June 15th - Draw any drag queen
I like a lot super drags ,is actually a big step for latinoamerican animation ,the characters are really likeable and their problems are real ,is so important for brazilian lgbt+ people now with the politics in brazil
But when it premiered in english it started a ...
controversy with the series:
1- some say that the characters are stereotypes and it is not good for the LGBT + community
Yes the characters are stereotypes but is a comedy series
2-the humor is too hard and repulsive
Heres a thing that i would like to explain ,yes there were jokes that go too far ,but most of them are fine ,cause latino america has a very agressive humor ,when you watch some latinoamerican show it will be very hard jokes ,even in the kids shows (example villanos (mexico) or golpea duro hara (chile) theres is blood ,double sense jokes ,even swear words (but is the definition u.s.a has cause here saying demonios /infierno (hell) estupido (stupid) maldito ( damned) (etc) are not swears )
So if you think some jokes are really too far maybe dont watch it or do it in BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE (ORIGINAL) or LATINO AMERICAN SPAÑISH there will be more contex
3- horrible representation who did this dosent know anything
ALL of the people who made super drags are part of the community
Even the voices actors who are drag queens
Pabllo vittar drag queen and singer is goldiva
Silvetty Montilla drag queen is Vedete Champagne
In the english dub theres :
4-english dub dont do justice
Even with all of these talented drag queens it wasent the same as the original ,the jokes were changed and worst it erased one of the most important part of safira/ralph character their love for ANIME ,here in latam we still refer as people who love anime as an otaku (even when is know it meaning ) and the community here is huge brazil and mexico being the first places ,so ralph represent that, even safira desing takes elements of it (the wand ,miku hair ,the references ) so erasing that part of the character was a really bad move
But theres something more important
the politics in brazil since the election of its president bolsonaro has worsened every time more for lgbt + people
The president of brazil is racist homophobe who actually have change the laws in brazil to NOT protect lgbt people
"I would not be able to love a homosexual son, I'm not going to be a hypocrite here, I'd rather have a son of mine die in an accident than to appear with a mustachioed man out there" (2011, interview with a magazine).
"The thinnest Afro-descendant there weighed seven arrobas (old unit of measure) They do not do anything, I do not think they even serve to pro create " (2017, after visiting a "quilombo", a redoubt where people of African descent live, and comparing them with cows).
"I'm not going to fight or discriminate, but if I see two men kissing in the street I'm going to hit them" (2002, in an interview).
"The poor only has a use in our country: to vote, the voter's card in his hand is a donkey diploma in his pocket, he serves to vote for the government that is there, it only serves for that and nothing else."
"The mistake of the dictatorship was to torture and not to kill" (2016, during an interview on a Brazilian radio). He was talking about latino american ditatorships in the 80s where my granfather was tortured
"I do not take the risk because my children were very well educated" (2011, in an interview on TV, when questioned about how his reaction would be if one of his children fell in love with a black woman).
And this is the most important reason super drags IS IMPORTANT EVEN IF IS NOT PERFECT it gives strength and hope to a lot in the country when this awful men is making laws that why we supported
Goldiva and scarlet faced the same problems with their family even when goldiva grew up rich and scarlet in a fabela
