    I dont even know where to start with this comparison. There are no words to froce sense into the brain that created this pararelism so I wont even try . If you think that not wanting someone to do something that you dislike(subjectively) is the same as being hit I cant help it. Just burn after reading.

    You need to punch him back or you are disrespecting him. He expects to be punched back, and if it doesn't happen, he won't have his face punching good time.
    I guess its contagious. We have some guys here that think that is cool to force other people to not discuss (or avoid it) about something from an actual episode (I dont give a fuck if its minute 1 or 24) because they dont like it, a selfish infatuation, and if you tell them that they are forcing that on you they even get mad an start relating you to some kind of aggression paralelisms. At least no one used the nazi word yet

    ps. I dont actually give a fuck about preview, never watch them cause I get sick of seeing the same endings again and again, and lately the ending music is garbage. But its part of the episode. So the normal is that it gets (or could get) inside an episode discussion. Asking to avoid it is the aberrant action.

    I don't understand why you think people who don't want to know about episode events before they happen are being selfish but people who do want that are somehow being altruistic or something?

    Both sides are being equally selfish in that instance. Both sides are trying to force the other side to abide be their beliefs. Trying to paint one side as heroes there and the other as villains when they're both doing EXACTLY the same thing is just dumb.

    Ah, so it's okay to be spoiled then as long as the studio is shitty at making previews. Good to know. Very quantifiable that.

    It's hyperbole. Nobody watches(watched) Breaking Bad previews, and nobody tolerated anyone around them discussing them in earshot either.

    And I'm sorry if you care so little about the people you are so desperate to discuss a thing you both enjoy with that you don't care if you're making the experience less enjoyable for them in the process, because the 15 second clip at the end that has no relation to the actual episode you just watched simply cannon pass without comment.

    It's insanely irrational and egotistical to insist that, in an discussion about things that happened in the current episode, that the preview(which is a collection of things that happen in the NEXT episode) has to be discussed as well.

    I cant believe that they dont actually see the fundamental difference between those two. I guess that socialdemocracy neo-language and brainwashing made it that far.
    Episode previews in the constitution? What the fuck are you babbling about?

    I dont have enough mastery of the language to get into deeper explanation about this. I will just say that you are saying that the right to not know of some subjetive part is above the right of speech of something that its inside the episode that is being discussed. I cant explain how absurd the "right to not know of something inside the episode" sounds in my mind.

    Alright, fair enough.

    I just don't understand what "right to free speech" has to do with anything.

    This is not a free speech environment. We have to abide by the rules the mods decide on here.

    Technically, your constitutional right to free speech should mean you can talk about the manga in anime threads. But I don't see you getting up on a soapbox about that.

    Dial down the snark, it's making you overreach; discussion thread means discussion of any and all content of which the thread was created for, and episode previews (I still can't believe this) are part of that content.

    It's insanely irrational and egotistical to insist that, in an discussion about things that happened in the current episode, that the preview(which is a collection of things that happen in the NEXT episode) has to be discussed as well.
    Even though you flatter me by mirroring my sentence usage, please don't put words in my mouth. I've never said a preview has to be discussed, just that it's insane to not want it to; you don't have the right to not know, only the right to not participate.

    And they BOTH said I was free to continue discussing it, even though they wouldn't change their minds.

    So I did.

    If you don't like it, nothing is forcing you to keep reading.
    Nobody had called you fucking stupid either, all this irrational discussion has got you hallucinating.

    Funny coming from the first person in this thread to actually respond venomously to it.

    They really aren't. They're commercials for the next episode that happen to air right at the end of the current episode. They put them after the credits for a reason.

    A simple Ctrl-F will show that you're wrong.

    (A) I'm the only person to use the term "fucking stupid" and it clearly refers to the concept that an episode preview is a spoiler (comparing it to saying the OP/ED is a spoiler in that same way), not an individual. The reasoning, not a person. But hey, egotism. I called you a whiner only...which ya are.

    (B) Previews are not always at the end of the credits. They're quite frequently in the middle of the ED, so they're most certainly not commercials that just "happen to air right after." They are part of the episode. I can't believe how many times we have to reiterate this.

    edit:
    Since you'll just refuse to believe me, some examples:
    - Suisei no Gargantia
    - Magi Season 1
