I'm amazed when people take this sort of stance where they seem to say that if something is acceptable to them, then it must be acceptable to everyone else.

Please respect the wishes of other people even if their viewpoint doesn't match yours.

In this case we are taking about the concept of spoilers, so please take into account that some people do not like to be spoiled for any reason. What's more, we even have specific rules here in AnimeSuki about spoilers so it really doesn't matter what your personal viewpoint is on the issue, we specifically ask that spoilers are not posted under certain circumstances.

The issue here isn't if you think spoilers matter or not. For some reason some posters seem to think that is the purpose of this thread is to justify why spoilers do not matter. It really doesn't matter if you think spoiler rules are needed or not, we specifically ask for spoilers not to be posted in certain threads.

For some (many I suspect), if they are about to watch a new movie, they would not like to be told "everyone dies in the end" (or whatever the final plot turns out to be) before they actually get a chance to watch it for themselves. During the course of the movie, it is possible to "get involved" in the plot and form an opinion as to how it might end, you might form an emotional attachment to certain characters and enjoy (or maybe not) how the story progresses and concludes. To be told beforehand (for example) that a character dies can spoil, for some, the enjoyment of the build up, of the experience.

Now if spoilers do not effect you, good for you! But please have some consideration for others who may not share this viewpoint. Like most things, different people like different things. Some find spoilers objectionable, others do not. We have defined some rules concerning spoilers here ate AnimeSuki and just like any of the other rules we request that posters respect the rules of the forum.

And as a reminder, please read our Spoiler Policy before posting in this thread At least be familiar with the topic under discussion.
