Horrific Drag Race has anybody seen this?? **MNHQ CONTENT WARNING FOR GRAPHIC IMAGE***

The problem is you may because of lack of personal context just see it as a skit about a film. But for those who have suffered loss through drowning do not experience that.

Although I am sure many drag acts will be happy that you just see it as performance, art. No doubt some will say that the "breast" performance is good personal therapy for the performer.

But the issue is why are these been lauded and thought acceptable to be normalised by being included in a show?

And althought the OP example is not on mainstream tv so we dont know the audience reaction, in the example I gave the judges applauded it but the audience thought the opposite.

So both examples are on an arc of exhibitionism that may have a place in some obscure club, but the issue is that they have both been broadcast on tv.

How is it that broadcasters have thought this okay, and inevitably, after each "breakthrough" in pushing the boundaries they are inevitably going to look for something a bit more shocking.

Ugh and I thought it was bad enough when drag race did 'looks' of children's TV shows and characters like blue Peter and the beano

Would emailing them with a copy of the photo not violate their own communication conditions?

Eugh

Idiots.

This is the glamorisation of self harm on TV. It’s not right wing to find that disturbing.

I usually find the makeup fucking terrifying but I don’t mind drag as a concept. This is not just drag though.

Is it a part of Vimeo?

my bold.

Among the people applauding this on Instagram are Ariana Grande, Paris Hilton, Jeremy Scott and Brian Atwood.

For the record, I will shortly being donning my cagoule and going off to canvass for my sitting Labour MP. If anyone opens their door and asks me what a woman is and how can I support the Labour Party when it doesn't support single-sex spaces, I'm going to agree with them and tell them that I have no idea how I'm going to vote on 4 July if Starmer keeps this shit going.

Perhaps this is why so many women in their 50s have left the labour market claiming back and neck trouble. I seem to know so many women who've decided that a precarious financial existence is preferable to having to go to work every day and endure the BS.

It's not on bbc or paramount

It's aired in the uk by wow presents plus -a subscription service

Thank you! I had exactly the same thought.

If Newsweek writer was so confident of his position where is an image of the performance in question in that piece?

Because they feel so threatened by the strength of women.

Maybe they should consider the damage shown on this thread

Why do the have such ugly hatched faces?

Only conservatives, Newsweek?

Thinking some more about this (and NOT looking at that pictures again), as I think others have said, this has crystallised my views on drag. I've shifted over the years from thinking, 'Meh, not my thing, vaguely entertaining' to 'Um, this pisses me off and I don't like it but let people get on with it if it's their thing' to today, 'Oh, just fuck off with this shit!'

Pride is about to hit our local small town. The FB post with all the flyers is out, and it's 70% drag, including a drag story hour. The rest seems to be things like the raffle...

I have a gay friend who lives about 150 yards from what will be Pride epicentre on the big day who emphatically does NOT want a pride advert board on his lawn. He says he has no idea why the QTI got tacked onto the LGB and detests the word queer ('That's what you used to hear when someone was about to beat you up').

I'm seeing him this evening. I might sound him out on drag...

Might try and speak to her after this atrocity but it is a fine line between giving information and not wanting to try and push my views on to friends.

@Blackcats7 asking careful questions might be more productive than anything else. Good luck.

Oh Tallisker. I hope you're okay. Sending you love and strength and all good wishes for a full recovery. This is doubly vile that it's made you feel like this.

That doesn't make it better. A mentally ill woman has her breasts chopped off and then makes a disgusting video about it, with 'breast tissue' in a bag. Well, at least we can see how sick she is. Poor woman.

Sadly, this is just as relevant today as it was in 1975.

Film censors in the UK used to edit any ‘self-mutilation’ out of media to be shown here. I wish we still had that kind of safeguarding practise.

I saw it on Twitter. It's beyond belief (almost - sadly this is where we are).

For those on Twix a thread of recent BBC news items on drag.

I don't think this episode has been on the BBC, but they do show Drag Race, I think? At this point it just looks like outrageous woman hatred being pushed by our national broadcaster.

The amount of 'drag' output the BBC have overall is absurd.
