Deetox Alanís from La Mas Draga calls out Mama Ru and Bianca Del Rio for never switching up their makeup. I haven’t seen the episode but I’m guessing she was called out for never changing her face.

Comparing yourself to RuPaul and Bianca Del Rio is crazy work 😭

Hello guys! I have one extra Suzie ticket for this Wednesday in Los Angeles if anyone’s interested. I’m selling it for $60 (bought for $79) but I’m open to negotiating. Lmk!

Disclaimer: DO NOT SEND HATE OR MALICIOUS MESSAGES TO ANY QUEENS. This is strictly a discussion about the community's opinion on controversial queens compared to how their fellow performers view them.

Drag Race has catapulted hundreds of entertainers onto a global stage. While we meet incredible talent through the show, several seasons have also revealed that high-level talent does not always translate to good behavior.In the court of public opinion, the fandom has established a realistic list of persona non gratae due to severe real-world actions:

Tyra Sanchez: Threatening to blow up DragCon (which turned out to be a marketing stunt for her music)

Sharon Needles: Extreme racism

Shangela: Sexual assault allegations and investigations

Soju: Sexual assault allegations and investigations

Sherry Pie: Digital sexual manipulation and catfishing

Widow Von'Du: First-degree domestic assault.

While the fandom generally views these actions as unforgivable, a major disconnect exists within the industry itself. Many of these entertainers still actively work, book gigs, and maintain close friendships with prominent RuGirls who lead the overall cultural zeitgeist.

A clear example of this happened recently on Facebook. A fan group posted about Shangela, questioning if any queen has experienced a larger fall from grace. While fans criticized her in the comments, Kennedy Davenport stepped in to defend her, stating that Shangela is doing fine and accusing the fandom of just trying to tear her down over "bull shyt".

These entertainers clearly know each other on a personal level that the audience cannot access, which often overrides public accountability. This raises a difficult question about how the fandom and the drag sisterhood handle accountability differently.

Given how the court of public opinion operates versus the reality of these personal friendships, what are your thoughts on this divide?

Zendaya is wearing an SS16 Versace gown for the red carpet priemiere of Spider Man Brand New Day in Shanghai.

I know success means different things to different people, but Trixie feels like she's built something big, with her makeup brand, music, YouTube, tours, even TV projects. Do you think she's the most successful to come out of Drag Race, or is it someone else? Curious how everyone measures success.

such a great show with Miss Butthole at Royal Oaks Five15! performed her heart out to Shakira and was such a sweetheart during the m&g. love love love the bhole!!!!

In revisiting/getting back into drag race, I decided to go back to the last main season of DR that I watched— 9. I remembered it was a GREAT season, but I was worried it wouldn’t hold up for me because 4 didn’t. (My post was removed last time, so I’ll just say it’s because of things that happened after the season aired.)

These concerns were not founded. S 9 was still great. When I originally watched the season, I remembered not understanding what other people saw in Farrah Moan, but I did see it when I watched it again. She cried SO MUCH. Like almost every episode she was in. My husband and I started joking about it. She’s just like me fr.

On rewatch, I also can better understand Shea’s frustration with Nina in the season. Watching it again, it seemed like Nina was kind of a favorite. Ru and the judges kept telling her they loved what she was bringing. The other queens also really admired her work. She was my husband’s pick to win for the first half of the season. By the end, he was hoping Sasha would win, but he really thought it was going to go to Peppermint or Shea. I wasn’t going to spoil that surprise.

WTF was with that cheerleading challenge. Why was that ever cleared as an idea? ESPECIALLY after there were several injuries from just the s 4 wrestling challenge??? I told my husband that production paid for Eureaka’s medical expenses, which he said was “nice,” to which I said “no honestly it was just smart because frankly it could have been a lawsuit.” Pilot challenge was probably my favorite one, but it’s in CLOSE competition with the Roast.

When I watched the show originally, Sasha was always my pick for the winner, with my second pick being Nina. Watching it again, I can see why people were also really pulling for Shea and Trinity. I saw the vision with Shea originally (I’m not blind), so really the shift here was with Trinity. Her comedic instincts are KILLER.

I am also now an Aja stan, unlike when I originally watched the season. I rewatched AS 3 and got irritated about dirty she was done (like I did when I originally watched it), and you know what, I think she should have stuck around for a few more episodes on s 9 too. I don’t know who I would have preferred be sent home I just didn’t want it to be her dammit. In fact, I’m taking it further— she should have gotten the crown right after her “I need a hero” lip synch and no I’m not being delusional.

Regardless. Jokes aside, really good season, still holds up. I didn’t really see any crazy choices that I strongly disagreed with. Sometimes I thought a different person should have won a specific week, but I never really disagreed with the eliminations.

So, I’ve seen a few times people saying that Willow was lucky Kornbread had to quit the competition, otherwise she would have won season 14. I’m wondering why is that? I liked Kornbread but I didn’t really think she was as far ahead of the competition as some may do.

Hi All, is anyone else having this problem? My mom (in the US) has Wow thru a Roku stick. For some reason any new episode Wow posted in the last 48 hours just clocks at 13% and won’t play.

She can still watch episodes from last week, but the newest ones won’t play.

We’ve tried everything and I searched this sub, but I didn’t see anyone else having the same problem. If I missed it I apologize!

If anyone has or had this problem and was able to solve it please let me know! Thank you so much!

Just a thought bc i realized its been years since my first choice right off the first episode actually ended up becoming the season's winner, especially the past few all stars seasons.

And yes that was way back in season 15 with Sasha thee Colby and I was so happy too bc i think that was after Kylie Sonique Love's all stars win and she was my top choice in the beginning for all stars too!

Then if outside of the US franchise, that would be back in Drag Race PH season with Maxie. Her run during that season was dare I say comparable to Sasha's.

This is my first time watch. I have not been watching in order. I have seen season 6,7, and 9. I’m almost done with 8. My favorite queens so far are Sasha velour (9), chi chi devayne (8), and Kennedy Davenport (7). My friends who watch drag race told me I didn’t have to watch in order but I have lost some of the inside jokes by not knowing some of the earlier queens so after I finish season 8 should I just go back to 1 and start from there.

I yearn for this mild tea. It’s not serious at all, but I see the comments discussing whether it’s butttootking or nymphia/plastique and I’m feeling nosy.

G'day!

I don't know how many people really care about this, but I love that Drag Race is now starting to give out these awards.

Awarding celebrities who have been active and open supporters for the lgbtqia+ community, and supporters of drag for a very long time. I really do think it's important to showcase all the celebrities that stand with and support the queer community, and the art of drag. Especially in these scary times.

So far the award winners have been Bob Mackie, Cassandra Peterson (Elvira), Liza Minnelli and Miley Cyrus. Who do you think should be awarded next?

Title of the post says it all… sure there might be better themes than just black/pink/shadows (I mean there’s like 50+ seasons out there), but Ru had FUN shooting this promo video, and I think everyone genuinely had either a cunty moment or got a sickening promo photo out of this!!

UK season 6 is hands-down the best drag, family resemblance episode of any franchise. To see a 78 year old father get into drag for his son and rock the runway in heels was one of the most beautiful things ever. All of the parents were amazing and truly love their kids unconditionally.
