Just to spell it out it’s more of a don’t give any clue to what it’s about so people don’t find out spoilers. Like when you tell someone oh this is a really nice family friendly film but it’s a horror, or telling someone a roller coaster isn’t that bad before they go on it. It keeps the suspense of the material in question, if you build up something too much (like saying said roller coaster is amazing but it then doesn’t live up to their expectations because you’ve overhyped it) then you’re not doing it any favours.

I doubt signposting is needed, urban decay = romance doesn't dignify a response, it is unworthy of refutation (also gang warfare is probably the most distinguishing feature). I doubt anyone would hold such a view, come now it’s a joke and I want people going it perception free so they can articulate what this remarkable series is for them. It's a masterpeice and people should go in unawares.

The 'lie'/sidestep the issues, was also for the blog - would you like to comment saying how nice the blog is?
