Wanktastic
Mini ROTK wank:

"It's a spoiler!" "No! It's not!" "It is if I say it is!" "You're insane!" "You're a bitch!"

[info]leggyslove posts a batch of screen caps in her LJ from the Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King trailer. One of the pictures is not put behind a cut-tag, and [info]finduilas_clln asks if it can be so as to avoid spoilers. [info]dreagonfli flies to [info]leggyslove's defense, stating that screencaps are not spoileriffic. Turns out, [info]finduilas_clln doesn't even care for herself, but for [info]m_l_h, who wants to remain blissfully ignorant of everything in relation to ROTK until it plays in theaters this December, and who is not even on [info]leggyslove's friends list. Various people join in to convince her that seeing a picture of a main character wearing a hood isn't particularly spoily, as we've already seen him in that cloak with the hood down for two years. [info]m_l_h claims that any image or soundbite from the movie is a spoiler. Others counter that the books have been out for 50 years, so there are no spoilers. [info]m_l_h is dumbfounded that anyone would post anything about the movie without cut-tagging it, and asks another person whose friends list she is not on not to create ROTK image icons, for fear of her seeing spoilage.

Censorship is mentioned. The definitions of common courtesy, flaming and proactive are debated. A good time is had by all.

I know people who stayed perfectly spoiler-free until this Legolas pic.

There are tons of people out there who'd like to have their 'purity' ruined by Legolas, hun. Count yourself lucky.

It amuses me that last night I posted an entry saying that my fandom needs prozac.

It's so nice to be proven right.

and am avoiding visual spoilers, myself, so am not actually reading the wank. thank you for the masterfully amusing summary.

Frankly, I think they're both fucking psychos.

I mean, honestly, if it shuts the girl up, just CUT the damn pictures, already. People who post long series of large files on LJ are annoying as a moot point anyway.

Think of the bandwidth children!

All this does is remind me of the people who consider basic info spoilers. For instance, on the show Angel, the title character Angel will be appearing this year.

Or the whole Chewbacca/Episode III thing.

But then I'm so spoiled that I read the book years ago, forgot most of what happens, and will only so see ROTK in the theater so I have to stay awake for it.

I'm a heathen pretty much here

Dayum. After reading most of that thread... seems like they used a lot of words when "gfys" would have done just as well.

I have the urge to make tons more spoilerific icons.

This is easy to solve. In IE, go to Tools, then Internet Options, then Advanced, and check that little box that says "Show pictures." You see? No more annoying visual spoilers!

[info]ipomoea
2003-09-30 11:30 pm UTC (link)
Yep. Saw this one coming a mile off. Once MLH jumped in I was just counting down to when it would hit f_w. She kinda reminds me of some people I've seen in the Buffy fandom who used to freak out over people discussing the promos for the next week's episode because they wanted to keep themselves completely pure and untainted for the next week's episode. All I have to say to that is dude, if it's out there as promotional material, it isn't a spoiler.

The wankiest, though, was telling people what they can and can't post, considering they're not even friends with her. Somebody needs a "Get the fuck over yourself" bitchslap to the head for that.

My favorite bit is where the girl is complaining that her c-section is scheduled for the week of the premiere and then says "(oh yeah, pregnant btw)".

And you thought priorities were screwed up in the Duran wank! Scheduled c-sections usually mean trouble is expected.

Gah. This is just like an argument I saw over Angel spoilers not too long ago, wherein one side's definition of spoilers (*anything* before the actual airing of the show, up to and including the *opening credits*) differed from the other side's (the more traditional "spoils a plot point.") And it reminds me of the HP fen who were bitching when Scholastic released a picture of the HP5 cover to use in promo material.

The thing I don't get is the spoiled (people who, by their own admission, have a very different definition of "spoiler" than others) getting PISSED and calling other people "inconsiderate" and "rude" and claiming that they're "spoiling my enjoyment" of the show/movie/book, etc. when they discuss PICTURES! Pictures, for god sake, not plot points!

Dude, you wanna be a virgin? It's your responsibility to stay that way. Don't go on the internet, don't go to the movies, don't watch TV, don't read magazines - hey, go live under a rock in Tibet and spare everyone else the complaining, okay?

Am ranting and wanky myself. Sorry.

My personal favorite was the whining about the pictures giving away the "look and feel of the movie." Because, ya know, it's the third of a trilogy, and we still don't know what look and feel PJ is going for.

LOL ahhh the sweet sweet wank. They even had my blood pressure going up towards the end, especially with "could you not make any icons of ROTK until after the movie?" As if. LOL have the sudden urge to prove myself a truly vile human being and whip up a nice hooded Leggy icon and post an innocent comment in her LJ.

Here I always thought the definition of spoiler was something that would "spoil" the movie for you. Not a random picture of Legolas in a hood. It's really hard to aruge that *anything* is a spoiler in LOTR because the book has been out for oh..say... 50 years or so? So to me, the true spoilers would be those scense that aren't in the book that PJ adds in.

P.S. I think that's gone beyond the point of a 'mini' ROTK wank into full-fledged wankdom. I think I might have to keep an eye on m_l_h for awhile. Sounds like some prime wanking material there.
