My stance on spoilers...

[sennetari]

I guess I could say please please don't ever spoil me, especially if the show just aired four hours ago, but I'll try to stay away from the internet instead.

Sometime (okay, most of the time) I really want to ask people to not use icons/avatars/banners made from the latest episode(s) (that I have a misfortune to not have caught yet), but I'll resist. It's my problem for not catching up, not theirs. (And I sometimes do the same thing--using images from later episodes I mean.)

I suppose I could whine about getting the next episode preview spoiled, but I'll resist. I know not everyone is as obsessive with LJ cutting as I am.

I suppose I could get upset if someone is posting a spoiler image without a cut, but I've long since turned off image display on my f-list (and taking the offending comm off my f-list), so I don't have room to complain.

In short, I don't go online if I don't want to be spoiled. I get what I deserve otherwise.

For my own posts, I usually err on the side of caution and try to cut almost every thing even remotely spoilery. Maybe that might be a bit annoying to have to click on one of my posts just to find four lines of text, but I just feel better that way I suppose.

I had a better/more proper write-up on this topic, but seems like I accidentally deleted it or something. :( Anyway, this was kind of brought on by the LJ post I read about my space getting into your space via f-list and friendsfriends. F-list I can sort of understand--they are choosing the people they want to read, after all, but friendsfriends I don't see how the original poster have room to complain; friendsfriends are not the people on their f-list, so they don't have to carter to the poster's desire to stay spoiler-free (most likely they don't even know the OP exists and is lurking on their posts). And just in case that thing outside of cut is not clear, I don't mind if I inadvertently get spoiled. True, I would be sad for a moment, but I'll accept that I can't do anything to erase the spoilers from my head, and move on (more likely after complaining a bit). I choose to be on the internet, so I'll accept the responsibility that what has already happened (my learning stuff I would rather not) cannot be changed.


And the writer's block looks interesting, but asking me to choose my own favorite LJ post(s)? My face is not that thick. ETA: Well, I did spend time reading my old KR Den-O posts (at least the ones that I remembered to tag), and I don't find them half-bad, really, for a show I was (and probably still am) rather indifferent to. Nevertheless, I'll probably get to the movies before the end of this week. <--ETA 2: DONE!
