I never given a single shit about spoilers ever.  Mostly because I've always been so late to the party that it is beyond the acceptable timeframe for not spoiling anything.  Still, I don't see how it would ruin my enjoyment of a movie, TV show, or game.

[Great Rumbler]

Still, there's something enjoyable about twists and surprises.  They're not without value.  A good movie is good regardless, but it's even better if it can fuck with your expectations.

I think people should aspire to not be a dick about spoilers, even if it's something old, but I think what constitutes being a dick becomes an increasingly small set of behaviours the older a work gets.  For something 80 years old or w/e, I think the extent of not being a dick about spoilers amounts to not deliberately telling someone who is unfamiliar with the work and intends to watch/read/play it in the near future.  eg, if someone's like, "Aw yeah, gonna go watch Citizen Kane this afternoon, don't know shit about it", it would be dick-ish to say to that guy "Rosebud was his sled, enjoy the fucking movie", but that's about it.

People on GAF freak out when someone mentions things that were featured prominently in trailers, though.

Whats negging? You guys need to keep my up to date with your slang

A neg is a backhanded compliment, usually said by a man to a woman, to surprise and/or annoy her so she does a double take and tries to prove her value to the man. Negging comes from the Pick Up Artist community and was a very popular method suggested to men who wanted to take very attractive women "down a notch" in the mid 2000s.

It is offensive for a girl to cover her drink like your a rapist upon first meeting you. That shouldn't be hard to understand. I understand the girl may think that due to surrounding influence, but its perfectly right for a guy to take offense from it.

I remember years ago that gaffers were trying to explain in uncomfortably awkward posts about why bars were shit and that they didn't need to follow these hollow social rituals.

I don't know, I've never seen girls cover up their drinks.  Maybe some of these gaffers are just better off not going to bars and spending their foreveralone nights jerking it to a ghibli film.  Not everyone is cut out to be a social butterfly and if they're too thin skinned and too easily offended, they're never going to hack it in the social world.  It isn't up to either men or women to prop up these special little snowflakes who crumble at the most minor of slights, if they were even slighted in the first place.  Narcissism and social awkwardness coupled with the dunning kruger effect is not a good look.

[Steve Contra]

A friend of mine called me maybe 7 years ago when she felt she had been drugged.  When I came to pick her up she was totally out.  We took her to the hospital etc. My friend has been a bartender for quite some time and he'll often toss out a girls drink and repour it if she leaves it unattended for a little while.  He's had to call the cops multiple times when he suspects a girl has been drugged, and they now have cameras watching the outside for just this.  Not very fun.

[king of the internet]

Why waste time and money with drugs and drinks when you can get the same results with a blunt object in a dark alleyway?

Never seen it, but I've heard of it.  Seems wise to be cautious considering how fucked up people can be.

It's more about the systematic problem and the way it removes the individual's chance to to be seen. There's some very problematic things with the way the rape issue is being handled by many involved.

I have no idea what this even means.  But no, girls can pretty much take any pre-caution they need to in order to not get raped.  They don't owe some guy at a bar anything.

[Flannel Boy]

If I ever did see a girl covering her drink while I was talking to her, I would just assume it was to guard against stealth rapists sneaking up from behind while her attention was on me.

I would assume that (in a scenario where I'm not a shut-in) she was guarding the drink from me. In both instances we're mind-reading, but your cognitive distortion leads to fewer emotional problems. 

There are a lot more important signals to consider than where her palm is. Eye contact, attentiveness, smiling, laughing if you say something funny, etc.

-What does a woman put behind her ears to make herself more attractive?

-I don't know. teehee.

-Her ankles!

Can't help but balk at the strong stench of <vader>The "but i'm a nice guy!" is strong with this one</vader> in the rape/palm thread.

It's good to know a lot of that DNA is never getting passed on.

I'm surprised someone hasn't suggested women drink through one of these whilst saying "i don't see what is unreasonable about that"

It's not about owing a guy anything. I don't know why you think that is the point. it is something that can be taken as offensive and it's perfectly legit to be offended by it. (I am repeating my earlier statement because sometimes it takes three utterances for an idea to find passage through the muck of the forum.) Also, it is something that will lead to issues down the road. You can't be influencing fear of male sexuality and making it okay to treat all males as rapists just as you can't treat any group as any horrible thing by default. Well I guess you can do that, but you shouldn't.  Not just in that its a form of misandry, but that it may ultimately prove harmful towards improving rape awareness. To me, it creates new fears and thus new confusion, and fear and confusion tends to create silence rather than discussion. This latter point is not my main point in response, but more an explanation of my previous comment. The main point is that it's something that holds plenty of power to offend people and for good reason, so why does that fact blow people's minds? Let people be offended by it. If you can't allow that then you're backing up the misandry and any sad attempts to hide it behind "Because you're disgusting and she should" even though you don't know the individuals involved is fooling nobody.

Yes, this is another lecture from me. Don't deal with it. Learn from it.

[Great Rumbler]

It's sad that girls don't think more about the precious feelings of shut-in internet nerds that they're damaging when they're taking precautions to avoid being drugged in a bar and then raped. So sad.
