On the one hand, I totally understand the desire to avoid spoilers. I get that people like being surprised and going into things fresh, especially when the spoiler concerned something that could affect your experience. Also, people absolutely can be dicks about these things and will purposely spoil things just to try and ruin it for others.
On the other hand, I think people who are concerned about spoilers need to be more realistic about things. In the case of something like Endgame or the final season of Game of Thrones, you can't expect millions of people to just not talk about it until you've caught up. Like I said, there are some people who are just dicks and won't extend the small courtesy of waiting a while (I'm talking like a day maybe here) to talk about something in detail. However, I wager that's not really most people and the truth is you're just behind the curve a bit. It shouldn't be that hard to just not get on Twitter for a few hours until you've seen the newest episode of Attack on Titan or whatever.
We also need to be clearer on what a "spoiler" actually is. For example, some folks called Mewtwo being revealed in the second Detective Pikachu trailer a spoiler and I'm like, "How?" We don't know what his role in the plot is nor the context of the small snippet we saw of him. I understand wanting to be surprised by things, but being obsessed about it to the point that you don't want companies to show anything is how we get silliness like that one Star Trek movie not telling us Khan was Khan even though we all knew it was Khan.
As a final note, I think the "geek" sphere especially needs to be self aware about the fact that we consume media in a very different way than most people. Most people only really see movie trailers when they go to the movies or when commercials start hitting. Folks like your average Era user tend to pour over every trailer, TV spot, interview, screenshot, set visit, leak, etc. When you're that engrossed in things, you're going to get spoiled sometimes. Hell, even things that aren't necessarily spoilers might come across that way because we consume SO MUCH media that we have an easier time spotting tropes or patterns.
So TL;DR, I get it. I really do. However, you gotta be realistic and remember it's ultimately not a big deal.
