The john brown movement
is there a drag queen named Jeanne Brown yet
I guess its open bro
I’ve volunteered at Pride a few times, been to more, and honestly I tell people if they’re in those events and are in danger (like someone is following them or they feel scared after an incident) to look for drag queens and go straight towards them.
I have personally witnessed how militant they can be when it comes to protecting weaker folk, and some of them are RIPPED!! I don’t really know exactly what the reasoning behind it is, though in my experience they’ll keep you safe.It’s even better when they stay in character as well, “bye, baby we don’t need that here”.
“Calm down puddin’, ain’t nobody tryin’ to eat your pie…. -SMACK-”
Drag Queens are the enforcers of the community
If they weren’t confident in defending themselves they wouldn’t be confident enough to wear the uniform.
Matthew Shepard shoulda stayed strapped
I love this and resonate with this far too much.
But quick question, what’s the screeching cat symbol and where do I learn more? My Google Fu is lacking and the closest I see is union representation?
It means this post is a tankie plant to encourage oppressed demographics to sabotage western democracies. This post in particular is fairly benign, but it’s absolutely a rabbit hole leading to violent preemptive action.
My insane conspiracy theories aside, a better group to organize with would be Blahaj Zone because at least they can openly denounce Xi Jinping.
Damn, anarchists are tankies now too? And how could “oppressed demographics” even exist in “western democracies”? And doesn’t oppressed kind of suggest that any violent action wouldn’t be “preemptive”?
They believe in Anarchy abroad, order at home. About as much real anarchist as they were real communists: not at all.
Queer liberation, not rainbow capitalism!
ok but rainbow capitalism is pretty funny, i imagine a lorax situation where instead of thneeds it’s global destruction of the world over painting rainbows on everything.
Denounce Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin with 1 reason each and then I will promptly apologize and edit my comment for being wrong.
i see no such connotation on the wikipedia article about the symbol? this seems very far fetched and it’s kind of ironic to talk about sabotage when it seems like you’re the one sowing dissent.
Using a decades old anarchist symbol is a clear sign of just picking one at random to camouflage yourself.
what about the drag kings ? ?
beats dying over a conservative that doesnt understand basic economic theory and doesn’t believe in a thing called “reality” because they subscribe to an alternate version of reality that quite literally doesnt exist.
wtf is a drag queen?
Is this a bit or do you really not know what drag is?
A drag queen is (usually) a man who dresses in an exaggerated female style for performances, and often have an over the top or pun stage name (ex: Divine, Kim Chi).
Registered 1 week ago and this is their only comment. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt but…
But now a whole lot of people are better informed. Save the hand wringing for if they come back in bad faith. Or as my mom used to say, don’t borrow trouble.
Yeah, I regret the comment now and I have apologised to OP.
If they’re ESL I totally get it. Neither of the two component words in their most common use would lead you to the correct meaning.
I learned English (3rd language) and the phrase “dressed in drag” made no sense to me
They really love catching the wind and upping their coefficient. It calls to the soul
No I had no clue. Only know the word as a verb or in the context of drag coeficient. Thank you for the explanation.
Sorry for doubting you
now imagining drag queens standing in wind tunnels to study the aerodynamics of their attire, with scientists standing on the side rubbing their chins wisely
the words honestly are confusing. i can admit that. out of context “drag queen” would mean nothing to me either.
as i understand it, a drag queen is someone (usually a man?) who dresses up in flamboyant clothing of the opposite gender and takes on a character, like a stage identity, and everyone’s stage identity is individual to themselves. from what I’ve seen, the stories behind a stage identity are often as interesting as the costumes themselves, which can be very intricate and eye catching.
drag queen competitions can feature singing, dancing, showmanship, acrobatics, comedy, and are a good time, check one out if you get a chance.
(usually a man?)
Often yes, but not always. Women occasionally dress as drag queens. The whole idea is to be absurdist, taking femininity to the extreme, being flamboyant, and gay as fuck.
It’s absolutely amazing too
Accurate. Woman (or men, I guess, never seen it myself) can also be Drag Kings, which is the same idea of applying extreme flamboyance to the concept of masculinity. Things like exaggerated handlebar mustaches, very well-coifed beards, cod pieces, lip syncing to Elvis, etc. Still also supremely gay!
that just sounds like randy savage
If a woman is dressed as a drag queen, is it sill “gay as fuck”?
Absolutely, because drag is inherently, culturally queer. It’s like putting on a Freddy Mercury costume as a straight cis dude. Even if you yourself aren’t a part of the LGBT, the act itself is queer.
Pro wrestling without quite so much machismo.
i like how it’s always the fairly innocuous questions that gets shit. That’s my favorite part of the internet. We have so much respect for people, except for the ones we don’t like, and even less for the ones who we think might be doing a little bit of trolling.
The internet wouldn’t be the internet otherwise.
