Basically no one (who heard the drag story) had a problem believing that he went to a drag show. For a lot of people this would be a red flag, and perhaps prompt some self reflection about their recent behavior and the path they've chosen to go down.
Instead Nick seethed into his webcam, attempting to take a victory lap over KF falling for his "epic op". Being Nick, he of course had to work weird butt stuff into his rant.
...
It's not even "basically", it's quite literally nobody that heard the story, except those in on the op, that would find it unbelievable.
I know there's a nontrivial contingent that don't give a shit about adult drag performances for adults; I'd count myself among these, to put my cards on the table. They don't care and find it entirely believable an adult might hit the town to see some entertainment of the bawdy nature. The story is entirely plausible to these people.
The contingent that does care tends to be more likely to believe Nick is gay, given some of his past stunts with everything taken together, the notion that he went to a drag show is entirely plausible and very believable.
The contingent that actually like drag shows also believes it because they see absolutely nothing but positive things about drag so a man going to see a drag show is completely normal to them.
So the entire cross section of humanity is most likely to believe such a story is not only plausible, but likely. No matter what their opinion of Nick happens to be.
Such a deception is by its planned nature supposed to make an ass out of somebody: fundamentally such a stunt is a joke. The trick is that when someone else goes over the situation, they are supposed find a punchline: something, anything, that makes the subject of deception look ridiculous for believing the lie. There has to be a clue or else it's
just telling a lie.
Because it's Art that came up with this plan, of course the plan is just to tell a completely plausible lie, and then say "aha we fooled you!". Art being stupid and a psycho thinks this is an epic own because someone believed a lie at all, and clearly he didn't think much past that, which again speaks to psycho-stunted views of humor, much like how psychos will grind a joke into the dirt long past its due-by date: they can't grasp the nuances without a lot of help.
What's most mystifying to me is why Nick thought this was a good idea, since anyone with half a brain should be able to look at the setup and ask "so uh...the punchline?". Perhaps alcohol played a role.
Which brings us full circle...who exactly was this plan supposed to own again?
