| Really funny blog post :)

| Drag shows, i.e. drag queens. Popularized among hets by Ru-
| Paul's Drag Race, where "yas, queen!" is a frequent
| catchphrase.

| Let me hang onto the chance while we're on the topic. Could
| anyone please explain to me the appeal of the show? I mean,
| I don't give a rat's ass what anyone puts onto themselves
| (presuming it looks vaguely good), but it also seems to me
| that the whole pitch of the show is that everyone on it is
| a crossdresser. Is that interesting somehow? I've been
| lowkey trying to figure it out for a while _specifically
| without_ watching any of the show.
|
| P.S. I'm not watching 'Drag's Race' the same way I'm not
| watching 'Titanic' the 1997 blockbuster by James Cameron.
| But I understand the popularity of 'Titanic', the romantic
| epic with young up-and-coming star Leonardo DiCaprio and
| Kate Winslet.
|
| P.P.S. When Francois Ozon makes a film about two boys in
| love, I have no questions. They have drama, tensions,
| something something--I don't remember 'cause it was some
| time ago. When a bunch of guys put on dresses and makeup, I
| don't understand how one makes an entire _fourteen-season_
| show with spin-offs just from this.

| This HN thread is not really the place to explore your

| aasasd wrote:
| I mean, I'm asking about the _show_ and you say the

| pvg wrote:
| You've got the downvotes, flags and comments from
| everyone from the mods on down telling you your
| commentary is indistinguishable from low-grade,
| transparent trolling. If the problem is everyone
| misunderstanding you, it's on you to fix it.

| Literally... that is their job. Drag queens are paid
| entertainers. It's a show about entertainers,
| entertaining.
| aasasd wrote:
| Okay... thanks for the effort, at least. I've been
| meaning to get somewhat into early-ish burlesque, Brecht,
| that kind of thing. Maybe then I'll be able to watch drag
| shows with vague understanding.

| The contestants are incredibly talented.
|
| The average contestant on a fashion design competitive
| reality show is way less talented than the average
| fashion designer on Drag Race.
|
| The same goes for dance and comedy and more.
|
| RuPaul's contestants are basically the top performing
| drag artists in the country. He has the market cornered!
| aasasd wrote:
| Ah! Somehow I completely missed that they're supposed to

| > _top performing drag artists_
|
| Well I guess then that to understand the appeal of 'Drag
| Race' I'll have to finally watch 'Drag Race'.
