[@dunnowhatever9703]

I won't lie, I do think it's better to have Drag Kings in their own separate show. I don't think Drag Kings are less valid, but I don't trust RuPaul's production to judge Drag Kings fairly when competing against Queens, it would be better to have a King-specific show with a King as a main judge and challenges specific to Drag Kings so they feel more comfortable and not added in as tokens, which is what most likely would happen, considering how the production does things.

[@arthursdl]

It's not about trusting Rupaul, it's about giving them the biggest drag platform in the world

[@shawnbay2211]

If different drag performers were on drag race, I wonder if it could b started in an international season 1st. The calibre of diverse drag is only recognised on less-popular competition shows. Kings have won various times even as a minority on the season. I think it’s so possible the biggest drag show can have diverse drag & B fair. Maybe not now but eventually.

[@istanbuloski]

Dragula created a platform for their drag show. Why can’t Drag Kings create their own as well. Wanting so bad to be on a drag queens show, just makes it seem like drag kings are less valid if is not together with the other one. Drop the inferiority complex and create your own show.

[@maxbaltz2490]

Thank you for talking about the “drama” made around Nymphia’s choice of accent in the challenge. As a first-generation Korean American fan, I’ve never understood why on the main season of DR whenever an East/SE Asian queen “puts on” an accent, it’s seen as offensive/taboo to everyone.. who isn’t Asian. This reminded me of the criticism Plastique Tiara encountered during her season when she used an “Asian accent” although she was born and raised in Vietnam. I’m just tired of the policing Asian queens have to go through when reclaiming these stereotypes, when it seems other POC queens do not experience this on the show.

Lady Bunny has always been outspoken. RuPaul is not beyond criticism and he is earning them these days. Yes, we use gas. But we are not fracking, which is not needed as there are plenty of sources for oil. Fracking happens cuz that company doesn’t want to drill elsewhere, but here where it is allowed. So, RuPaul’s ‘do you use gas?’ response is pure deflection. He doesn’t have to frack. And that is Fact!

[@marioescabi2529]

Thank you, rupauls response is such a false analogy

[@lukerinderknecht2982]

I think it's important to look at ourselves before we criticize others. Drag is very wasteful... the makeup, costumes, textiles, props, sets, packaging, shipping, a lot of disposable and one time use items, etc. Not to mention queens flying around the world for gigs. If we're gonna talk about fracking we should also be honest about the waste/carbon footprint in the art that we love to consume.

[@GringoTearz]

[@Charuchii]

I'm not from the US myself, so I can't talk about the situation there. What I can talk about is the situation in Groningen, the Netherlands, where I'm from. Below Groningen is the biggest gas field in Europe and it has been pumped out of the ground since the 60s. Nowadays, this is an area with a lot of earthquakes. In case you don't know: because of how flat of a country the Netherlands is, earthquakes are a very rare occurrence. Like, they should be non-existent. But people have been experiencing earthquakes since the 90s in Groningen and thought it might be the removal of the gas was seen as ridiculous and flat out denied. We now know that the earthquakes are caused by it. But there has been so much damage done. Our homes aren't build for earthquakes because, again, they are not supposed to happen here. Meaning a lot of the houses that have been here for hundreds of years are badly damaged and some are deemed unlivable. But the people living in these houses can't leave. They can't sell their homes because they are basically worthless and they can't buy homes because many still have a mortgage on the place they live in. And there is so little accountability being taken place by either the government or the company fracking the gas. There was a time were the government claimed they would decrease the fracking, but the numbers confirm they haven't really done so and in fact they announced to increase again last October. There have been a lot of ongoing projects here focusing on green energy to make living without gas more possible and a lot of homes here in the area either go hybrid or completely gas free. Personally, I live in public housing in a home that is actually completely gas free. I cook induction and have like 14 solar panels on my home. This was all included with the house when I moved in. Green energy is possible and besides maybe not getting my wok hot enough for a proper stir fry, living like this is pretty comfortable. So no, RuPaul. I don't use gas. Stop telling people to smell their finger when you yourself reek of bullshit.

