Exclusivity periods are silly and just get in the way of discussion, in the same way that giant blocks of spoiler tags are.

Except all the spoiler tags take are a little bit of mouse-action. No one's saying you can't talk about it, just don't put it RIGHT beneath that post.

It doesn't matter if its right before or 10 pages after, its just a contextless image and not a spoiler.

It would be different if I had left dialogue in or more panels of a sequence that explicitly pointed out the nature and action of the scene that would reveal the chapter, but instead its just a cool picture that highlights how Helck's artist has a really good grasp of form and composition. I'm especially impressed by how by cutting the wings off at the panel edge and reintroducing them on the sides it makes them look massive and even surround the viewer, its a very dynamic panel of hyura in the shadow of one of the angels.

It's very cool panel.

The art is simple but the fundamentals are super strong, in Helck.

Thank you. It took me a very long time to decide which one to use.

Upside? I got to watch the ykk ovas again searching for something gif-able.

Also coffee. All the coffee.


And yeah, I'm not saying that it's not amazing art (it is) but it's just kinda a dick move, y'know? In the long run, is it a big deal? No.

Is it even a spoiler when the previous chapter straight-up spelled out this was gonna happen? The only twist is that it happened at the end of the chapter, not the beginning.

If you must blink, do it now.
Internet spoiler culture, in general, is poisonous, paranoid, and overbearing, so there's definitely something to be said for being more relaxed and less fussy about spoiler. I myself don't particularly care about spoilers, and having important moments spoiled for me usually doesn't detract from my enjoyment of something.

That said, there's something to be said for people being able to check the thread for a series they're excited about, wondering if there's any word of an update, and not having an enormous, difficult to ignore, seemingly important scene thrust before their eyes before they're even had the chance to read it because someone else has decided for them that it's not a spoiler.

Have a little common courtesy.

Spoiler culture is bad and poisonous, but let's have some common courtesy and continue to perpetuate the myth of spoiler culture.

It's not a scene, single panels without dialogue where all subjects aren't visible is the equivalent of promotional stills for film where somebody is ensconced in shadow.

A picture of piuy would also be a spoiler to a new reader if you proscribe to the idea that any image at all would negatively impact the virginal reading experience.

If you use common sense it's easy to determine what is too revealing instead of blindly fumbling about because you are afraid of the dastardly spoilers.

You're obnoxious, condescending, and wholly disingenuous, someone who refuses to accept being told or asked not to do something because you think you're always right, a perfect example being you making a second post with the thing the mod edited out just because you can't stand that he stepped into your posting space and changed it when you don't agree with him. You're poo poo stirring for the sake of it.

I don't think there's any reason to use spoiler tags in a thread for an ongoing manga. If you're that worried about spoilers, why didn't you check for an update before clicking on the thread, especially if there's a bunch of new posts? Constantly limiting discussion because some people might not have read the latest chapter is really dumb. The only time I feel you should do somethin like that is something like a simulwatch, where some posters have seen the show before and others are watching it for the first time, or an anime/manga that's adapted from something else, where some posters have read the source material but others haven't.

In the case of anime shows about manga adaptions I think you just shouldn't discuss the comic at all.

i don't know if my experience as a phone poster really helps, since the image can only be so big on my small screen. but uh, i get how people would dislike having that picture thrust at them because, viscerally, it inspires the same "SPOILER!" reaction in me that i'm sure it has others. i don't think that's a particularly good reaction to have though, and should probably be thought through rather than vomited into the world to perpetuate spoiler culture.


based on the content of what Sharky posted, the reaction here seems outsized :shrug:

Not because of potential spoilers, just because you should discuss the work on its own merits mainly and people constantly comparing it unfavorably to the source is annoying.

It's a cool page and they'd been telegraphing what'd be happening pretty hard for 2 chapters. It could have easily been the cover page if the Helck artist didn't feel like making the cute one instead (which I'm thankful for). Like, Sharkopath could have posted that in the convince someone to read a manga in one page thread and would've been completely fine.

It also loses some impact as a really cool, intense scene when you don't get the full chapter lead up to it. So I agree it wasn't a spoiler, but a moment like that should be preserved for other people to appreciate it

Next time I'll wait until after the actual chapter is up on batoto, thanks to the good arguments posted in this discussion that convinced me of some failures in my reasoning.
