@wednesday@ni.hil.ist i, at minimum, definitely get what you're aiming at a bit more when you separate it out like that. seeing like, RuPaul's drag race vs like, lil secret-gay-societies separated from normal culture, trying to be themselves without getting arrested or killed...

but, i think that's less of a "drag" thing than it is a "reality tv/network television" thing yknow? like. there's still a lot of... let's call them "outdated" views on presentations of women, which then gets like, the extra layer of like cis-straight-network-suits trying to "get" queer culture while simultaneously destroying what made it queer...

idk, that's at least how i think about it. i get what you were tryin to say.
