discussion All ages drag show. Thoughts?

[manwhore]

 

Im no fan of this Twitter account but are the gays this messy to not care enough to appropriate their wardrobe to be kid friendly? The themes here!? Smh.  I’ve been seeing allot of cringe outrage from conservatives lately and oddly allot of it seems to be about drag queens but it seems some members in our community are doing the most too and attracting this negative energy and imo it’s not fair to other drag artists.  Is This ok ?

as long as its not sexually explicit, i dont care. They can just do some threatrical bs, lipsync to a taylor pop song for all i care. Its the parents who ultimately choose if their kid goes there or not.

 

Now if theres provocative behaviors like stripping, throwing bills, lipsyncing to age inappropriate lyrics, its definitely not okay. Some ppl are sick and you dont know their intentions, especially if its a crowd with small children 

[FightForTanas]

  Since when are people so OBSESSED with what other people do with their kids? Are you people that bored with your lives?  What about all of the damn Gun shows in America that are infested with Families and kids walking around Assault rifles? Does anyone care about that?

Inappropriate.

[Cheers]

No. Idk why people are so determined to make drag queens PG rated.

"Not a fan of this twitter account" isn't some justification for posting it here. They are an utter danger to the community. 

 

Also the video literally just shows a couple of outfit reveals. The outfit underneath is not particularly revealing. Pop girls wear less on tours which children attend all the time. 

 

Is this inappropriate? 

 

Because there are literal children in this video that also contains sexual themes for a song with sexual lyrics. Yet a reasonable person can understand that nothing sexual actually happened with children in this video, children who are her fans won't understand the sexual themes in the lyrics or be harmed by her wearing skimpy/sexually suggestive outfits on the tour. Why does that kind of logic go out the window when a drag artist is involved?

hell no

I feel like there's a difference between drag queens (yas, slay, werk mama) and party clowns (Nina West reading Disney stuff to children)  

[alejandreaux]

really the only thing that was even slightly concerning was the provocative outfit, which someone already pointed out is not that out of line with what we see our major female pop stars wearing, or even something like what the WWE Divas would wear, which is a platform that has always welcomed a sizable percentage of children into its mostly adult fanbase:

 

as long as there isn’t anything explicitly sexual or adult oriented happening at any of these events listed above and there’s parental supervision, i don’t see the issue with it

I think it’s weird to wanna bring kids around drag queens. And to all the mad gays, yes it’s also weird to see kids at places like Hooters, etc. 

[XAMJ]

The self hate is real, drag shows can be all ages.

it's almost entirely the gay-panicking far right. it feels like NO one in the gay community actually wants this to happen besides some horrible queens who can't book normal club shows so they resort to this

[OreGuy]

All ages draw show does not mean you need to come tho? Stay at home if that's not the gig you want for your kids.

The performance in OP is completely fine and I have nothing against at all ages drag shows. At the same time though I think drag is inherently an art form not meant for children. Yes, it can be adapted for younger audiences, but it has to lose some of the elements that make it unique in order to do so. I'm not even talking about adult stuff, political and social commentary are also something that definitely wouldn't be appealing to kids.

[Oktober Knight]

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with have kids at a drag show. It's actually quite common. 

[JohnWayneHolland]

I mean as long as there's nothing sexual or with adult themes then i see nothing wrong with it  just like there's songs, movies and tv shows that kids can listen/watch and others that they can't there could also be some drag shows that they can watch and others that they can't 

[Cyanide]

Yeah I’m confused, in our community these types of drag shows almost exclusively happen in bars and brunches where people are drinking, feeling loose, and having fun. I see them as like burlesque shows and strip clubs catered towards gay men… 

Not really sure why people are marketing it towards children or why parents would take their kids to a drag show? 

 

Singing/variety/comedy performances are different though imo

 

 

[John Slayne]

children see far more nudity on the beach than at any family friendly drag show, it's just that you let conservativism rot your brains so you are unable to think critically for yourselves.

 

this discourse is tired, children entertainment has always been about playing dress up, costumes, and makeup, why are drag artists, who do all of those things, suddenly an issue? i'll give you a hint: homophobia. 

 

and please don't tell me that drag is 'adult entertainment', that's like saying all visual media are adult entertainment because corn videos and nudes exist. like obviously there are drag artists and events marketed towards adults but drag is so much more than that.

also, most of ATRL faves wear less clothes during their concerts in front of 10 year olds so don't come here talking about inappropriate drag queens if you support pop singers

 

you were okay with defending that Cardi B WAP performance at VMAs but suddenly you are outraged by a person in heavy makeup? please

[Buddy]

If it's PG and not sexually explicit, go for it.
