I think it’s fine for you to put spoiler warnings on stuff if you want to. I also think it’s fine for someone to make a joke about you putting spoiler warnings on a post about a 70 year old movie.
(On a personal note, I don’t think you could spoil 12 Angry Men by knowing the outcome. I feel like it’s somewhat predictable, but it’s the interactions that make it a great film anyway.)
And, if someone has written a post/article about a movie or book or whatever, and I don’t want spoilers, I think it’s up to me to decide whether or not I should take the risk of reading the post. If I’m reading about something that is already out and there happens to be a spoiler in it, that’s on me. Hell, I don’t even like watching trailers if I don’t want a movie spoiled. They are notorious for showing the ending and best scenes.
As you said, there is no time after a release that is fair game for spoilers - but to me that’s on the shoulders of the reader, not the writer, otherwise everything we write about will be a never-ending stream of spoiler warnings.
The only exception, in my opinion, is people who deliberately try to fool people into reading/seeing spoilers, e.g. by putting the spoiler in a post title or as part of something unrelated. Fuck those guys.



















No, it’s worse than that, I think.
He wanted the student to be hired by a convicted sex trafficker. He says he knew Epstein would want to know more about her physical traits, so he preemptively proffered the info to “the boss”. He’s saying that as his defense. He seriously doesn’t even get how disgusting that sounds.
