Recommended Posts

I find them a lot more interesting than drag queens personally but it's seems they have almost no visibility. Atrl never seems to acknowledge them at all.

How are they "more interesting than drag queens?"  I saw a drag king  on matty Morphisis interview and I understood why they are still very very very much niche.

For the same reason male popstars get much less media coverage than female popstars. Because they're boring

Not yas queen slay mama boots the house down enough for people, but you could find them in lesbian bars, I think.

I definitely have seem some very entertaining Drag King performances, but I agree that imitating men is just not as interesting especially visually.

y'all don't watch Dragula and it shows 

 

but also - support your local drag scene. drag kings tend to be more common in local scenes, in my experience an average drag show at a local gay bar is more diverse than a season of RPDR. as much as we can celebrate RuPaul's achievements, he's not all that drag has to offer.

They're not loud enough and people aren't here for them in comparison.

U can pass for a drag king tbh. My friend is a drag king and she had a similar look to you.

Part of the popularity of drag queens is the controversy and marginalisation of men being genderqueer and performing exaggerated/caricaturised femininity. The inverse is considered uneventful just because it's seen as substantially more acceptable. Similarly butch lesbians and trans men are seen as infinitely more palatable and acceptable than queer men or trans women because masculinity is seen as ideal and the inverse is not true.
