PSA: If you don’t do drag then stfu. Honestly shut your mouth.
I am so fucking sick of friends and audience members coming for my, my sister’s, and other performers drag. It honestly infuriates me to the fucking max.
Yes, you are allowed to have opinions and that is fine. But stop acting like the damn gate keeper for what drag is and is not. Drag isn’t a competition and you aren’t a judge.
Also stop reading queens/kings/performers for wearing repeat outfits, wigs, and heels. Drag is experience af and if we are wearing a repeat outfit it probably means it was super expensive and we wanna get our money out of it OR we don’t have lot of money at the moment.
Audiences need to judge a performer less by what they wear, how stunty their performance is, and how their makeup is. Just sit back and enjoy the show. Just be kind. If it isn’t your style of drag then be okay with it. Drag is very diverse and appreciate it for being so.
Not all drag is pageant and glam. It really pisses me audiences don’t get that. Also drag isn’t what you see on TV. We aren’t going into debt over a fun hobby.
