I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I fully agree and I already explained that the Tar joke I posted isn't a spoiler

Assuming the plot points in the tweet are authentic, it most certainly was. The movie has been marketed as about her downfall, for being “cancelled.” I’d had no idea what the impetus was until you posted that, and now when I watch the movie I’ll be watching her interactions with other characters with a solid hunch of how they’re going to pan out.

yeah it's all dumb, but i was trying to be nice.

I'm more on your side here. The negative effects of using precautionary spoiler codes are literally NOTHING, while the potential upside is that maybe we save the poor hapless bozo who absentmindedly clicks open a thread of a show they're not 100% caught up on. It's a stupid thing to get mad about.
