So if a spoiler is always a spoiler regardless of cultural spread, do you take umbrage to all the "No, I am your father" references that have appeared over the years?

I was referring to the idea of certain cultural references growing beyond their source material (I think calling this a meme is still accurate, but to the idea of an internet meme).

my point is if you can avoid spoiling something for someone then avoid it. you seem to WANT to spoil things for people and youre wanting others to tell you its ok to do so.

My goal in starting this thread was to see whether people thought there was any nuance to the argument of flagging/ not flagging spoilers. Your opinion seems to be fairly black and white, which is your right.

Nowhere have I advocated intentionally spoiling things for people.

Edit: just saw your other reply. Feels like we're more or less on the same page.
