What’s with all the drag shit?

[Ingmar Aspergman]

I don’t know what the base line appeal for Drag Queen shit even is, I thought it was meant to be intentionally gaudy and obnoxious which probably has extremely niche appeal even to weirdos, but now it’s become completely ubiquitous with the LGBT community. Hell perhaps modern animus for all of Western civlization is a clown-like caricature of hyper-feminity. What does being gay have to do with looking like Captain Spaulding with a Spirit of Halloween wig? They don’t even represent trains either. Disregarding it’s functionally identical to minstrel shows, why the hell is it everywhere now, just to piss people like us off?

Edit: imagine in the span of just a couple years, mimes suddenly became the most beloved class of performers in the western world, and the social contract demanded you participate in the same unending love and you should let mimes basically raise your children too in their mime ways. Like what the fuck

It's demonic.

Read your book.

I'd say a good 50% of trans people (if not more) hate drag because of its mocking of trans people (historically). Make of that what you will.

Drag strikes me as a precursor to the unironic troonism we have today. "Oh haha, what if I were a beautiful woman with a ladydick, wouldn't that just be hilarious..... unless..... ?" In other words, largely motivated by fetish. I will grant that I know next to nothing about the topic and this is just an intuitive guess.

I used to think it was mildly entertaining years ago in the sense that "haha, that's clearly a man with balloons in his shirt acting overdramatic." But now it's become an entirely different monster. It's like dragqueens are deities and demand to be treated as symbols of power, instead of what they actually are, a cheap comedy act.

It's also always been overtly sexual so idk why the retards over at the alphabet headquarters decided they would be the mascot for marketing towards children.

1. it's a fetish.
2. they hate women and drag lets them openly espouse that hatred.

 

[Whatevermancer]

I don't get it, either. I understand that trannies have dysphoria, so they feel better when they dress up and act as women, but drag queens don't, it's just an act for them. How are they different from furries? You wouldn't make a TV show about furries competing to make the best fursuit. You wouldn't invite furries to school for a "furry story hour". You wouldn't give furries a shotout in a yearly promotional video for your video hosting website.
So... why should anyone give a shit about drag queens? Just another weird subculture.

 

[snailslime]

imagine getting this worked up over it

 

[Gravityqueen4life]

do not forget that these people want you broke, dead, your kids raped and brainwashed, and they think it's funny.

 

[TurdEthics]

As a heterosexual male, I just tend to not think about it.

I would never care if I wasn’t exposed to it daily

 

[Sandraker]

Its the equivalent of minstrel shows, but socially acceptable cause it mocks women instead of blacks.

Also a man in a dress and being a complete fag is also more in line with today's standards, tho drag is a bit more bearable cause its normally just catty gay men with self awareness

 

[Jimmy Pop]

Drag belongs in bars, where adults can choose to participate in the show. It’s intended to be tongue in cheek mockery of the upper class but it’s come so far from the ball scene it’s virtually unrecognizable now.
Divine was fun, raunchy, inappropriate, disturbing, and gross. Even Lady Bunny and Rupaul in their early years were weirdos. Now we have limp wristed faggots prancing around in garments that cost more than a used SUV, screeching that we need to accept trannies NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW! It’s shit.

RuPaul's Drag Race pushed it into the mainstream and let the freak flag fly a little too proudly. Once it got popular and was accepted as something that even kids could do things got sketchy.

 

[Jimjamflimflam]

Bawdy humour for adults was fine. The drag queen story hour is the real horror show. Can't imagine taking a child to it, let alone a girl to what is essentially minstrel show that is a gross parody of womanhood and then telling them it's "empowering"

It's fucking weird how many "muh troon kid" article starts with their child watching RuPaul. It's like a gateway to trooning

Nah, it's the other way around, we want them dead.

 

[Megaton Punch]

It's 50% fetish, 50% dressing pedophiles like clowns so the middle aged wine moms think it's just a silly and fun form of entertainment. Drag is hugely popular among white women, because it was designed to be. It's a way to get past their defenses undetected and gain access to their children, who are also fooled by the disguise and are less likely to resist "fun touch time" because clowns are fun.

In short, it's Emsleyan mimicry.

Just as long as white men don't dress up as black women.
