    Ngl I’ve always hated that reasoning. It’s really inconsiderate to younger people. Sure, The Hobbit has been out for ages but somebody just turned thirteen yesterday and might have only just discovered it. I know I would’ve been upset if it was spoiled for me just because it came out before I was born.

    Edit: You downvoters are pathetic tbh, it’s just a common courtesy that takes no effort. The speech equivalent to the shopping cart test. All you have to do, before saying the spoilers, is just to say “spoilers for example” and then you get to talk about whatever you want and not be a complete asshole to somebody who hasn’t been exposed to the same media as you. Be better.

      So what, we can never talk about the ending of any story/movie/game because someone hasn’t been born yet?

        Technology gave us spoiler tags and unmarked spoiler warning on communication spaces. So, sure we could, if we wanted to --shrug

        Would it be so hard to just say you’re about to mention spoilers and then talk about whatever you want? It’s just a common courtesy that takes no effort. We even have spoiler tags if you want to go the extra mile but that’s not even necessary. Just say “Spoilers for Example Property ahead” or something like that and then that’s it. You can talk about what you want and still be courteous to people who haven’t had the same media exposure as you.

        Or just note that you’re about to talk about spoilers? Is that so hard?

          Seriously, that’s all you do. Just say you’re about to mention spoilers and then talk about whatever you want. It’s just a common courtesy that takes no effort.