When it comes to Nymphia using the exaggerated asian accent, I think it is ridiculous for anyone to get offended. Who are you getting offended on behalf of, Asian people?

[@ManjitSingh-dh2bg]

Hi I respect your opinion but why that accent was not appropriate is because there is difference between in being an asian immigrant and Asian american. Yes queens can reclaim sterotypes but as for the world bigotry is still alive. Asian Americans can do accent in an act and can switch back to their normal accent out of the act which is nor the case for Asian immigrants who has to face discrimination for the way they speak. In a way these queens invite others to laugh at an accent which can happen outside the show. And in a non progressive area this can even go worse. I hope you can understand and this is coming from someone with an Indian accent.

There's another show called Dragula which is an alternative horror drag show thats very similar to drag race as in its formula, the only difference is they do extermination which are extreme punishment instead of lipsyncs for your life. It has both queens and kings on there and theu do a very good job criticize them fairly and showcasing everyone's looks and talent. Although it's based on horror so the queens/kings on there have very different styles and while drag race is more pg dragula is more dark and gory. But it depics drag kings really well alongside with drag queens

[@psio4213]

I think drag kings could adapt to almost any challenge. The real issue comes in with adequate **judging.** The big issue I would have with drag kings on drag race is that the judging panel would not be able to judge adequately without some major changes to the line up. They already make incredibly questionable decisions with the queens, I could only imagine the “critiques” Michelle would have.

[@juliagoolia72]

@@psio4213 exactly. They have changed and adapted over time, but I still believe Michelle and even Ru still have core beliefs on what “true” drag is. I mean look how long it took them to change the lyrics of the theme song.

[@metacrisis47]

the drag kings on drag race conversation is so tired. drag kings can look just as fabulous, sexy, campy and over the top as a drag queens. people seem to think male impersonation means dressing as dirty and rugged and masculine as possible when the reality is most drag kings wear sequin, sparkly clothes and mountains of make up. Dragula has had drag kings on and they always make it to the end, it’s time for drag kings to be included. so much rich queer history and tradition is being left out of the conversation because people keep changing the definition of what drag on this show is.

[@jessicadiasdacr]

I agree that there is just as much work and fabulousness involved, however I'm not sure that they would get a fair treatment by the rpdr production if it was mixed. I'd like to believe that they would but honestly I think they would give the kings a hard time and also there's would be probably just one or two in each season. That's why maybe a branch for themselves would be more entertaining, with a less biased judge panel too.

[@bananamania1124]

@@jessicadiasdacr yes! as much as i want to see drag kings, we barely get good/fair/accepting judging for our current drag queens.

I can imagine the riggor morris just thinking about it....

[@zabi_aka]

I feel like one or two Drag Kings they cast will either be early outs or made to go all the way to never win cause production feels pressure from the fanbase. I'd rather have a Drag King special mini series to test out the waters and then create a separate branch just to showcase all the talent. Or have a King vs Queen mini series where they compete in similar but not same categories. Kind of like in the ball on s13(?) where we had wedding gowns but with animal print/american flag colors, or do famous couples like Cher and Sunny. Something to accommodate both type of artists.

Naysha's right. RPDR does have writers. Reality shows have writers even though they don't want to acknowledge it. I'm still surprised that Q didn't win last week. Sapphira was pretty crunchy in the challenge. Q and Plane were head and shoulders above the rest. I feel badly for the "vs the World" winners. First Blu Hydrangea was left out of a tour with the other UK RPDR winners. Now Rajah is left out of the Canada's RPDR winners photo. These queens invest exorbitant financial resources, as well as blood sweat and tears to be marginalized. Yes Rajah O'Hara makes her own clothes but it's the principle. It's not fair or cool.

