On One Piece Spoilers and Fan Wikis
I would love a fan wiki designed to be anti-spoiler So I've been watching Babylon 5 a tv show from the 1990s, but I'm still on the first season. It's almost impossible to look anything up without being spoiled on subsequent seasons so I just don't look anything up at all.
I wish there was a way to set my current progress through the series and just have anything past that be spoiler tagged. This does not seem to be a thing on any series fan wiki but it would be cool if it was.
This is also the case with One Piece where I'm up to date with the english dub, but the Japanese anime and manga are far enough ahead with existing characters I might want to look up that I don't feel good about looking up anything. - tekgo on cohost
Not to derail an (entirely correct) point, but One Piece is specifically what changed my habit of looking things up constantly, because even being up-to-date with the JP anime leaves me a year or so behind. It helps that the OP community is historically very good about not posting spoilers in open forums.
Not at all saying you shouldn't be looking things up, but I'm much happier with a less curatorial approach to media.
At this point we'll be watching an episode and my partner will be like "Wait, Brutus McGrutus? Isn't he Señor Planetfucker's secret son? I'm sure they mentioned that 700 episodes ago" and instead of digging into the question I'll just think back and be like "Well it wasn't in the pre-episode recap, so either way it isn't relevant here."
Then 3 episodes later McGrutus will be like "*This is for you, **Papa***" as he dons a sombrero and it's a win-win: my partner gets to be all smug about remembering that detail, and I get to experience the twist without google showing me a bunch of images of him in his new outfit.

Incidentally, the use of the word "historically" is a bit of a cop-out, as a big reason I started unfollowing people on Twitter during covid was a big influx of new fans who only know how to enjoy things by posting about them.
I'm very glad you're enjoying meeting Sanji for the first time, but please think twice about joining a fan discord then reposting their art across to other sites with captions like "holy shit I can't wait to see this happen" for some massive reveal that happened within the last couple of chapters of the manga.
This happened multiple times in 2022, and I've only just cleared those parts in the anime.
