I’m also quite aware that my fellow posters are actual people. My stance is about reasonable norms and expectations. Again I mostly agree, except that IMO the norm is and should be to speak freely unless the space has been designated to avoid spoilers.   I don’t actual think it’s good for society/media to even have a widespread expectation of the sort of novelty that underpins the idea of spoilers. “Oh I found out the twist in The 6th Sense. Why bother even watching it, now?” Is just not soemthing that should be encouraged as a mindset. However, I don’t imagine I can change peoples minds, so I will respect requests to avoid spoilers.   I won’t ever consider myself beholden to assume such a request barring an explicit indication otherwise, however.</blockquote>
