Subscribe To PewDiePie Meme Shutdown, GOT Spoiler Debate, NRA Infighting & Investigation daffy duck: Honestly, when it comes to Game of Thrones, the books are ahead by a pretty good bit, so if you choose to only watch the TV show and you get a spoiler, unless it's done by an asshole, that's on you because even the people who watch every new episode are keeping themselves behind. So much more of the story is already out there and able to be found at any given time. I understand and respect the please don't spoil it for the show only people mentality, but I also can't really seem to care when someone has something spoiled. For things like movies and video games, spoilers should be set on a timer. A movie is one to three months of relative silence, a video game could be anywhere from a month to a year depending on the story, type of game, etc. However, some games are only effective story-wise if you go in with next to no understanding, in which case there's a special instance of don't spoil it, just tell people to go play it and a similar mentality should be adopted with movies. For a quick example, games like Doki Doki Literature Club and Undertale are well past the traditional spoiler statute of limitations by now, but these in particular we still try not to spoil because the experience is absolutely fantastic. Basically my conclusion is GoT spoilers are your own fault in a sense, movies are important not to spoil shortly after release, video games deserve the longest timer, but at the end of the day, spoilers suck for everyone. So don't spoil shit and cause this debate in the first place.

My friends and I had a movie spoiler discussion last night and we agreed that about 6 months or about a month after a movie has been in Redbox, whichever is longer is the acceptable time frame to keep your mouth shut. After that we feel like it's probably not really a priority of that person's to see the movie and therefore is safe to talk about without checking with someone first. As for TV shows like game of thrones I feel like you should have to put spoiler warnings before anything posted within 48 hours of release and after that it's up to the person that hasn't seen it to find a way to avoid spoilers on there own because it is so widely accessable that after that time frame you either cared to watch it or it's not important to you. Although if talking directly to someone about it you should definitely check if they've seen it or are ok with discussing it for the first week after the show has aired. After all most spoilers are on social media and if you have time after 48 hours to scroll through that kind of thing then you've probably had time to sit down and watch the episode, where as if you are talking with friends and family you may not have had the opportunity yet and therefore they should check with you first.

As a Jew, I see the humor in it. These type of sensationalist jokes are meant to prove a point of the absurdity of fivr and that context as seen throughout that video make it clearly not hateful, racist or discriminatory. However, with a great following and as a person of influence comes a yolk of responsibility when in public to not do anything that can be misconstrued. It was therefore irresponsible due to the few people who will take this as a dog whistle and mainstreaming their disgusting views. It takes only one crazy guy to use it as a pretext to violence. With a history as oppressed and violent as that of my people an extra layer of sensitivity is warranted by all people of influence when in the public sphere. Its not a matter of labeling pewdiepie since the context and his more recent explicit disavowed of all forms of Hatred and violence, its a matter of basic responsibility. He has apologized and I think its his very humility and good nature that makes him overlook how his jokes can be misunderstood and has apologized for this. Its time to move on and stop penalizing a man that is one of the more moral and good character leaders in todays world.

I havent had much trouble avoiding spoilers online but I guess I dont follow those kind of people. However, a good point Ive heard brought up is TIMEZONES: many of us live where its the middle of the working day or middle of the night when these things come out. Expecting everyone to have seen it already is kinda rediculous. We dont all live where you do. We have lives and jobs. Give them a chance to catch up. These massive online live-streamed events or whatever are cool but theyre not scheduled well for everyone. Hey, I live in Asia and even our holidays are different. I didnt get Easter off but now weve got an entire week. Just consider that the more connected we get online, the further away some of us are in the real world.

for the spoiler debate it is different between theater and cable because one theater are limited in space and tickets. not everyone can make it day one or day two and you have assholes stating well if you didnt want to hear about it why wait to see it. my friend literally couldnt get tickets because it solde out the first two days because it solde out months before release. he now quit facebook and twitter to avoid spoilers because he has to wait till this friday to see it. cable anyone could see it or record it like i had to do and even then most of the people spoiling it are raging on how it was directed and how it played out.

I completely agree, Game of Thrones is less tight-lipped because it is SO MUCH more accessible than Endgame within the first few days after it comes out. I know it's wrong but even if you don't have subscriptions to HBO then you can easily find it online, and watch it happily in your home whenever you would like. Spending up (sometimes more than) to 20 to go and sit in a movie theater for hours is much less of a possibility for a majority of people and so you must give some time after it is released. For Game of Thrones the question is more why haven't you watched it yet? and less wow you're so lucky you've already seen it

In regards to spoilers, I understand that there are many people out there that don't care if something gets spoiled but most people do. My attitude is with anything that has just been released, at least give it a week or so before talking about it without a spoiler warning. I have seen news articles and youtube videos have spoilers right in the title without any warning less than a day after the thing was released. It's not fun or fair and I have taken to completely signing off social media entirely between big things coming out and seeing it. If you want to talk about something, go ahead but try to be considerate

Good on Felix for publicly taking away any endorsement of the sub to pewds meme, it's long since outlived its welcome. As for spoilers, I think there should always be a buffer period between when something is released and when it's acceptable to actively talk about it without some sort of alert or warning. Especially with something as globally huge as GOT, I live in Scotland where it airs at 2am on a Sunday and I have to wait till I get home from work to watch it; reacting to something in real time where not everyone can be in sync isn't fair on those who have no choice but to be late to the party.

What people don't understand when it comes to GoT is that NO it is not like watching it in a massive movie theater because it airs at the same time That dismisses air time around the world. I'm in the Middle East and the episode airs 16 hours after the US episode airs, so unless I want to pirate the episode or watch it illegally, I will have to stay off the internet until it airs in my country. This is why fans who don't live in America have been calling for at least a 24 hour grace period where you all shut up on social media, it's not that we didn't watch it in time. we literally can't

I get that people want to talk about GOT, but recently with this debate it seems like people are purposefully spoiling details. Im a broke ass college student and dont have HBO so I planned on waiting til they all come out and paying for one month of HBO streaming and just binging the episodes, but sadly I already know so many details about whats going on because of twitter. The issue is I would stay off Twitter on Sunday nights because thats when you would assume people would be spoiling details, but they continue talking about it throughout the entire week and dont give any heads up.
