I just walked into a spoiler, I wasn't even looking for it.

How do you guys cope with something you yourself spoiled for you. I am so frustrated right now, I want to forget it, but like the rest of things I've been spoiled on, it has now become a permanent memory. It was just for few seconds, I just happened to read a title of a YouTube video and now I know that a specific character from an anime dies. (PLEASE DON'T SPOIL IN THE REPLIES, THANK YOU!)

Stop thinking about it and eventually you'll forget it

  I hope so.

  I hate to ruin this moment but by creating an entire thread you've basically burnt the spoiler into your mind. The best you can do if you encounter one again is to look away immediately and don't feel any emotion towards it. Negative or positive emotions will basically burn anything into your mind just like any other memories.
  
  TLDR, next time try to feel nothing towards the spoiler

Agreed with others, just put the show in question on hold and you'll eventually forget it. Otherways it adapting yourself to replacing the thought with another thought whenever thought of.

Honestly I just lie to myself and say how there's no way something like that happened. If I do it long enough I actually start to believe the spoiler is a lie.

I honestly hate that when you see video clips of a show you havent watched yet so annoying like bro

If you're this frustrated over the spoiler you probably wont forget about it. I dont really cope when it comes to spoilers, i just continue to watch the anime. Nothing you can do about it really,except unsubscribing to whoever made the video and/or click "not interested" on recommended videos relating to the anime you're watching to stop the loop of spoilers.

Honestly for high priority shows, just avoid any mention of the series and just watch it for yourself. If you see a spoiler for a show you really wanted to see, then hold off on it. Like for example, I was deep into AOT spoilers and now I have no clue what happens lol. Same with stuff like Code Geass S2 and One Piece

rewatch the entire anime about 15 times and you wont care about the spoiler

for me, even if i get spoiled for a certain part of a show, i dont mind it muchh because atleast the parts leading up to it will be a surprize

like say, you get spoiled about a certain character being a traitor. It may ruin the suspence but you still dont know why they turned traitor or how the reveal will go

i try to console myself by saying "its not about the end its about the journey" and thinking of it like i said above

  honestly it's about the impact the scene brings and not about what actually happens. if the plot twist is still executed well, then the impact will be good and it'll make you forget about your disappointment with the spoiler

  For spoilers on death it's still pretty similar, like how did they die. Only problem is that most people spoil deaths with how they died. :(
  EldritchHorror 4y
  oh yeah thats pretty annoying :( but sometimes getting spoiled on a death helps me not cry for hours afterward so,,, its not that bad atleast?

you endure the pain.
- yungsexist 4y
  yep

you cant, best thing you can do to avoid spoilers is to only interact with the community (whether it be forums, youtube, disc etc.) after you're caught up on both the anime AND manga, LN too if there is one, otherwise you're bound to get spoiled at some point or another.

It has happened to me more times than I can count at this point, so I'm kinda numb to spoilers for certain anime/manga. :p

You don't, I guess. Shit just happens sometimes.

If it helps, I'm sure a bunch of people went through the same several times, and in the end it will just come to pass. Besides, if you like the anime it won't really matter in the long run, it'll still be enjoyable to watch.

There is this app named spoiler protection 2.0 (you can just download it from google), all you need to do is write the name of the anime and every character in it and you will probably not get spoiled as long as you don't click on it. It helped me a lot with spoilers.

Pain.
