Too bad? It matters to some people and if you want to be nice, you'll make a good faith effort to use a *reasonable* amount of discretion. I personally don't think swearing should matter to people but when I'm at the office, I keep it polite even though it ~hamstrings my personal expression~ because I think it's valuable to make reasonable accommodations for people's comfort and enjoyment when possible. That's ALSO how adults act. That said, if someone considers casting decisions, filming locations, or other production elements to be on par with "Darth Vader is Luke's father and ESB ends with Lando betraying Solo and Luke being dismembered!", then THAT person is not being reasonable by expecting a discussion thread to be devoid of chat about those things. That seems quite a bit rarer than lazy people who don't want be bothered to use spoiler tags and who dress it up with high-minded pronouncements about what "really matters" and what's "actually important." Frankly, this thread seems to be full of people that act like they can't tell the difference between major plot spoilers and minor production reveals and people being obtuse or mildly autistic about the variety of ways people enjoy consuming media. It takes a low amount of effort to not spoiler major plot elements and pleasurable surprises in a discussion thread for recent or forthcoming media. It's easy. Just be nice and ignore the .01% of jerks who claim casting decisions are spoilers. I remember one of my wife's friends wanted to show me Firefly because I'd never seen it. She then constantly spoiled things that were going to happen because she's one of those horrible people who can't shut up during a show going "Ooh this is good, ooh look look this is great, ooh you're gonna love this upcoming fight scene oh boy i just love what happens next" and bragging about how "she could tell right away the first time that this was actually that, you'll see". I told her I prefer to watch a show unspoiled and she said, "Well, you know they published a study saying spoilers don't really affect your enjoyment" with the biggest  face. She pretty much ruined the experience for me and I put an end to Firefly nights with her because of it. This is my experience of the  "Well, actually..." brigade in real life.
