Another one! The BBC is obsessed with drag!

I'm sick of seeing stuff about drag.
I know somebody who is a drag performer. He keeps trying to convince me to go to drag shows and watch Drag Race. Why must they insist other people have to like this?
It gives me the willies because it's like a minstrel show, but because it's women being lampooned instead of POC, it's being celebrated. Gross.
I don't think most drag queens are conciously lampooning women in a disrespectful way, but many minstrel performers probably didn't consciously think they were insulting POC either.

give them a break-its been at least 6 hours since the last drag related story.

Then one day Teifi decided to use make-up to transform themselves into Anniben.

Themselves. The BBC are captured idiots.

😂😂😂😂😂

The statue outside the BBC by Eric Gill was presumably deliberately commissoned and signed off on. And when the statue was damaged by a protester of child sex abuse, and rather than take that opportunity to remove it they made a point of restoring it, guess which bit was damaged.
Its so in plain sight that we have been boiled like frogs.

'I don't think most drag queens are conciously lampooning women in a disrespectful way,'
Massively beg to differ.

I don't think most drag queens are consciously lampooning women in a disrespectful way, but many minstrel performers probably didn't consciously think they were insulting POC either.

That's the whole point. Treating other people, whether black or female, as a performing animal that the white male can dress up as for their amusement. Not really human. Not worth respecting. Not worth being conscious of.

So, to ease past trauma. he dresses up to look like a Welsh clown-vampire?

I think he looks scary and troubled.

Agreed. They don't even stop to think about it because we aren't worth it to them.

I don't think they are consciously doing in a disrespectful way for the most part. It's part of a subconscious motivation.

In case people missed it before, this makes it make sense (In the upside down world we now live in)

I read this yesterday - it's everywhere 🤬

I've never been into it.

Part of the reason is because of the make-up they wear. It's garish, scary & clown looking. The whole 'OMG it's a MAN dressed in WOMEN'S clothing' is of no interest to me. I'm sure there are some talented singers & performers out there, but it comes across like the perfect medium for mediocre performers to get attention and be celebrated for it, as we saw in the Olympics.

From the perspective of queer theology, drag events are deliberate acts of queering church space, unsettling rigid moral assumptions historically associated with church. Queering is seen as an overdue act of reimagining

Now let's be honest. This isn't queering faith is it? It's queering Christianity specifically, because I image the amount of drag performers 'queering' Islam is very, very low.

I hate how they assume the higher, superior stance in every single space. There is an automatic assumption that every space needs to be invaded by their fucking 'queering' or special treatment, and anyone who resist or just goes 'That's a bit much isn't it? is deemed bigoted or pearl clutching.

The end goal is to make anyone who belongs under the banner of 'queer' a demi-God or some kind of deity, to replace a religion. That's why some of them say things like 'trans people are sacred'. I don't think it's a coincidence. It's a narcissistic 1-2-3 back to me.

Someone needs to track the occurrences 😂

I didn’t care about drag when it was a night time adult entertainment. It’s like stripping. Not for me.
The absolute obsession to make it mainstream family entertainment is mind boggling.
For me it’s like putting lap dancing into libraries, why the fuck would you do it.

Exactly why is adult entertainment before the water shed? ( is there a water shed anymore?)
