Leak and Spoiler Issues *SAFE*
With all the new promotional material coming out recently, I've noticed that there's been more discussion of leaks on some of those posts as well. I have read the books, so I'm not talking about book spoilers, though I think we could be more considerate about those as well. A lot of people are good about tagging things, but there are still several people referencing the leaks and vague-posting about them in comment sections on promo material without any tags or warnings, so I've come across more information about this season than I would have liked even though I try to be really careful. I'm not saying that people shouldn't discuss the leaks here at all, but I feel like the ASOIAF fandom has a really cavalier attitude towards spoilers in general. I just thought it was worth the reminder that this season is not out yet, leaks are not the intended way for us to experience the show, and that it makes people feel like they can't participate in the fandom and sub if they can't avoid spoilers for something that hasn't even been released. Hope this didn't come off too preachy!
