Fake Spoilers
| Not as much of a dick move as throwing out an actual spoiler, but still somewhat of a dumb move. Although, throwing your friend off-base if they're expecting a death or something by telling them "nah, don't worry" might make 'em defenseless and therefore instigate a more 'harder' emotional reaction if someone DOES kick the bucket or whatnot.
If that uh, makes any sense.
| It still warps their perception of it, so it's still super rude.
| Did this with a friend, kind of.
Her : wow this character is neat
Me : well enjoy it while it lasts
Her : wha-- anon, does character die?
Me : dont worry about it
And she played through really anxious, or maybe anticipating character's death. When she finished and nothing happened, i got an earful, but after that we just laughed it off.
| I have mastered the art of the pokerface when rewatching with first-time watchers.
Also the art of saying the words "you'll see soon enough" in the most neutral way possible.
Truly a useless mastery. What has my life become ?

| For example when I tell my friend "someone is gonna die huehue." when she is halfway thru a game but no death actually happens. How much of a dick move is that? Can we even call it a spoiler?
