It's a pretty basic "question", despite (spoilers) it not actually a question yet... There are spoilers that you can say and everyone is fine with, even if there's that one person who's never seen where the spoiler came from in the first place... and then there are spoilers that should never be spoken of in general, even if that one person just doesn't care for spoilers to begin with...
For example, most of the deaths in those classic Disney films can be spoiled without any remorse, since either we believe that everyone knows about them beforehand or we've reached the point that they're not considered "spoilers" anymore, given the circumstances... However, anything involving certain scenes in Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones or (in terms of Disney) most recent Pixar films or the (upcoming) movie Frozen should not be spoiled unless those hearing it have some idea what they're getting themselves into... or, "sometimes", already knowing the spoiler beforehand...[footnote]Yeah...I can't think of "good" examples, since I never really cared for spoilers in the first place...[/footnote]
I know I'm kinda having a hard time explaining the whole purpose of this thread, but to put it simply... What kind of spoilers can be spoiled without using a "spoiler tag" regardless of the situation and which spoilers just need that "spoiler tag", since they're being spoken in a situation that would deem it "unjustifiable" or a rude thing to do in general?
(And, yes... I'm well aware of the "upcoming" spoilers to come before finishing this particular statement in "spoiler-free" parentheses...)
