I can't believe my eyes. Season 9 apparently. Bloody breast tissue in the bag. Sickening.

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

Thank you! I had exactly the same thought.

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.

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

Unfortunately this is how some quarters see fit to frame it.

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.

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

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

I was less offended by this. I saw it as a skit based on the film, not the actual events.

I found the film pretty tasteless, and don’t see this sketch as any worse. I prefer his unabashedly male body in a ridiculous outfit to the usual female parody.

It reminded me more of mime or Greek tragedy, than drag.

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.
