This is my answer for life and I will gladly die upon this hill.

The assumption that everyone has seen the movies you've seen is really fucking weird. There are young, healthy, sapient, literate humans scrawling the internet every day that have no idea what happens in <your favorite movie from the 70s, 80s, or 90s> and it's weird that you would include those people in your arbitrary spoiler timer. Why punish 15 year olds for not being up to date with all of your favorite 30 year old movies?

Exactly. This comes up with comic books all the time, too. A lot of heartless people just assume that new stories are fair game after a few months. Meanwhile there are new readers every day, looking back and discovering everything for the first time.
