Firstborn posted:In the case of GoT, it's spoiled for sport in places where GoT isn't discussed. Your idea is not that these people are being jerks, but that you should stay away from the internet until the show is over? I think it's generally easier to avoid movie spoilers if the trailer doesn't give it away. The idea is just that so-called "spoilers"— that is, knowing something beforehand about the plot of a movie (or show or book, etc)— don't actually spoil anything, they don't diminish the entertainment value or enjoyability of the film.

Srice posted:Phone posting so I can't dig up the link (I hope someone has it on hand since it's a neat read) but there was a study that came to that conclusion. The published study: http://pss.sagepub.com/content/22/9/1152 A more readable summary of the study: http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/archive/newsrel/soc/2011_08spoilers.asp A really interesting paper about the Paradox of Suspense: http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/paradox-suspense/ (the phenomenon that, counterintuitively, we still experience suspense when we know the outcome of a story)