It's suddenly came back just recently with at least 5 people have came forward and talked about the time they were being taken adventages off by Shangela, 3 of them are aspiring drag queens. If the situation went bigger, chances are everyone will talk about it and probably even more people come out and share their stories.

Mhi'ya tossing that cloak was hugely disrespectful and considering how far backward Morphine was bent at the time, it could have even resulted in injury if it threw Morphine off. Not calling out this stunt is going to open the lipsyncs up to a lot of uncertainty as to what's appropriate and what's not. Can somebody "drop" a string of beads? Toss a wig into somebody's face? Was the ugly lipsync scuff-up between Shangela and Venus D-Lite at the beginning of Season 2 in bounds, then? It needs to be all or nothing and it needs to be spelled out.

[@bzz_bee]

I know people want to see drag kings compete in a similar format, but it wouldn’t be fair amongst queens. Kings deserve their own show. Because, let's say one king gets casted. Well, then all the pressure is on that one king to represent drag kings, but only his style is bejng represented. Cast 2 kings? Well then they would be constantly compared to each other, even if they have different styles. Add more kings, and it would probably turn into kings vs queens (which honesty could make for an interesting show), and then that reduces the representation of different drag *queen* styles too. And, the judges do not have enough knowledge & experience on masc makeup, body sculpting, fashion etc. to judge them fairly. We need to push for a separate drag king race.

[@nikofaershee4235]

People keep talking about treating Drag Kings fairly. The flip side is that they may end up getting favored just for being a Drag King 👑, which is beyond fair. It’s all speculation at this point. The RPDR show is currently about Drag Queens, with a female aesthetic as the goal. I would love to see the reverse, Drag Kings with a male aesthetic as the goal. Drag Race would definitely have to revamp criteria for judging if they combine both Drag Kings and Queens. If artistic expression of genders is going to blend, both Drag Kings and Queens repped, then just throw out judging altogether and call it a Drag Artists Showcase. Let’s also not crap all over RuPaul all of the time. He has done a lot for drag. He’s not perfect, but people usually bring him up just to say horrible things. (And no, I don’t agree with fracking.)

I don’t think drag kings should be on drag race. I think they should start a whole other franchise and bring in 14 drag kings to compete like they do on the original show.

[@jase_allen]

If you listen to RuPaul in interviews, he's very clearly driven by money. He's pretty open about it. He's first and foremost a business man. I think people conflate celebrities' behind the scenes personality with the one they portray on TV, and that needs to stop. I'd be all for a show in with drag kings competed on their own or with drag queens. The RPDR concept would work with just drag kings competing against each other, but you would need to rework almost all of the show for kings and queens competing against each other. All of the challenges would need to be performance based, cutting out the fashion element. The scripted performances would have to be rethought to account not knowing how many kings or queens are competing, as well as any lip synchs. You'd be better off creating a new franchise for that.

[@blushslice]

[@alexo3383]

I wanna share my opinion on Rupaul’s Alstora. I think it’s a great idea and as for the controversy, I think it’s good to have those books because 1. No form of speech should be limited-including bad books 2. Ppl can read them and learn from history 3. They can include multiple POV 4. What is bad is subjective-most times-and I DO NOT agree with Hitler books or anything like that, but those books can offer a lot more history and context and opinions no one thought of or a POV that no one thought of for themselves and that’s powerful

[@GoldDustWoahman]

Yeah no. There’s a hundred other bookstores out there those books are readily at. You are marketing yourself as a LGBT book seller for OUR community then you bring on anti-trans, anti-lgbt anti-drag authors and literal nazi books penned by the leader of the third reich? Nah miss me with that horseshit

[@jessicadiasdacr]

It's so important to know the enemy so you can fight them efficiently. I agree with you. But since the main public is the queer community, if I was in charge of that I would have created a seal or a category that acknowledges that as also relevant for strategical purposes instead of just "controversial" cause that's just too wide.

