I wholeheartedly agree… but then I think getting upset about spoilers is silly in general. If a plot point or piece of information wrecks a book/film/television show/video game for you, odds are it wasn’t a very quality one anyway.

There are certain stories where a good amount of the first-time enjoyment is trying to guess the outcome/twist, like murder mysteries. IMO it really depends on the story structure.

Part of my enjoyment is not necessarily knowing what is coming next so that I can experience it for myself. Spoilers won’t completely ruin something for me, but it is taking something away from the experience.

Also, to everyone out there, just tag the spoilers so people can make up their own mind what they read. It takes a bare minimum of effort to do so. It’s akin to holding the door open for someone behind you, it’s not going to be the end of the world if you don’t, but it can make someone’s day a fraction better if you do.

I mostly agree, but then there are pieces of media like Memento where spoiling it changes how you watch the movie. Because you’re likely going to be looking for how they put the movie together to build up to that reveal at the end.
