Member of the Castle spoiler free club!
I have long ago lost count of how
many times I have politely asked people in the Castle fandom to tag spoilers on twitter. It is not that
difficult to type #spoiler at the start of each tweet about an episode that hasn’t
been released yet. As for Facebook have people considered creating a group or page where people can discuss spoilers and post pictures so that they don't end up on everyone's timelines through personal posts.
The Internet forms a community and like any
community there are people with varying opinions. Not everyone likes spoilers,
so please be considerate and respectful and tag anything relating to an unaired episode. Also please don't use spoilery pictures as your display pictures.
I did my stint in high school and
I don’t like being made to feel like I am back there because people can’t think
beyond their own concerns. I am tired of being ostracised from using my social
networking accounts because I’m worried of being spoiled. I have just as much
right to be online as the rest of you. Excitement is not an excuse. I’m excited
and yet I still tag my posts (with something distinguishing) when I watch the episodes because I know not
everyone can see them at the same time as me. When you claim that excitement
is an excuse not only are you ostracising the spoiler free by not tagging spoilers you
are now also insinuating that we are not as excited because we don’t like them. Those
who enjoy spoilers do not have more right to be online than those who don’t.
And it doesn’t make you a better fan because you want to know every little
detail you can get your hands on. We are all fans regardless of our feelings
about spoilers. It takes less than ten seconds to type #spoiler and it only
uses up eight characters. Quit being inconsiderate and acting like you are more
important than the rest of us. I’m sick of being made to feel like I’m a second
class citizen in this fandom.