[@KatsuDrawn]

i think Drag Kings should have their own show. because Drag Queens usually wear such big and extravagant outfits and gowns, so comparing that to what we see on men weather gay or straight, it can be hard to stick out when they are competing against queens who can wear bigger and brighter things. i'm not saying drag kings couldn't, but it'd be hard to do it without looking underwhelming or leaving the king part of it. so if they had a show/season to themselves, they could easily stick out in their own ways. and i could be wrong, but having a season for them would be beneficial since we could see if they could do well look wise and my mind could be changed.

I work at a theatre and I ran into Brooklyn backstage. I was so starstruck I told her (quote) "I watch you on my TV all the time" she was so sweet to me at least but damn I'm never gonna live that down

I agree with Naysha. Give the drag kings their own show.

[@Bl4k3.]

i need a mainstream drag king reality show...

[@jaybee4118]

14:11 Hugo Grrrl (in white second from the right) should be on drag race. One on the best drag acts down under and deserves much, much more recognition.

[@yurifinch3096]

Choosing to not sell certain right-wing books and anti trans books on a 'queer friendly' bookstore is not "banning" those books. Those books still exist elswhere. Allstora just say that you want to profit off anything including hateful propaganda.

To be fair if I lived in the USA I'd build a bunker lol

The show is for drag QUEENS tell the kings to carve their own lane rise to the top and host a show just how ru did.

Brooklyn's body language during the drag king conversation. You summarized that part very - respectfully.

[@kiml5488]

Bunny is a real one for calling out her longtime friend. It takes guts to do that!

[@Pagan_999]

I always found it strange that despite Lady Bunny and Rue Paul being good “friends”, Michelle is a judge on drag race. Maybe Lady Bunny didn’t want to be a judge, idk.

[@anthonycrocker8009]

With all the spin offs surely its time for a drag king series!!

[@BritInvLvr]

I would love to see a special season of Dragrace with all drag kings. To have kings and queens compete together would not be fair.

[@a.lumpia]

Why am I so susceptible to the dramaaa

[@diegocovarrubias7750]

Drag kings should have their own platform/ show. RuPaul, the queen of drag, or Michelle have no business giving critiques to drag kings as it is not their area of expertise.

[@ML-xh6rd]

If WOW wanted to include drag kings on Drag Race they would have done it by now. And, if they thought a drag king competition show would be successful, they would have also already done that. They're all about making money and have likely done the math and don't see it as something that would be profitable. Furthermore, who would host/lead this drag king franchise? RuPaul is the self proclaimed queen of drag with more than four decades in the game; who is the king of drag? There isn't one.

[@JuanDavid-yr3hg]

I think they should do an all drag kings competition not include them in the regular season. Just because there are some different criteria of what to judge and i wouldn’t be fair for kings or queens.

[@erikm8372]

As far as Ru building a bunker, isn’t their property in Wyoming? Well.. hopefully it’s safe from that Yellowstone super volcano, in the event it finally blows. Which fracking could stimulate! Never know! Same state too.

[@theshark2005]

I am all for drag kings but I agree with Naisha. They should have their own show. So they can shine and we can learn more about drag kings instead of having drag queens and they taking over cuz drag queens are more popular. It’s like having a womens fiffa world cup and male it should make sense I agree with all drag and all drag is valid so just my opinion.

[@jayhartbarger2793]

this show is NOT a ballroom or tv wrestling. Throwing her "cape" on her opponent is just shitty behavior.

[@rcamels3042]

another bit of shade about rupaul and environmentalism i noticed was this season, with Dawn on Ep 1 during the front door/lawn photoshoot. Dawn said “I think animals should be able to vote,” to which Rupaul asked “who do you think they would vote for?” Dawn said “not you!” I can’t help but think that was a dig at Ru’s shady past

Miya’s tossing that garment on Morphine was not cool. That stage is supposed to be respectful & good rapport. I didn’t like it. Miya was a bad sport!

