Manga Only Crowd | Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Like most of you, I just finished the last episode of Demon Slayer. I was super excited to learn that a movie was greenlit to continue Tanjiro and Nezuko’s journey but was bummed by what came after. With the hype of the series, many fans have been drawn to speak on the series and their excitement of the film but others have taken a different path. On Twitter today, I must have seen 5-8 tweets containing spoilers of the film. It’s not cool.

With these tweets, if you are an anime fan, it’s cool to speak on your excitement of an arc you love being adapted but IT’S NOT OKAY to share screenshots of manga saying anime onlys aren’t ready. I can see if you are on the Kimetsu no Yaiba Subreddit and there is a clear spoiler tag but it’s really messed up to bring major spoilers out there without any real filter or layer of defense for people who HATE spoilers.

I’ve been a manga reader for many ongoing anime series. As much as you sometimes may feel like you have no one to talk to about these events that are taking place, there are much more people out there than you think that are going through the same thing. Find those people and share your thoughts/memes behind spoiler filters. Everyone has different levels of sensitivity to spoilers but it’s just annoying when you are spoiled with no warning when you were looking forwarding to enjoying it fresh.

I have a friend who cannot stand spoilers. I’ve known this for a while and put extra effort into making sure that I’m avoiding bringing any spoilers his way. If I did spoil something, he may not talk to me for weeks. This is where the spoiler sensitivity comes in. Some people have killed for less, to be honest, and we as a community should take more care and be more mindful of each other.

Sorry for this rant but it really boiled me up this morning. As annoyed as I was that I was spoiled, I was more annoyed of other people that have also walked into it. It’s almost impossible to avoid. If you are concerned about this happening to you, there are ways to filter out content like specific keywords on Twitter. Thanks for taking the time read this! I’d also love to hear your take on spoilers. Hit me in the comments below! Have a great week! Less rants in the future.
