WARNING: THERE MAY BE SPOILERS FOR EVERY SINGLE BIT OF MEDIA PRODUCED SINCE THE DAWN OF TIME IN THE COMMENTS. SPOILERPHOBES, BEWARE!


Over in fanficrants, auburnmaven posts a rant about being spoiled for an anime series by reading the summary of a fic. Discussion ensues.


The highlight is this thread, featuring noracharles (My point is, I think it's perfectly reasonable and doable to want to avoid spoilers, and to therefore stay away from places where spoilers are likely to be found. In smaller fandoms it can be difficult, but that's life.) and feywood (That's life? Oh that's the lamest excuse ever. "I'm sorry, we'll have to chop your hand off, but that's life." "I'm sorry, you'll have to warn for spoilers till perpetuity, but that's life.").

Small but headdesky wank from wank_report  , my one-stop shopping source for wank in fandoms I'm not personally involved in.

nakomislona posts to blackstones, a community for NANA (manga/anime/movie) fans. nakomislona admits to spending an hour trying to figure out character parantage. Specifically, she is trying to figure out

(I personally have no idea who these characters are, and found that my ignorance did not at all detract from my enjoyment of the wank that ensued.)

nakomislona puts forth detailed information but determines it "too close to call," opening it up to the community for discussion.

Commenters are, for the most part, reasonable and reasoned, going back and forth about the facts vs. their shipping preferences without wank... for the most part. There is one very special snowflake: the_sweet, who's trying to make herself appear as the comm wapanophile Designated Authority on Japan (and NANA character parentage) because she lived there and she taught there.

In an otherwise small post, she's all up in there.
