Guys just looking pretty or achieving 'realness' was never interesting for more than a few moments. Funny people like Martin Lawrence, Divine, Milton Berle, Tyler Perry, Flip Wilson, Jamie Foxx... are what is remembered.

Many on Datalounge predicted this backlash against drag queens, calling it "woman face".

r5 "Womanface"?That is a bold "fuck you" to the LGBTQIA+ power monopoly.

I have nothing against drag shows. It's quaint. But I love to see queer men question the internalized hate of our own culture.

Fascinating question. I’ve never thought of this idea before, ever. Especially not forty years ago and repeatedly every few years after that. This is a completely fresh take — possibly revolutionary — and will enlighten a lot of our sharpest, brightest minds.

Drag is the last vestige of what was called "gay culture". Like all culture it's dying.

Men in dresses is funny if the material is funny and performer is talented. Guys in drag, no matter how 'fabulous' they look, but acting like fucking angry cunts, telling nasty jokes that come from their deep insecurity is not funny. Ever. And that's what a huge percentage of drag is to me.

As has been pointed out countless times before: people switching gender roles as performers to express humor goes back centuries.
