Where do you think they get the brains?
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Spoiler ettiquette question.
It makes me go batshit when people ask, "how did you see this, how do you know this?" in a spoiler thread.
Is "DO THE FRIGGIN MATH" an appropriate response?
Is it rude to ask someone where a spoiler came from? Am I a jackass?

Where do you think MM gets his zombies?
Wal-Mart?
Nah, that's where he gets the guns. And the braaaaaaains.
And I think we just learned why all of MM's zombie brain based plans fail.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is it rude to ask someone where a spoiler came from?
They're (probably) trying to establish cred and judge the veracity of the source. Because they don't know rep.
I'd shrug and say "rep." Those who know, know. Others may come to.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Is it rude to ask someone where a spoiler came from? Am I a jackass?
A simple, "I'm sorry, I can't reveal my sources."
Or Mwahahahahahahaha!

I have always considered it bad etiquette to ask. I think one of the values of lurking a little before jumping into every thread is learning where the sources of information are and how they get their info.

I think it's rude. I mean, if someone wants to share the source of their info, they'd do that when they posted the info.

Yes, this. It's a somewhat common spoiler ho practice, if someone brings a spoiler to ask, "Can you tell me where you read that," or "link please" or something. But it is also common practice to say, "I can't say." It is not rude to not provide your reason. "Rep" or anything, including a refusal to answer, should suffice.
It is rude for the person who was asking to press the issue. It's kind of a complicated thing, because lots of the good spoiler sources don't want their spoilers repeated off of their site, but lots of the foilers originate with delusional fans.
So yeah, I'd go with Hec's Mwahahahahaha, myself.
