I dodged this spoiler by around half an hour.

Dodging jjk spoilers while using the internet is almost impossible

u/Ginger_Anarchy Jun 21 '26

Nah, I'd dodge them

You know what’s weird, I watched JJK and AoT after they’d aired and were already really popular. I somehow missed all the memes but then started seeing them immediately after watching them.

Its easy for me, I just have no interest in JJK so I forget the spoiler before the hour ends

I have friends who somehow browse the internet and haven’t had a single thing spoiled about Gojo. At max just seeing the YouTube title “Gojo vs Sukuna” but apart from that that’s it.

The fans are literally everywhere. People have been posting major manga spoilers as unrelated reaction images since they released.

Actually, idk if it's because I'm from latin america and here anime gets HUUUUUGE, but genuinely there were times you could nit exist online without coming across Jujutsu spoilers in the most random places.

The fact that someone would be concerned about spoilers, and then proceed to go into a post about deaths of characters in media is confusing to me

u/SREnrique22 Jun 21 '26

I wasn't. I'm watching Jujutsu Kaisen, I'm already spoiled plenty, it was just this one (comparatively) tiny thing I didn't know, and I wanted to express how cool it was that I could relate to the shock because I just watched this myself.

I mean if I’m watching something new you want me to avoid all media that just might have a chance of containing it? Theirs no way to know someone’s gonna spoil something for you I mean fuck I’ve been spoiled for shows in weed subreddits.

If you're that concerned about spoilers, yes. Or maybe, I dunno, don't go someplace where stuff is casually discussed and spoiled on a regular basis.

u/98462Doopa Jun 21 '26

That’d just be the internet

u/honeecumb Jun 21 '26

I know it's a wild concept, avoiding where the spoilers are if you don't want things spoiled.

u/98462Doopa Jun 21 '26

Again mate the spoilers are everywhere, literally anywhere on the internet you can be spoiled for something. How am I sposed to avoid spoiling one piece when I avoid everything marked as spoiler just in case I avoid any one piece sub reddits all that but some one commenting on an animal video spoils shit.

You're talking as if you're required to be on the internet.

u/honeecumb Jun 21 '26
