Rupauls drag race is straight peoples drag
Let me explain
While Rpdr has played a big part in the normalization of drag and queer art it’s still held to the standard of gender norma and sex conformity. In Rpdr it’s common to see queens be chastised for not having enough padding, not looking enough like a girl. Rpdr has created this idea that instead of an art form that includes all genders and all gender presentation it’s just male to female,e makeup. Queens have been in the bottom for just not looking “female enough”. We also see this in other unspoken rules of drag race like always wearing heels and padding. While Rpdr is very important for drag as is (almost) all mainstream queer media it’s filtered through the norms required to keep it comfortable for straight people so they don’t have to do actual contemplation on how they view the world as a whole. (and there’s a whole conversation about how this also ties into transphobia but I really need to go to bed)
