The reveal of previously unknown aspects of a story, except what is "revealed" is misinformation.
Anti-spoilers are a form of anti-joke.
You: "Where are you in the series? Has Hermione been killed yet?"
Friend "Wft dude! I didn't know she dies."
Much later, friend discovers that Hermione actually lives.
. . .
Another example...
"Tyler made me think that the whole story took place inside of a dream, but apparently it was an anti-spoiler. Bastard!"
. . .
Pepper enough anti-spoilers into conversations and you'll no longer be at risk of accidentally spoiling something, because no one will know if they should take you seriously.
When you find out a critical plot element from a movie/game/book, and it only makes you want to see it more, instead of "spoiling" it.
There's a main character switch in Metal Gear Solid 2, two hours in!? now i'm interested. thanks for the anti-spoiler
