Ever notice how people tend to get irritated when a movie, show episode or book is spoiled?
That there is a spoiler disclaimer needed and people will read it anyway?
Discussions concerning these things have to be worded just right so not to spoil the experience for those that have not seen or read the material. Its accepted as the right thing to do. To not spoil it for others.
Doesn't this restrict the participation of discussions on those possibly spoiled subjects?
Wouldn't it be better to have a section, site or special forum just for spoilers so people that have seen or read the subject can comment freely.
Wouldn't such a place imply with no doubt that there will be spoilers and if you don't want the material spoiled, don't read the discussions?
I would think that people who want to discuss the movies, shows and books that they have watched or read should have the same right to do so as people that don't want their experience spoiled.
