussing the latest episodes, I have no right to be pissed if I get spoiled. But I shouldn't have to avoid Tumblr or Livejournal or the ENTIRE INTERNET for weeks/months just because people are self-centered assholes and assume because they're a) able to watch something the second it airs or b) able to download and watch it right after that everyone else should, too. Some people have bandwidth restrictions and can't download stuff right away. Some people are busy and can't watch shit right away even if they can download it. And a lot of online streaming isn't available depending on what country you're in. The whole "If you're that worried about spoilers, watch it away or get off the Internet!" mindset is just indicative of the whole "now now now me me me" mindset that broad swaths of Internet fandom seems to have adopted. Ugh.

Also, some people like to spoil shit before it even comes out. So, yeah.

(Sorry, about the rant. But yeah, I totally agree.)

*watch it right away, even. Damn you, inability to edit.

That's pretty unrealistic and unfair. People in other parts of the world shouldn't have to completely avoid anything fandom-related just because they're unlucky enough to have to wait for movies/episodes/books.

I'm reminded of how cool the entire rest of the world was to America when The Avengers came out weeks before we got it here. I still stayed about as involved in the fandom as I'd ever been, but I went into the movie completely unspoiled, primarily because everyone took care to label fic/art with spoiler tags and put excited rants under cuts and all.

That was really nice.

I don't think most Americans realize how good they have it when it comes to entertainment and media and takes it for granted, unlike the rest of the world.

Because most people have some common courtesy and understand that it's rude as fuck not to tag/warn for spoilers.

Though there were a fair share of assholes in the Avengers spoilers came. I had Coulson's death spoiled for me on tumblr by an anon in my ask box. >.> But yeah, for the most part people were really great after Avengers came out.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-15 10:00 am (UTC)(link)
The Avengers didn't come out in my country until August.

I'd like to thank everyone that didn't spoil me and for Technophile putting spoiler marks up on Avengers' secrets.

I still would have enjoyed the movie if I had been spoiled, but the fact that everything surprised me and amazed me while watching it in the theater was great. I didn't feel like I had already seen the film when I went, and it was so nice.

So thank you F!S.

Tbh I'm American and I'd still put spoiler warnings for a few months afterward because I'm aware that a significant number of people won't see it immediately, and it's not like it would take that long to write out "Spoilers for season X." It's not a matter of 'the many fulfilling the needs of the one', it's a matter of laziness.

Above anon. This was actually in response to the above situation where the other poster's country doesn't get seasons till after they've aired over here, meant to post somewhere in there but whatever.
