A courteous word about LGBT representation

I’ve been to a couple of drag shows/brunch, and they all involved dudes wearing more clothes than waitresses at hooters.

I’m skeptical you’ve been to any if at all.

We need to release the rubber ducks and everyone will take naps all day and have vivid dreams about the good rubber duck arguing with the evil rubber duck

I think you are lying, or you have internalized homophobia and attacking your own community with made up bs to get brownie points from anti-LGBT people.

You’re the one who’s MAKING it poltical. As always. The only ones that make it political are the ones that have a problem with it.

You know what the world could do to make LGBTQ rights, and all the facets thereof of it, not political?

Nothing. They could do nothing. Literally stop whinging about it. Stop having opinions about it. Stop pretending it affects them. Problem gone, over night.

“This goes beyond life and death. No other path leads to true duckdome. How can you not see that??”

“Why can’t I escape this torment??”

The rubber duck has existed from the morning of the world & shall exist until the last star falls from the night.

I’m gay and I agree with them and not with you

Are you Crizzly? You started chatting a lot and they stopped.

The only child abuse occurring at drag shows is the abuse from the people showing up to threaten the performers.

It’s very telling you don’t acknowledge that being a thing. That people are reacting to simple events with violence.

I saw a clip today showing this. Truly horrifying and heartbreaking.

It’s amazing how absurdly often that happens in these threads.

For example, the OP of this thread, who is almost definitely an alt of someone else still hanging around the thread!

Again; you are conflating drag and child abuse, in the same way that it would be to conflate strippers and child abuse if a parent took their child to a strip club. The two things are unrelated. Child abuse is child abuse, drag shows are drag shows. One does not beget the other.

There are a lot of examples of heterosexual people taking children to places they don’t belong but you only see right-wing outrage about it when it also involves LGBT people.

There are right-wing militias showing up at drag shows, which they haven’t seen but assume are sexual. Why aren’t they going to movie theaters to threaten parents for bringing their children to R-rated movies? Is it illegal to take children to a nude beach? It feels kinda gross just googling but I checked because I wasn’t sure, and apparently it isn’t! Why aren’t right-wingers terrorizing nude beaches?

Sorry, I didn’t actually mean to imply you were; given you have 1300 posts and 19500 achievement points it’s likely you’re just you. I was actually speaking generally.

I don’t if Funimation dubbed it, but I did see it in English on TV once so I believe so.

You and Crizzly have similar views. You must be best friends.

That wasn’t an incident, that was an instance of str8 people taking their children to see a drag show at an ice cream parlor, and that sign is kind of a bawdy joke with a double meaning (about ice cream and I guess something that looks like :eggplant:).

That isn’t proof that the LGBT community is up to no good; it’s proof that str8 people took their kids to a place where a lot of people feel that they shouldn’t have taken their kids (but where it isn’t illegal—just objectionable in many people’s opinion, just like how taking kids to see R-rated movies is objectionable). It’s weird that LGBT people are getting blamed for it!

Bit funny how he’s so focused on the drag bit but he won’t even look the bit about people expressing and threatening hate to the shows.

The silence speaks loud on that huh?

You’re inventing things (or being told things, more likely), that simply aren’t the case. No organisation is supporting child abuse. “It’s not gonna lick itself” on a sign is half as crude as many of the signs at a Trump rally, for christ’s sake.

That said; that particular event was wrong, on both sides. One side massively overhyped the story, the other presented the event as family friendly while retaining the racier side of their comedy. Most people from BOTH sides didn’t think it was particularly appropriate, and said as much, but from the LGBTQ side they also used it as a platform to point out the wide-spread hypocrasy that that would be seen as utterly unfathomable, while cheerleaders twerking their butts at sporting events is seen as just fine.

At the end of the day, a sign saying “it’s not going to lick itself” at an Ice-Cream parlour is FUNNY, and the vast majority of children will entirely miss the joke anyway. Such double entendres exist all over the place in “straight” media too. Google adult references in Disney Movies and be amazed that Texas hasn’t banned Disney outright.

I’m not sure what this has to do with WoW anymore

But as many have said “there’s not enough content”

I wouldn’t be on the forums at all if there was any more loot to gain for the week

But here we are so, :popcorn:
