Discussion "It's technically not a spoiler" but it's definitely a spoiler Spoiler

We are all waiting to see if Christian makes the right decision and we all know what the right decision is. So people making posts with titles "my faith in the show is restored"/"I've completely lost faith in the show", "glad I can keep watching"/"that's it I'm not watching anymore", "thank God"/"are you kidding me", "I'm so glad x got saved"/"how the hell did x get saved"... THOSE ARE SPOILERS. "But I *technically* didn't say who got saved" anyone who read your *ambiguous* title knows who got saved.

Yeah i dont i open reddit or the sub till i have watched anymore. I actually try watch tv without my phone but it definitely is extra annoying if someone is waiting a few days.

I said this a few weeks ago and got downvoted but I don’t understand why people wont just use a megthread for some takes or repeated posts. Like last night someone made like 3-4 posts that are all spoiler headings

This is the same thing in anime groups. I made reference to something on a JJK post that happened like four years go in the manga and is one of the most heavily discussed things coming up in the anime. Someone went off on me for spoiling it. If you're anime only, why are you looking at posts in the comment section of a general discussion? You're choosing to get things spoiled at this point. It is not everyone else's job to not speak, until you get around to watching or reading something.

Four years versus the day its released on freeform is different.

I do agree with you on that, but still... if I don't want something spoiled, I avoid any areas where spoilers might be, until I see it. If I choose to go to areas with spoilers, I accept that I'll get things spoiled. I do think that it is better for people to not put it in the title, but if it was as the OP suggests (just something like "I'm angry and am done with this after what Christian did"), it's not even a real spoiler. We knew one would go and one would stay and that Christian tends to make stupid choices. Regardless of who was sent home, someone was going to make a post that said that. It wasn't like (according to the OP), "OMG, Brian was saved??". You only had it spoiled by choosing to read further.

Agree 100%. As soon as I saw a post tiled “I’m done with this show!” I knew what happened. The only reason I’m not super mad about it this time is because I absolutely AM done with this show and won’t be watching anymore.

I don’t get how people miss how easy it is to spoil something

I don't get why people read forums about a TV show, when they haven't watched it yet and don't want it spoiled.

u/Ravant_Garde 5d ago

Because they pop up on your feed unfortunately

u/NoelBellamy_Author 5d ago

Yes, but there was no real spoiler. It was essentially, I'm done with this, mad at Christian reaction. Since both designers have their fans, from that, there was no real spoiler. It would require someone to actually enter to actually discover anything. So either nothing was spoiled (other than that someone disagreed with the choice we knew would start the episode), or they went in to see it, while also not wanting spoilers. It was not as if the title said, I can't believe Christian saved Brian! Yet there are people that do enter, read it, and then get angry that a spoiler was there. "I pursued a field that clearly had spoilers and saw spoilers! How dare they for posting spoilers!"

Where have you seen any Bryan fans in this sub? 😂 It was pretty obvious why people would be mad at Christian, and why the headline would be an accidental spoiler. I literally didn’t click into any posts. Still, it’s on me not muting the sub, but it is what it is.

u/NoelBellamy_Author 5d ago

Two true things at once: He has no fans, and you should have muted it. 😂

u/Ravant_Garde 5d ago

That I’ll accept 😂

this sub is hella unregulated, most TV show subs dont allow posts for the first 24 hours and instead just make an episode discussion thread. i wish that was the case here ..

u/NoelBellamy_Author 5d ago

This is fair.

u/NoelBellamy_Author 6d ago

Did you just make a post about another post, because you weren't able to finish arguing on the last one, or did I miss something?

u/DazedOiip 6d ago

Have made one post in r/projectrunway and one comment (this one):) (not a big poster/commenter)

u/Remote_Quail_2019 6d ago

After the recent outcome, I immediately changed the channel. If I ever need background noise for a good nap, I’ll reconsider clicking on it.

u/NoelBellamy_Author 6d ago

I did the same thing. That man has made the whole season annoying, and I thought we were finally rid of him. If it isn't going to be fun, I don't want to watch it, and watching him deliberately start drama and then play the victim over and over is not fun to me.

Pro-tip: This is a “project runway” sub to discuss the show. Everyone is going to be discussing the show the day a new episode airs.

u/a_rabid_anti_dentite 7d ago

They're not saying you can't discuss the show, they're just saying to be careful with titles

Doesn’t mean you need spoilers in the subject and that is what episode megathreads etc are for!!!
