there was no reasonable expectation of a person highlighting that post that they were about to receive a star wars spoiler. Really shitty thing to do imo.

It was leaked months ago.
What the fuck does that have to do with literally anything
I personally was pretty pleased with the star wars spoiler.
It confirmed that I didn't care about star wars. At least not ones that pander to the fans of the originals. Episode 2 was the best one. Actually had the most interesting plotline.
At least my least favourite character dies. That was another plus.

I love this
oh lol
i thought another thing we were doing was making vague spoilers that wouldn't mean anything to ppl who didn't read the work in question/ doesn't know what i'm talking about.
sry.
The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.
I assume that's a poirot reference? Am I wrong? I think you'll find that this site has a lot of crossover with the kind of people who like Agatha Christie.
That's a spoiler for Murder on the Orient express, is a twist that basically everyone with half decent knowledge of Christie's work probably knows, and it's vague enough that most people wouldn't realise it was referring to it.
