How many people here like drag queens ?
I have mixed feelings but Simon Hanselmann is really cute and I love MMO.
Drag shows are a blast even though I live in a city with shitty queens

> a city with shitty Queens
So, New York?
>>5449199
Milwaukee, cuz
Meh, they may be titillating to some people, but they don't really do anything for me.
>Anon you should go to the drag show at bar, you're trans
>>5449200
I mean you used to have trixie but she moved to WeHo like all the other girls who know what's up. You should come down to Chicago tho. The queens here are amazing
>>5449183
I think they are mentally ill and non committal.
>Be a man.
>Be a woman.
>Fucking choice.
>Dressing like a manly grotesque women
>BARF!
I admit it I like RuPaul's Drag Race
>>5449183
Transphobic and misogynistic men in womenface
>>5449277
>titillating
they're not supposed to be sexy, its a comedy act you dumb fuck
I think they are hot for the most part, to be honest, and I support them overall.

This. LMAO at the only drag act I've actually seen. You haven't lived until you've watched a queen dressed in a Tinky Winky costume sing "I Know What Boys Like" while lap-dancing on a bishop in the audience. I almost fucking died I was laughing so hard.

Literally gay men making fun of straight women as a pastime. It's pretty weird that people don't get this or don't care. The relationship gay men have with straight women is bizarre, honestly. Divas, drag queens, fag hags, making fun of pussy, pretending they have a "strong black woman" inside of them... I had one gay guy flirt with me and then apologize for leading me on and I'm still puzzled why the fuck anyone would tease people like that.
>>5450234
That doesn't sound funny at all to me.
>>5450264
You had to be there m8.
I'm a cis dyke bartender at a gay bar. Drag chicks are the best. Tip great. Friendly as all hell and hilarious.
>>5449183
Sexually? Not one bit.
Entertainment-wise I've only been to a drag show once and he was shit and embarrassed the fuck out of me (I was depressed) but RPDR is fucking entertaining as fuck.
If they purpose is to be annoying, I'd say they succeeded.
>>5449183
They're unfathomably disgusting.
>>5449183
Generally fun to watch, but generally a mess as people. High amounts of alcohol abuse, various drugs, drama and lots of tina. I don't get the appeal of cross dressing personally, but to each their own.
I fucking love drag race. Cant wait for season 8 and all stars 2

I don't find it funny either, there is not basis for humour, I don't find >men in women's clothing and clown make up, lip synching and dancing particularly funny or interesting.
I guess they are just minstral shows for gender instead of race
>>5451216
I agree with this anon. I love watching drag but I find even the social media personalities of the queens intolerable, could not imagine them in my personal life at all.
>>5449993
Nah, there's different types of Queens; there are comedy Queens, but there's also Pageant Queens, who are usually trying their best to look feminine, or "fishy"
>>5449183
I know they are degenerate but they are so much fun. Please forgive me pol
When I was younger you could say I was a drag performer some of the time. In later years I was getting clients who hired me to just do private burlesque and belly dance performances without the full night of sex my escorting work usually included. I moved and acted totally feminine because that was natural to me as a pre-op transwoman.
>>5449991
Except as gay men they are punching up against over privileged cis women.
>Basement dwelling tumblrites calling drag misogynistic.
Quick reminder that drag kings exist.
Quick reminder that female drag typically mocks masculinity while idolising femininity.
Quick reminder that not all queens are catty shallow clowns.
Quick reminder not all drag is impersonation.
Quick reminder there's a fine line between self-expression that subverts gender norms, and drag.
Quick reminder you don't actually know what you're talking about.
>>5449183
RuPauls Drag Race is great TV, but I don't like many of the queens on the show. Some drag is interesting, other drag isn't, almost all drag is fun.
>>5460655
Soften the barriers by being over the top boderline satirical caricatures of famous and powerful women
Riiiiight
>>5460655
>Thinks the punchline of drag is dressing like a woman.
Sure, and the humour from comedians is purely from their aesthetics, wait, nope.
>>5460666
Meh they're the only type of gender expression for men that lets men put on dresses and makeup. So, until something better is invented (which in itself is unlikely) yes they are.
>>5449183
Adore is the only one i like, but that's only because i liked Danny anyway. Willam is pretty funny too
>>5460675
it doesnt help when the men are purposing perpetuating the sterotype that its a woman.
Its literally gendering the cloths just fucking with the gender
>>5460705
>it doesnt help when the men are purposing perpetuating the sterotype that its a woman.
It's not like butch women/drag kings don't perpetuate the stereotype, though. If they were like normal men they'd just wear t-shirt and pants instead of the whole 1920s-esque ensemble
I really only keep up with Willam and Alaska but RPDR is fun as hell to watch
there's a drag race thread if anyone's interested
>>5457145
>>5460656
Nope.
>>5449962
It's a performance..
>>5450057
Same here, basically.
I think they're great, they're a hell of a lot better than makeup than I am. Like I wouldn't fuck one because I'm not down with dicks but I think they're funny
>>5466272
are you a lesbian?
>>5451216
In real life, once they scrape off all the Panstick, they can be decent human beings. It varies from person to person. They are almost always 'on', until the audience is gone.
>>5449183
i think they pass better than most transgirls.
