It's actually kinda disgusting on buzzfeed's side how they edited the original to inforce stereotypes and say "haha guys in dresses are funny" instead of showing the true art of drag and how people who do drag are well people

[@imnotgoodwithnames4101]

Yea, It always felt like Buzzfeed wanted to have it both ways of "Oh, like at these people, they're so weird haha" and "Omg we're so progressive and woke".

[@ebbandflowph]

The difference is stark. You can tell there's an education and breaking stereotypes part to it but it's clearly done with a lot of love.

[@Si74l0rd]

@@ebbandflowph This version is a lot more fun than just funny. Having seen this I'd love to give it a go, something about the anonymity of the makeup and outfit makes the thought of it not scare me, the way performing as myself would.

[@Molly-tv5sv]

Yeah, this version just seems more sincere about what goes into drag artistry rather than "omg men wear dresses that's not normal lol". It's way funnier and genuinely a lovely documentary about more masculine-ish men becoming drag divas and i love it.

[@yumega]

Indeed. And the thing is, the queens already have an excellent balance of not taking themselves too seriously (which I think is important in any artwork) and respecting their true selves and the hard work they put in. If Buzzfeed had just showed these performers genuinely, they would have found a perfect balance already.

[@kathryndunn8052]

I always saw the drag video as an awakening for him. Like I saw him in other Buzzfeed videos before this but he seemed more sure of himself after this video

[@yumega]

The fact that he and Mayhem Miller remained friends after this, and Eugene found community with other drag performers these days is absolutely heartwarming. I don't know if this was truly his introduction to drag, but either way, it warms my heart to see him discovering himself through this

[@mirrorcity4872]

It is an art form tho. It combines both the aspects of art, history, culture, the battles people had to face and having fun, strutting down a runway, and boys dancing around in heels. They aren’t just dressing like women, they’re creating this whole character and personality and performance. The makeup just in itself along with all the creativity it takes makes it an art form alone. I get what you’re saying, it’s not this uptight thing it’s fun and messy, but please don’t discredit everything drag has meant and still means.

And (2) I was wondering if Eugene had come out to the queens here because it seemed like these might be people he could confide in, and I'm so glad that halfway thru it was revealed he did (or at least was open over what he was going thru) because it means he had people who knew and were there for him while being in the closet. This was probably such a great and cathartic episode for him.

[@katherineheasley6196]

Definitely! Did not know that Cupcake Canne was a ballet dancer, but it totally makes sense with the way she moves. Also, knowing that Misty Violet is the Queen of Stupid makes her pairing with Keith even better. You can see how Mayhem and Eugene connected, too, given what he said about his family being slow to accept him and Eugene struggling with his sexuality. It's nice to know they're still friends.

[@litbitkit]

Coming back to this after “Drunk Gays Explain Drag Race to Straights”, it’s wonderful and beautiful to see the growth of Eugene. From this, to his “I’m Gay” project, to his “My Longest Relationship” video, to wearing heels/nails for a day, doing more exploration with makeup, the MET gala, even taking his own father to a drag show. In the years we’ve been able to see and know Eugene, it’s beautiful and wonderful to see him come into himself and openly express love for the people around him and himself. I am so so proud of him as a human for the growth he has shared with us, and especially proud of the village he chooses to surround himself with. Zach, Ned, and Keith embrace this community with open arms, not to mention the Try Team and Try Partners. The willingness to be educated and informed about things that might not affect them, but someone they love, is astounding.

Drags queens are amazing. I am asexual, but when I went to this one drag performance, and one of the queens made eye contact with me as she took my dollar, I could've melted into the floor right there. This was several years ago, and I will never forget that moment. ❤️

[@mushhaus3967]

Its so interesting comparing the videos because 25:26 it's very obvious it's Eugene's choice, he went down the line of spices and chose one he liked and reworked it into something that he liked and everyone liked it But in the buzzfeed video it was just Eugene running through random names ( Kore Ann and Kay Drama ) and it's Miller who gives him his name and he has sort of a dumbstruck look on his face

With what is happening in a lot of states today with drag bills, this is an amazing reminder that Drag is an ART!

I can't thank the try guys enough for always going above and beyond to do such an amazing job exploring different communities, minorities, artforms, and ways for personal expression. From a clinical therapist to you, thank you for providing our youth and young people a safe space to learn and build community always! ❤❤❤
