Friendly Reminder
Added 2024-12-28 12:38:15 +0000 UTCHi lovelies,
I hope everyone is doing well.
I just wanted to get this off my chest because it's happening quite frequently and I know it's not coming from malice. I know it's everyone excited about me watching the show and hitting large plot points.
But please do not confirm anything to me if I have not come to that conclusion myself. Please do not direct or guide my attention. Such as:
- If I have not discussed it - do not mention it.
- If I have not raised the question - do not pose the question.
- If I have not picked up on something - do not correct and draw my attention to it especially if it's important or will be important.
Please ONLY discuss with me what I have mentioned in my outro rather than correcting me even if it's a misinterpretation because the show WILL correct me itself in time.
You also need to remember that you all have the benefit of having watched this show multiple times. I am watching for the first time. I will not pick up on everything. Hindsight is 20/20 but give me the benefit and credit to figure it out for myself as a grown woman.
Drawing my attention to key things is not allowing me to figure it out for myself. It's hand holding and not allowing me the opportunity to experience the show as it is designed and intended.
So in future please hold back and I know that it's hard to do so but if I have not come to a conclusion on something then confirming it as a fact or correcting it as a fact is going to spoil my experience.
I have been letting it slide as multiple people have let their excitement get the better of them (which I whole-heartedly understand) but I don't want to have to start ignoring comments on Patreon for risk of having my attention diverted or something being confirmed when I haven't made that conclusion.
I do appreciate you all so much but please be mindful in future โค๏ธ
Comments
what you could do is ask for someone to go over your comment sections as a patreon and flag if its safe or not. There are big spoilers that can be told in 2 words.

2025-01-01 17:07:18 +0000 UTCAw it's okay! I get that people are just excited so I don't get annoyed by it. People are very good in holding themselves back but sometimes little things slip up. It is what it is though โค๏ธ

2024-12-29 16:58:21 +0000 UTCUnfortunately moderation only works for chat and not comments on posts ๐ I've 2 moderators on here but they can't do anything beyond the community chat. Silly Patreon!
Sophie Anders
2024-12-29 16:57:22 +0000 UTCYou should consider having moderators for your Patreon to catch any issues before you notice them. Many people think spoilers only occur when they explicitly reveal details, but don't understand there is also spoiler by implication.

2024-12-29 15:46:29 +0000 UTCI feel really bad about this ๐ญ It happens to pretty much every reactor and unless you have somebody who can read through your comments and send screenshots of approved comments, you're bound to get spoiled one way or another, even if it isn't the commenter's intention. That's why I try not to comment too much on reaction videos of shows I've seen before because I don't want to influence the reactions in a certain way.

2024-12-29 04:18:12 +0000 UTCThis feels very AOT coded and it's a problem for all reactors, people just can't stop themselves to jump ahead in time and spoil future plot points

2024-12-28 19:24:04 +0000 UTCThe last kind is why I could NEVER DO react content on Twitch hahaha!!

2024-12-28 17:16:14 +0000 UTCThis is exactly why if I ever post anything about theories I am very strict about stating what I thought at the time I watched the episode so that I never talk about anything you hadn't seen yet. If only there were some way to force everyone to take a minute to think before they post. -_- Honestly I think there are a multitude of reasons people spoil, from the people who are just so excited to talk to you about their favorite thing, to those who can't understand their experiences aren't universal and assume you've thought the same things they have, to that one ass who jumped into twitch chat several years ago to all caps spam every character who died in Avengers Endgame and the last Harry Potter film because I guess it made them feel powerful? Here's hoping you stay safe from especially the last kind.

2024-12-28 16:42:04 +0000 UTCHopefully without spoiling, I can say that based on your outro talks, you haven't missed that much to require a rewatch. Of course, how much of the per episode content is retained longer to the end of the season, is a different topic. ๐ If you have the notes, I think you're doing fine.

2024-12-28 12:58:01 +0000 UTCIt does but it only lets them moderate the community chat which is really annoying haha!
Sophie Anders
2024-12-28 12:55:33 +0000 UTCSadly, this problem has always been there with other reactors too. Does patreon allow you to have mods? That would help (or not reading the comments but maybe it's a bit radical)

2024-12-28 12:51:48 +0000 UTCJust enjoy the ride no need to worry about every little detail like I said many things are said throughout the show several times so if you had missed something I am sure it will be brought up again in due time. I hope people will understand that even hyping a certain episode up is still risky.

2024-12-28 12:48:46 +0000 UTCI'm hoping I have time to re-watch S2 for my outro of Ep 12 haha!! Because I can be assured that I've definitely missed stuff or that I'll better be able to put things together having finished the entire series. Still haven't watched the last 2 episodes yet though!!
Sophie Anders
2024-12-28 12:45:25 +0000 UTCNo it doesnโt come off as spiteful. As someone who watched attack on titan multiple times and would give anything to watch it for the first time again it does aggravate me when people donโt let reactors figure things out for themselves as things in the show are mentioned several times itโs not like shows do not do a good job explaining what you need to know

2024-12-28 12:44:06 +0000 UTCI'm doing wonderful! Very much needed this break from filming even though I feel like I'm twiddling my thumbs doing nothing?! I completely get why people are so enthusiastic so I hope this doesn't come across as me being spiteful or putting people down. I adore how passionate everyone is but I just want to be trusted to figure it out for myself and to correct misinterpretations as I go through as others would have done when watching for the first time! โค๏ธ
Sophie Anders
2024-12-28 12:42:27 +0000 UTCYes this was always my biggest issue with every reactor community. Youโre smart youโll understand plot points on your own and finding out yourself makes the plot twist or the story a lot more engaging rather than just being told and confirmed. The point of a first watch is for the reactor to watch it for the first time while we watch from the side lines. Iโm glad youโre bringing this up Sophie and I hope you are doing well.
