How do you feel about spoilers?

[Ponykit]

For me, I hate spoilers, at least most of the time. Sometimes, if I'm not as into the series, or if I know a lot about it already, I don't care as much, but generally I don't like spoilers.

What's your opinion?

[CoonhoundBetty]

I like them. Whenever we watch a movie, I'm usually on wikipedia looking everything up haha

I certainly don't like them, but they also don't bother me as much as they used to.  I'm kind of a "the journey is more important than the destination" sort of person, so as long as I don't know every single detail of what leads up to the spoiler it doesn't get on my nerves too badly.  That being said, I do avoid spoilers and I get kind of frustrated when I see them.  Accidental spoilers aren't so bad, but I loathe when people spoil things for others on purpose.  Like the time in middle school that someone ran up to me and blurted out the ending to the book I was reading just to see my reaction to learning that one of my favorite characters was killed

For me it depends on the program: If it's a movie, drama series, or reality competition then I avoid spoilers. For sitcoms I often seek them out.

Depends on what kind of spoiler (the bigger and easier it is to guess, the less annoyed I am) and how into the thing I am! Sometimes I'll look up spoilers for myself just to see if I'm going to be mad at the game/show/book later on, but if someone tells them to me without me asking I'll be mad, haha.

Among my Internet Pet Peeves is when someone warns that they're going to include a spoiler, but gives no indication of what it'll be a spoiler for. Because then I have no idea if it's safe to read or not!

I require spoilers in my life   so I'll know what to expect in everything (movies, TV shows, books )

[mopthebunny]

I always find myself accidentally finding spoilers for things I don't really mind, though. I frequently look for them, anyway

Urgh, I am in total agreement there

[Miniature Sheep]

It depends on what the spoilers are for, really. If it's a film/TV show/book I can't be bothered actually engaging with but just want to know what happens, then I'll on the internet like a shot looking up all the spoilers ever. However, if it's something that I am interested in, then I like to be unaware of what's coming next; it kind of takes the shine off when you know what's coming.

I usually don't care much. It kind of depends on how large and important the spoiler is. The only time I got really mad was when a TV commercial about a new Sons of Anarchy season told about a person who had died in the season before. I was two seasons behind. I stopped watching, no point when knowing one of my favorite characters would dissapear. If I happen to stumble upon it, or read about it without stopping I have none to blame but myself. If a person talks about it I can ask him/her to stop, but I don't expect things like that from the TV!

I don't like surprises. Spoilers are ok to me!

[kaoskat]

I don't care one why or the other. The ending is not the big deal for me. The getting there is. So finding out where a story/movie/tv show/game ends doesn't matter at all to me. If I wanted to take the trip in the first place, I'll still take it.

[melodys_angel]

If I want them, ill seek them out--otherwise its not a real big deal

[starrypawz]

It depends, like if it's for something I'm really invested in I'd rather not, but then sometimes it's like they're useful if like there's something and then there's like a plot element or whatever in there I find uncomfortable so I can go 'you know what I'll take a skip on it'
And like if it's a piece of media like a game that's taking me forever to get through I don't mind after a while because like it'll take me forever to get there etc

I like them when they are functional and are well integrated with the body. They can really help provide extra traction, especially at higher speeds.  I don't like the ones that are just decorative lumps of plastic on the trunk lid, and.... you meant the other kind of spoiler, didn't you?
