RuPaul's Drag Race

🎲

Reality competition show criticized for becoming soulless as contestants began focusing on social media curation and expensive custom outfits rather than DIY creativity.

"It's so souless now. Really most of reality TV is. I miss the days of Supernanny, Wife Swap, old-school Survivor."
"I find it to be the most annoying show on so many levels. It's the over-the-top pageantry of Broadway on steroids, wrapped up with smug undertones of liberal right-think and a general air of whorishness. I don't doubt the talent of the contestants, but the mainstreamification of drag as an "artform""

"Drag race stans are fucking deranged it's people in tacky makeup acting campy dancing to fun pop songs and these fans take it sooooo seriously and refuse to think it should be fun or edgy. There's no pleasing these people ever. They want us to feel oppressed"

"Of the 5, only one (Kerri Colby) was openly trans walking into the show, and the other four have transitioned after the show was filmed. Seeing a lot of talk on twitter about how Kerri Colby is going around "transing" the cast, which seems a bit iffy to me. Don't really understand the uptick of tran"
"Is this all just a result of the popularity of Rupaul's drag race, or is something else going on? Drag queen story time, drag queen singsong on kids shows, politicians meeting with drag queens (Keir Starmer has just done this)"
