  • You don’t have to put up spoiler warnings for old films, but it’s still thoughtful to do so.

    I definitely put up spoilers for old films if I’m telling people to watch something and I think it is improved by the twist. But I also don’t think we as a collective society need to avoid openly talking about The Sixth Sense to protect people who haven’t seen it.

    So I guess you’re not in the wrong to spoiler tag, they’re not really in the wrong for thinking it’s funny to spoiler tag a movie that’s older than some of our grandparents. Unless they’re actually, legitimately, shitting on you for tagging spoilers, then they can fuck right off





  • The joke is that JK Rowling names her characters offensively.

    I’ve seen this done before with multiple non-existent examples.

    This one also uses a Japanese example.

    My point is that JK Rowling already named an Asian character offensively. She also has an Irish kid named Seamus that loves blowing stuff up, and a black man named Shacklebolt.

    All I’m saying is the joke is now distracting from the source, because there is a real example of using her naming conventions on Asian characters. I’ll also say that we don’t actually know Cho’s nationality, yet I don’t have faith in JK Rowling to distinguish between non-European nationalities.

    Of course, the longer I talk about it the less funny everything becomes.
