    I still fondly remember when a new harry potter book was released in the aughts, trolls on SomethingAwful were spamming “snape kills dumbledore” everywhere and so the mods threatened bans for anyone who didn’t use spoiler tags. Some clever troll posted [SPOILER]SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE[/SPOILER] as a thread title, spoiler tags don’t work in titles, mods left it up because why not.

      when that book (half blood prince?) came out here in the uk, on day one people put big banners over a couple motorways with SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE on them lol
      they got early copies through a delivery truck crashing a week before iirc
