#DragRace
fandom hates on a black frontrunner in favor of an Asian queen, I'd have 4. Which is not a lot, but it's weird that it happened 4 times
It's always "don't bring race into it" when the argument is literally about it. The day the fandom realizes black and brown queens get treated worse by the fandom than white and Asian ones is the day we can truly heal
We have to stop going to race about everything… they do be rigging the competition for folks, Jinx, Alaska, Jimbo are the first people to come to mind… it’s okay to call out favoritism when we see it, it’s nothing against the queens, it’s production that’s the problem
@AdrianasBBElle
Did Raja or Nymphia lock their accounts for their safety? Were people sending them death threats because they wanted Manila/Alexis or Sapphira/Plane to win? Did people say they won solely based on their ethnicity? The pattern is very clear here
@CrazyCaffeine_
Y’all drag race social justice warriors are annoying af, y’all make things worse for queens of color, like y’all should be posting queens praising them, y’all not doing anything but egging on the white racist fans to be racist because they see they can cause meltdowns
@Android17Story
One common denominator between them all: hate towards black queens from the fans of Asian queens. But since we're going there, the majority of black frontrunners and winners got a ton of flack from the fandom. Do you have the tea on that?
@alehyQ
Kinda hard to do that when you have queens like Shea and Tia verbally attacked for weeks after their crowning. And if it's truly about "talent", why does the fandom try to diminish the frontrunner's (Angie and Sapphira) progress in the name of the 2nd/3rd place Asian queen?
@only1riles
You missed the plot. Y'all are quick to say "stop bringing race into it" when it's quite literally a pattern at this point. The only time this didn't happen was season 4. And y'all take the "complaining" to another level by writing thinkpieces trashing them. Give it up Deelicious
@L_i_A_M_K
Lots of queens start strong, it's all in how you finish. Nymphia had the worst track record of the top 3. Plastique and Angie have 3 wins but Angie won the lipsyncs, making her the frontrunner.
You're just dumb.

So those black churches, Jewish temples, Muslim mosques, and gay nightclubs were shot and blown up by cishet straight white Christian men out of pure coincidence? Please touch grass
@only1riles
You're still missing the point. When Tia and Shea won, they got Brita levels of hate sent their way. The only white winner that got the same treatment was Blu. Willow was literally eliminated and she didn't get the same treatment. Deny all you want, but it's white obvious
@AdrianasBBElle
Damn, y'all still forget about Tyra. As for favoritism, Raja birthed the Sasha Colby edit and Nymphia was saved from the bottom at least twice. But I'm glad you agree the hate is ridiculous. But it just feels like some fans are using those queens as a way to go below the belt
