Can you explain in detail what you don’t like about rupauls drag race?
Sure, I’d be happy to explain in full detail.
I don’t like RuPaul because he regularly uses transphobic slurs and claims that the trans people who ask him to stop just have bruised egos.
I don’t like RuPaul because he claims that “no one has ever said the word tr*nny in a derogatory sense.”
I don’t like RuPaul because he stated on-air that he believes the only difference between men in drag and trans women is “About twenty-five thousand dollars and a good surgeon.”
I don’t like RuPaul because he had to be pressured by his network in order to discontinue a game on his show where his contestants attempted to clock drag queens the way they do trans women by labeling them with the s-slur.
I don’t like the RuPaul because he proudly defended Shirley Q. Liquor, a drag queen who performs in literal blackface. He said Liquor is “not racist” and “Critics who think Shirley Q. Liquor is offensive are idiots.”
I don’t like the show because one of its most popular contestants created a YouTube video where he “appeared to shoot and kill a trans woman (caricatured as having a wig and mustache) for objecting to certain language used by drag queens.” (This link is a step removed, as I’m not comfortable linking my followers directly to that kind of violence.)
So if I can sum that up, I “don’t like” RuPaul because he fucking hates me and my community.
I remember bringing up this topic like a year ago almost exactly, except I didn’t have all of these links and I got called out and blocked by shitloads of trans tumblr (or at least the side of trans tumblr that loves to defend RPDR) and people telling me, a broke ass trans woman with nowhere to go, no money to get there and hardly any resources at all, that I needed to go to more gay bars and check out the underground scene lol
But here you go, to all the people who didn’t block me.
I personally don’t watch because I was asked not to by a trans woman back in 2007-2008 I think, talking about how she and many others felt thrown under the bus by RuPaul (who’s early burlesque work “genderfuck” was a fascinating dissection of gender identity) taking ball culture mainstream and making it for gay men instead of all queer folk. In a nutshell she explained: while normalizing LGBT culture is a good thing and has given career opportunities to marginalised folks, to present ball/drag culture without the full spectrum of identities is to do it a disservice. Once on air and in demand, they should have expanded the diversity and never punched down.
I wouldn’t ask anyone not to watch but to at least watch critically and not be dismissive of those who find it painful because they’ve been told they were just gay drag queens not women.
OP’s post is pretty much exactly why I stopped watching RPDR as well.
And like @firespirited said, if you do still watch it, do so critically.
Unrelated, but also worth mentioning, RuPaul supports fracking which is disappointing as well.
hi there! i saw this post (/post/190426117160) and i was wondering, where do you watch the show with english subtitles? and btw, thank you for this blog!!! ♡
hey! unfortunately I added those subtitles to that screencap myself precisely because the video itself didn’t have reliable subtitles. I imagine they’re quite challenging for people to caption given how chaotic they are, I’m sorry this doesn’t help :(
Also, hi everyone! sorry I went MIA for like 8 years but I haven’t abandoned this blog, I promise!
