For a moment, I actually thought a mod edited OP's post to that
People care to much about a lot of stupid shit, just look at shippers.
I mean, this wasn't even kind of accurate when you posted it, but
it didn't even hold up for half an hour either way.

The game has an insane amount of cutscenes and it murders the pacing and is easily the worst part of the game.
The part about KH2 that everyone forgets about is that the worst part isn't the batshit story stuff, it's the inane, emotionless story stuff.
They rehash old Disney movies soooooo slowly and redo the scenes with no emotion and they end up having hours and hours of pacing ruining cutscenes.
The origin story (new title): [KH2 spoils] Lord Nomura's brilliant editing precludes need to animate cloak removal

There is a hundred thousand times more story-driven content than you could ever plausibly consume in your lifetime, and more generated every second. What *is* the matter if some of it is "spoiled" for you? Spoiling does no harm to you in and of itself. The only reasonable personal concern about spoilers regards content you actually intend to consume, where the information revealed damages the experience you were hoping for.
Socially, considerations for your audience cannot realistically trend to "nothing can be spoiled," or life turns into a Key and Peele sketch. We rely on context and cues from cultural consciousness to determine what's acceptable in conversation.
A NeoGAF post can be tricky by comparison since any given post, or thread, will have thousands of diverse eyeballs on it, and we don't have the benefit of that real-world context, so we encourage (and in some cases, like currently airing TV show discussion threads, explicitly enforce) consideration about potentially spoiling others. However, this is a discussion forum, and without limits on what must be tip-toed around for the sake of an extreme edge case, we harm the capacity for and merit of discussion here.
You are not entitled to an impermeable protective bubble against all story details you haven't yet experienced first-hand -- anywhere -- and such a position would be detrimental to effective moderation here.
I can't wait till all the newbies over-reacting about this thread actually play this scene and think to themselves "That's it?"
I love that sentence.
I love that sentence.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
I think it's context sensitive, yeah.
Really obvious* stuff doesn't need to be spoiler tagged. Something that could potentially sour or otherwise change a person's attitude towards an event or experience should be.
*Culturally common knowledge (Darth Vader is Luke's father)
*Something that is bound to happen (see tag)
*Something that's inconsequential (Tidus rides a boat in Final Fantasy X) <-- yes, people in today's culture might get upset about this
Goofy getting hit by a rock is not a spoiler. In fact the entire premise of the OP is about how dumb that scene is because of how obvious it is even to the least perceptive of players that Goofy isn't going to die. If the OP made a topic saying something like
THIS IS HYPOTHETICAL
How dumb is it that Terra is never saved in Kingdom Hearts 3!
That's a real spoiler. It's a key point of the plot most people don't know of yet and are looking forward to experiencing for themselves.
The weird thing about this thread is how the OP phrased it. It made it seem like a spoiler, and to be frank, in 99% of games it probably would be, but it's actually not because of how fucking weird the KH cutscenes are.
Just my two cents.
I thought Kylo killed him.
That's the mildest insult I've seen in this thread, and hell, I still don't think that's shitting on him. If the post was just "op is an ass" I'd agree, but it's "op is an ass for doing something like this" which, while I don't agree with personally, isn't just an insult, it's closer to criticism of OP's actions.

Watch it come true in KH3.
Not really, just a poorly worded post
I have to praise you on the clever gotcha post, though. Almost as clever as all the meme spoiler posts itt.
im reading the whole thread with this playing
this is why we made internet
But does that mean you can spoil what happens to the Battlestar Galactica?

I would not assume such things about Kingdom Hearts. When Goofy died in KH2, his body was probably invaded by an alternate universe version of him. In this other universe, there would be a bloody conflict where the ill King Mickey's shady adviser, Xeavidanus, outlawed believing in friendship. The citizens revolted, but the military deployed an army of Goofies, mass-produced from cloning vats with upside-down black hearts on them. This conflict was dubbed la Guerre de la Gawrsh. When the KH2 Goofy died, his consciousness was swapped with one of those Goofy clones that also bit the dust at the exact same moment. This clone, who is revealed to be called Emptinoth, is spying on the gang and relays information to Malificent, whom he refers to as "Mommy". He starts doubting his mission throughout the course of KH3 though, as he slowly learns that friendship might be worth believing in after all.

I suppose that's one way you could choose to look at it, but a great deal of what I've been reading seems to be focused on the key aspect of keeping spoilers out of thread titles, which is a far cry from seeking said impenetrable bubble and more of a middle ground. You're going to get people wanting extremes on both sides, sure, but I don't think it boiled down the way it's being characterized. I don't know what I'm griping about, the title was changed though I don't claim to know the intent behind that.
I don't think either side was being that unreasonable. On the one hand, it's a game over a decade old. On the other hand, it recently got an influx of new players and the spoiler was in an incredibly prominent place. No one (or very few) were asking for an impenetrable bubble any more than anyone was asking for spoilers to be a free-for-all as a blanket ruling.
what the fuck is going on in this thread
these titles omg
😂😂😂😂

These two posts should be quoted or referenced any time someone goes overly "muh spoilers" on GAF tbh. Good stuff.
Almost made me burst out laughing at work.
