Modern Spoiler Culture

[BULUPTAX]

Yeah it feels insane that this extends even to comics. I caught up with the newest Ultimate Spider-Man run after about 12 issues (it's a monthly release I believe) and just after I'd caught up, but hadn't yet read the 13th issue, the Spider-Man subreddit openly had a spoiler for a reveal/plot point as a hot post on my front page. You would think for a community who's participants are actively smaller than ever, that they may be a bit more considerate when something kicks off in popularity, but instead it becomes an echo chamber of "you should've read it already bro!"

I've been getting a lot of that in the X-Men subreddit. They'd post several pages of newly released issues, I haven't touched upon the newer stuff but I've seen some important bits from that subreddit against my will.

On a similar note, hearing too much about one thing before seeing it makes me not want to watch it. When Squid Game first came out, I kept hearing about it everywhere to the point where I lost any interest in checking it out myself. I'm starting to feel the same way about that new Sinners movie
