My point is the spoilers only ruin the experience if you let them.
I have to disagree with that. I really think that the way spoilers affect people varies depending on their personality. Some people are just more sensitive to it than others. Some people prefer to read the last page of their book first, and some people would literally not read a book or see a movie if they knew how it ended.
It's never a good idea to tell people how they should or shouldn't feel about something. They just do, and someone (condescendingly, usually) telling them they're being a baby about it doesn't change the fact that they feel that way.
