So, people that are able to freely comment on things of a medium have to tip toe around new fans of an adaptation of the medium when the adaptation releases? I find that unfair. I’ll change the comment if someone mentions it out of politeness, but I refuse to keep track of all the adaptations of the mediums I have read. There’s way too many comics I read and I consume zero anime.
You are expecting me to keep track of all the new adaptations of the mediums I read in case someone isn’t able to have context. I didn’t know that Dungeon Meshi had an anime adaptation, it’s unreasonable to expect me to keep track of all of the anime adaptations of all the comics I read, I hope you agree on that.
But you’d also be spoiling the manga for people who haven’t read it yet.
I’m talking about discussing stories in general. “You’ll ruin it for the anime watchers” is only slightly more relevant than “you’ll ruin it for people who haven’t read it yet”.
You can’t assume everyone has experienced every half-decent piece of media that has ever existed. And especially if it’s good, they might want to someday. It’s not their fault they haven’t heard about it or had the time, and if you care about them, or the piece of media, that should be your problem.
You can’t just go “they should have read it then”. That’s a stance that genuinely makes want to tell you to fuck off instead of being polite about this. Add to it the childish passive agression in your edits, and I’m a putting some real effort into being nice here.
Giving people the option to stay oblivious to how a story goes whether that piece was published a decade or a century ago, takes absolutely no effort.
Whether there’s a recent adaption or not, doesn’t change squat.
I agree with you overall, and I do try to be mindful with reveals like “X dies, Y was Z’s kid, they were siblings secretly” and so on where the reveal spoils the plot until it if you know it early, but I do want to recontextualize that we are talking about
Tap for spoiler
Marceline’s race, that doesn’t become an important plot point until after it’s mentioned for the first time, it’s not a big reveal until later it’s expanded upon. It’s not really an spoiler without the context of why it’s important.
In any case, I did spoiler cover it and I think we are mostly in agreement, I don’t think that there’s any need for me to defend myself further so, have a great day! <3
Her race itself is a far smaller spoiler, than your explicit statement that her race is a central plot point.
That kind of hint, is the type that can send some people down a chain of conclusions that together with other already revealed details allow for people to see Marcille becoming the dungeon master coming.
And this is a valid excuse to not care, and not even try?
Why don’t you complain? It works. I got you to add a tag, didn’t I?

Okay, you were right, that was improper. I quite literally said that the reveal was important, dammit. Dunno how I missed that. Thanks.
