Oh you’re one of those lunatics.
Like yeah I have my issues with the misogyny present in many drag queen’s acts. Many others mock gendered expectations as a whole and can be quite funny without offense. But what would I know, I’ve only been discussing the feminist theory around drag in lesbian and lgbt spaces for most of a decade and have had my mindset influenced by bio queens and some particularly amusing drag kings as well as some drag queens who clearly have respect and awe for the women they parody.
So yeah, also not even close to blackface.
Uhm, drag shows are absolutely not comparable in any way to blackface. The fact that you make that comparison reveals that you have little to zero understanding of drag or its history.
