Distantconstellation Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited July 8 by terrijoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny789 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I definitely have seem some very entertaining Drag King performances, but I agree that imitating men is just not as interesting especially visually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Slayne Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 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. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinorhino Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