[@jessicadiasdacr]

I think if Morphine was in another position I would not have minded that much but since she was leaning back and near the edge of the stage, when the slow motion edit started I got just so worried that she could hurt herself.

Looks like a lady Bunny just burned whatever is left of her friendship with RuPaul into the ground. Six feet under to be exact….

[@Ohhhwehere]

yash! this episode was great ❤️

[@YullaNellis]

Rupaul is doing exactly what every rich people are doing, protecting themselves from the danger they are causing.

[@anavictorianormie]

I can understand both sides. Dragula ha been having drag kings since season 3 and it's being amazing. We have already had glimpses of drag king in Drag Race and it always worked fine (I personally think Milk's Werk Room RuPaul look is amazing and there's nothing you can say that will change my mind - okay, maybe have a better bald prosthetics). On the other hand, Drag Race is heavily influenced by America's Next Top Model and drag pageants, while Dragula was literally a competition inside Boulet's party, that was born in the nightlife and then reached television. Today things are more flexible, but there are still very stiff and strict views on what drag queens must do to be considered "good drag". We have had very modern and fashionable winners in US franchise, that go beyond the "female impersonation", but never fully realized club kid and androgynous performers. For drag kings to be featured on Drag Race US, they would need to change a lot of their mindset. We've had 16 seasons and 8 All Stars seasons and there wasn't a big girl winning YET (and this is not about talent and competence, because there were!); not so long ago RuPaul was saying women in the show was like taking steroids in the Olympics, we only had an openly trans woman winning at All Stars season 6, and season 14 of regular seasons. We have two asian winners and they're both THE SAME PERSON - Raja. We still didn't have a cis woman competing on Drag Race US, while Drag Race Germany crowned the first winner a cis woman. Drag Race Thailand has a big girl and a trans woman winning season 1 and 2. Drag Race España All Stars just crowned an androgynous performer. Drag kings should be on Drag Race, but not THIS Drag Race. We need an open minded RuPaul wanting more than just money and petty cat fights.

[@sassypants69]

imo as a non asian i dont think nymphias accent or set was bad .. yes she did use a stereotypical asian accent but the delivery wasnt a joke at the culture or people more so the way she said things (still a lil crunchy at that) but i think the judges trying to b white saviors really did irk me. either u enjoyed it or u didnt

[@ManjitSingh-dh2bg]

Hi I respect your opinion but why that accent was not appropriate is because there is difference between in being an asian immigrant and Asian american. Yes queens can reclaim sterotypes but as for the world bigotry is still alive. Asian Americans can do accent in an act and can switch back to their normal accent out of the act which is nor the case for Asian immigrants who has to face discrimination for the way they speak. In a way these queens invite others to laugh at an accent which can happen outside the show. And in a non progressive area this can even go worse. I hope you can understand and this is coming from someone with an Indian accent.

you literally immediately admit yr non asian but then continue to speak. interesting cognitive dissonance LMAO

A lot or arguments about putting Drag kings in Drag race sounds like they don’t trust a show centered around Drag Kings would do well on it’s own merits so it’s better to use a already successful show. Why not elevate Dragula’s popularity if it’s a better show than Drag Race? From what I hear it’s really good

[@saradickey2226]

I'd be afraid to have Ru judge kings at this point. Bring in a legend like Mo B Dick to co-judge for a season. If they could judge Dawn, a self proclaimed Drag Thing, they can figure out Kings. I literally just don't trust Ru Paul with it after all that's come out.

[@colee5440]

Just think the queens are scared to have the floor torn up under them like Landon and Throb did on Dragula. Male actors have been played on snatch game and are written into rusicals etc. I think they have probably reached out but many of the top tier kings say no. They know they are gonna be looked at with a magnifying glass and judged pretty harshly.

[@danieldrummer7154]

It’s really not that deep, nymphia said babe I’m not being in the bottom again just because I’m not funny, so, she pulled out her one and only trick that gets her friends going at the parties😂 that’s what it gave
