This is absolutely on brand. Can’t trust these companies to do what’s right.

    I have no problem with drag. Where I start to have a BIG problem is when kids are dragged (lol) into it. In the us drag shows, at least I feel, are more adult oriented, and when you start showing kids something that they are clearly uncomfortable with and shouldn’t even have been shown to begin with. That’s where I draw the line. Keep it to adult only places, not schools and libraries where kids can be exposed to it.

      A drag show is not inherently “adult oriented”, whatever that means. It’s good to teach children to be accepting. If we are going to ban something for the sake of the children, let’s ban child beauty pageants.

      Pantomimes with people in drag has existed well before any of this fake social outrage has occurred. When I was a kid I watched Pantomimes. I left thinking “wow that was funny” it wasn’t anything sexual at all.

      It’s literally just comedy, that is all it is.

      Same with Dame Edna on nightly game shows. I never saw it as anything sexual, a kid literally won’t unless you’re out here describing in graphic detail what a male and a female sex organ looks like, a kid isn’t going to know or even care. Most kids just see someone who is different and goes about their own business playing and having fun, do they sometimes ask questions? Sure, do you need to answer and explain in graphic detail? No, that’s on you if you do, not drag performers.
