Just going to take a moment to speak on this. I think personally American Drag Race fans specifically do not have the same love for black queens as they do “fashion” skinny girls. I’m saying this based off the following behind ACTUAL royalty who has done the work and showed off-
@dragraceher
I mean kinda Generic. The lineup is Willam, Detox, Kim, Sasha, Trixie, Bob, and Derrick. Objectively some of the most popular queens from the show. Like it gives I’ve seen clips of DR but never actually watched it
Perfect example, ACTUAL WINNER
@jaidaehall
still has not reached 1 million followers despite being on a tv show that is airing, and being on a season of Drag Race that was semi current(AS7)
@RuPaulsDragRace
@paramountplus
Call me shady, this cast is no where near the star level of AS6, like I’m not trying to be shady. It just seems they chose ones who were kinda meh on their seasons
-their perfection on the show and off. I think we need to stop being either fake fans or stop not caring cuz the way these two were in my opinion the only serious competition for the crown and yet after a while they haven’t gotten much recognition. I know Sapphira is new but stil
@SalinaEstitties
But you’re able to use “ok yt girl” as a response. As a fellow Latino, I’m literally sharing that you turned that accent on and off. I do it too sometimes if I’m excited or something but at least ADMIT IT, pls don’t lie and try and use ur race as a shield
@IrfanCyrus
@monetxchange
Baby this ain’t bullying they are two very talented winners of drag in general giving their opinions which they get paid for “Sibling Rivalry” so stop victimizing aura she does it enough already
@tennisbagz
Am I the only one who thinks Jorgeous winning a season of DR is crazy? I love her face and body movements and her growth needs to be studied but if the cast was AS8 -minus Jimbo Kandy and Jessica sure. Not shade, just curious when this narrative started
@roughdeer
Girl I think you were doing FINE as a lil Twinky. I’m sure you get more attention now but let’s not act like both pictures aren’t the only generally “accepted” body types in the gay community
@ntItcblvd
she quite literally did NOT earn it. Do yall just casually forget how she won a challenge and gave up afterwards, that is not something Rupaul wants to see and that 100% kept her out the finale
@_pastel_markers
Did her dirty: won a challenge that didn’t belong to her, did poorly in the challenges she lip synced so it was deserved, constantly complimented on her makeup, made it to top 2 when another constestant had a better track record. Yea ok
@isaacjarae
I think her voice and face again hurt her, she won but idk why personally with that runway. Y’all live for mama but like idk I’ve NEVER seen it
@NoriTheGay2
@vivalasdrag
But the thing is she was going for an alien and that guy was clearly trying to mimic black people, the photo is in black and white but IRL there is a much browner hue to it which made it even more racist
@heatwave1212
KITTY AINT NEVER BEEN AMAZING LIKE YALL SAY, I love when UK queens specifically 1 winner and a bunch of contestants get passes on bad runways cuz they are “camp queens” it’s tired and that’s why UK is done after S6
@Vessyteena
It’s their fault personally. You should know going back as a 3 time / 4 time queen people are GONNA say oh there are others more deserving. Plus like Lemon was a fan fav but it is funny why she’s back in Canada
@smintyschiffer
This would’ve EATEN as a cast like Peppa could’ve been redeemed, Viñas would’ve easily been top 4. Margaret wouldn’t have someone coming for her makeup weekly, and Enorma could’ve been the first contestant to come back AFTER being disqualified
@kornbreadTMFS
I mean the whole point of miss c to me is who is the nicest in a competition. How the hell would the fans know that? Cuz on and off camera people I’m sure are different
@slaycou1ee
Crazy to show how much y’all fans want to EASILY villanize a yt cis queer person just cuz we’ve recently been given that label like it wasn’t forced on all of us since they’re happen to be some yt right wing people.
EX:
@angelsdragged
Respectively no, the only true winners for me after watching every one of those seasons was Marina and Aurora, like I love how people just forget that Nymphia had so little confessionals and challenges where she was VERY mid and Plastique losing 5 lip syncs? Is CRAZY
@TheDragPolls
Let’s be clear on something. If they crown who has been visibly favored thus far I will actually be mad and that’s mainly because while the look is not 50% of the mark the personality and performance of said queen in NO way represents worldly high drag like cmon now
@luxxdemuse
We need to speak on Cara more cuz the way she was easily top 4 from the promo and was given the winner edit those first 3 episodes. I need her back on a VS TW to win
@TheDragPolls
@itsqueenicesis
Probably one of the most versatile talented winners we have. Def the best out of CDR and that’s no shade but comparing her to every winner we’ve had (on their respective seasons) she really eats where ever she can. Especially with S4 oop-
@NoriTheGay2
@vivalasdrag
Of Jimbo? Cuz no one owns black paint babes she didn’t say she was doing a black character so move onnnn like you don’t get to interpret something someone did as offensive cuz you don’t touch grass
@alsoabouteve
Girl everyone’s too sensitive. They know it’s tv they know what they’re doing the girl wanted to say this is a game not friendships so okkkk. Alyssa ate with that read and the girls were plucked
@hjuikip
I mean full tea if they judged FAIRLY Nymphia was the clear worst that week regardless of runway, and Plastique did do the worst imho next to Vanjie
@missthing_drag
I think the writing was there, but the performances really did rely on individual girls. Synthia Gia Kendall Pythia KILLED. The others could’ve but they just weren’t in sync
@slayycoulee
Because Ru doesn’t really LOVE alternative drag. Sharon was basic asf to think about it like a bald cap and some blood. Willow is in no way spooky and Yvie showed versatility in her runways
@farriwarri
Ya cuz the fans for some reason need something specifically to garner their interests, especially with a black queen. If Kennedy Davenport wasn’t the actual dancing diva of the franchise do you think she’d be respected as much? Nah cuz these fans will discredit ANYONE
@MchughRocco
@sedderaside
I think rightfully is an interesting word choice. We all saw how she performed in challenges/lip syncs. It’s not like she SLAYEDDDD. She had good moments but it didn’t add up to a crown
@_SofaKingPetty
Let’s normalize having a variety of favorites, and let’s normalize not excusing behavior committed by the fandom when a black queen over performs their favorites then they proceed to send hate 😊
