I'm beginning to realize that, the obsession with the Burlington Bar in this board stems from a pathological need of mocking them in order to sustain and realize this place’s elitist ideology regarding popular culture and media consumption. It doesn’t matter what happens during the reaction videos, Yea Forums will always have an opposite opinion which is justified by diminishing the people in it labelling them “plebs” or “normies”. Here, the Burlington Bar functions the same way the wife of the jealous husband does in Lacan’s Seminar Book III:
>Even if what a jealous husband claims about his wife (that she sleeps around with other men) is all true, his jealousy is still pathological
In this way even if most of Yea Forums’s claims about the Burlington Bar’s viewers were true (they are normiess, idiots and plebs), this sense of elitist superiority would still be pathological - because it represses the true reason Yea Forumsneeds popular culture elitism in order to sustain their ideological position.
And are we wrong? What normal person would film their stupid reaction to a television show and put it on the internet for all to see if he wasn't a narcissistic fuck looking for attention?
Luke Young
reaction videos are lame.
Caleb Smith
The reason we laugh at the Burlington Bar is because they cheer like trained seals at moments intended for that purpose, with no individual understanding of the source material or even what they're looking at. This is why they cheer when Arya kills all the Freys, and jeer when Olly kills Ygritte.
Noah Howard
> ill use some big psychological words to give my retarded argument power theyre literally faking their reaction to fit in the hivemind. Typical 15y old overthinking everything
Jason Watson
are you quoting a literal fucking postmodernist on Yea Forums?
You are assuming they are doing it for attention and not because they enjoy watching things in a bar with their friends. Again, you might be right and you might be wrong but that doesn't dissprove what my original argument was. Even if these people are what you say they are Yea Forums's collective identity needs these subjects to exist in order to justify its cultural superiority.

The fact of the matter is GoT turned into goofy ass shlock. A far cry from it started out being before it gone mainstream. Further proof that normalfags ruin good things because producers insist on catering to them. Instead of bringing media down to their level, it should be lifting their audience perception within the media they consume.
I miss the days where The Sopranos was discussed as a disappointment only because it blacked out at the end.

I watch them sometimes because I can’t believe how weak and infantile they are. Grown men and women screaming over a good-mediocre TV show is weird. It’s obvious some of them are hamming it up for the cameras too. You can analyse this any way you want.

There is lots o behaviours that do not conform to this concept. You are right in assuming that in the process of identity formation there are internal and external elements, meaning that you conform your identity relating to other things or people. The fact of the matter is the obssession Yea Forums has for the Burlington Bar, one could justify his intelectual superiority from the knowledge he has gathered from books, the experiencies he has had, the amount of time he has pondered over subjects, etc. But in the case of Yea Forums, intelectual/cultural superiority is expressed by the denigration of the other, in the same way racists justify their worldview in relation to other "inferior races". It is why Lacan was so influenced by the hegelian Master/Slave dynamic.

They don't really need to go the the GoT nights, they just think "Oh it's games of thrones bar, let's go see what it's like" and that's it. If they kept doing it all those years I assume it's because they get more money than before.

The reality of the feel doesn't make it less pathetic
Dominic Russell
AHEM, read society of the spectacle instead of relying on a hack like Lacan
nah it's mainly about these people reacting in the same way all together without a single individual emotion amongst them >QUEEN SLAY MOMENT they cheer >cersei is on screen *BOOOOOOOO*
go to a bar once in your life and see if people are all the same they are not these faggots at burlington know they are being filmed and thus they behave in the most acceptable way to not stick out meaning they all conform to a herd of people acting the same to not be singled out as the one person that doesn't fit in

Ever since Twitter and reaction videos came flooding in, Yea Forums has taken an increasingly positive stance on this season. The night of, the best most posters would say about it is that it was delightful to watch the show crash and burn and dragging Danyfags into the dirt with them was the icing on the cake. But now? We have people saying it was kino. People were defending Arya's impenetrable plot armor and the hamfisted symbolism of the white horse. People were defending Jaime throwing all of his character development away to be Cersei's fucktoy one last time. The defended Dany snapping like a twig for basically no reason after the battle had already been won. All because "SJWs" disliked it. For people on Yea Forums, everything really is political, right down to what your stance is on an episode of a Yea Forums show.
This is the equivalent of people calling you a sexist for not liking The Last Jedi. It's people with politics ingrained so deeply in their brains that they can't separate a single thing from political ideology. The NEED to disagree with literally everything.
Dominic Flores

All because "SJWs" disliked it. if you think the people who are saying it is kino are being genuine, you are genuinely a dumb cunt
if you think the people who are defending the shit writing of that episode are the same people who are saying it's kino ironically because it makes cretins seethe, you are an even bigger stupid cunt
He's still trying to go on about "B-BUT VARY'S SUPPORTED A GUY WHO WAS PRO SLAVERY" when iirc that comes up once and seems very much a throwaway remark to get Jorah on board by saying "Well I wouldn't have you exiled for selling people into slavery".
Owen Foster
>What matters is that people feel the need to show up in threads about it and show and tell everyone how they hate them just to feel part of the kool kid klub. It's virtue signaling.
They are two different things. The people at the bar wouldn't react to GoT like that if they weren't filmed. These people are not normies. It's always the same people who sit in front and want to "belong" by shrieking and shouting at a tv-show as an adult, faking being upset, angry and ecstatic. That's not very normal, is it?
Then there are these threads where people, both normies and betas alike, laugh at these people, their antics and how they unironically feel bad that they cant go to a bar to get filmed and posted on internet for millions to see. It's not about hate, it's about laughing at these people with their fake reactions and remembering the fat chick's milkers. Normies watch this (just like any other tv-show) with their girlfriends and/or friends at their homes with snacks and dricks at hand. We normies go watch sports with our buddies in a bar.
Cameron Cooper
>You're assigning innocent enjoyment to the party you've decided is the innocent one and are claiming the other party is the one doing what they enjoy for any otw reason than enjoyment.
It is impossible to know the reasons behind the people that come to the bar, they could be extremely diverse and not just conforming to "herd mentality". Also the fact that the owner decides to record the reactions and upload them could be very well a social media marketing startegy. People here are being equally as dishonest by assingning a "need for attention" as the motive. But, as I have already said several times, I do not ascribe any sort of reason since it is irrelevant to the argument. Even if these people are "basedboys, cucks, normies" or whatever, the fact is that Yea Forums needs these ideological subjects in order to reinforce their beliefs.
Why is 'the other' necessarily better than Yea Forums then?
Hunter Powell
>Oof Oof
Lucas Russell
Who cares who is better? I am not trying to say anyone is better. It is the fact that you have to see everything ithrough that prism o superiority which really confirms what happens in this place.
Dylan Harris
I have not once refered to these people as "normal" or "the majority of people".
> It's not about hate I think you're occulting a very real part of the people here that are obsessed with these reaction videos, or the fact that it seems that a lot of people think they are representative of other people watching the show.

There is no NEED to justify anything, their very existence is proof of the lowest common denominator which is very clear from their behavior.
