**Hello SquaredCircle! Welcome to our Weekly Discussion Thread! **

Feel free to post below!
(Reminder, this thread can and will contain spoilers for possibly any show. Spoiler tags are not required in here, but if the show just happened try and keep spoiler talk it to its respective discussion thread for the first day).
It’s like an actor who people yell shit at on the street. If you’ve ever seen Archer, people will drive by in cars and yell “DANGER ZONE!!!” at him passing by. Which doesn’t sound like much, until you see what H Jon Benjamin looks like. If you aren’t a fan of his, uou would not suxpect he’s even a celebrity. And so people around him just hear someone yell “DANGER ZONE!!!” and start freaking out like it’s a bomb threat.
Or like that other celebrity who had someone ask if his scene where they cut off his head was real. So he just said “yes”.
It just means their performances were so gripping that people BELIEVED in it, despite being clearly a performance.
Like those people who wrote death threats on twitter to the writers of Orange is the new Black, when they killed Posey in season 4. They were citing BLM movements, and racism. Then the actress who played Posey had to respond to say she’s not dead, just out of a job.
That’s why I say this Stardom wrestler worked the marks. She got them to pay money, just to say some shit. After 3 minutes they’re taken away, and she keeps their $20 or whatever. And she knows she “got 'em”
