Stop Caring So Goddamn Much About Spoilers
If all a story has to go for it is a twist, it's not a good story. Knowing how a story will end doesn't ruin the story, it can enhance it. "This development frustrates me, in part because I fundamentally don't understand it. I can't imagine liking a story less because I knew how it ended in advance. A good piece of fiction should have more to recommend than the element of surprise. While I feel totally neutral toward spoilers for things I enjoy, I appreciate finding out that something has a disappointing twist ending before I waste an evening."
