When I was in college, my then girlfriend texted me that she was watching Jojo Rabbit. She knew it was one of my favorite movies, and said that she loved it too. She was talking about how Scarlett Johannson's shoes almost have their own personality. So I said,

yeah, it's devastating when you notice her shoes on the hanging body.

Turns out she had paused the movie to make some dinner, and hadn't seen this part yet. Needless to say, she was PISSED!

It's probably not as bad as some of the comments I'm reading here, but it was about Demon Salyer. I met my wife's little cousin (she is 12yo) about a month ago, and she was talking about anime (Demon Slayer, in this case) and she asked me who my favorite character was.

I had finished the manga, so I told her that I didn't have any because none of them really spoke to me and asked her what was her favorite. She said it was Shinobu because it was "her comfort character" (I had no clue what that meant at that moment), and not having thought about the fact that not everyone read the manga, I immediately said that:

I realized my fuck up when she started just tearing up, didn't know what to do so I said I was really sorry and left.
