melissadoom: anyway it’s super fucked up people treat trigger warnings as slapstick jokes but spoiler warnings as serious and sacrosanct holy shit



I’ve seen about five clones of this post, and I still don’t really get how it’s supposed to be contradictory or hypocritical or anything. Both basically come down to “don’t ruin everyone’s surprise.”

And I can’t speak for everyone, but… I don’t think spoiler warnings are sacred? And would never try to make anyone use them? (Again, this is consistent with thinking pushing people to use trigger warnings is shitty. This time, it comes down to “don’t boss people around.”) When I don’t want to be spoiled, I just get more careful and avoid places where it might happen.

HMM.
