@raphjd Opinions can vary - it's cool.
I am 100% opposed to drag shows for kids.
First, remember, they're kids - Captive audience, don't know any better, can't escape, easily misled, very easily scarred.
Second - Drag is just gay blackface.
Would you oppose minstrel shows for kids? I would.
Minstrelsy was rarely, if ever, openly hostile to blacks. It was always "just fun - what the heck is wrong with you? We're only having good clean fun, killjoy." What made it racist was
the stereotyping of blacks
the fact that white performers were presuming to do it.
Re-read the above switching to female stereotypes displayed & lampooned by male performers.... "with love", of course, "in fun".....do you see how drag is the same as minstrelsy? A deeply sexist form of entertainment.
If you're an adult, OK drag out, "you do you". After all, libs still blackface. Here's Justin Trudeau, Canada PM & world-famous lib, in blackface: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-votes-2019-trudeau-blackface-brownface-cbc-explains-1.5290664
But with kids, yeah there's that & the added curse of the sexualization/grooming thing.
The drag queen's name is what it is - "Pussy Galore" or whatever - I know they're more original & varied than that - but always a sexual innuendo - no getting around that part.
And it gets worse from there: https://twitter.com/uhler_jon/status/1583313203521794048
The whole point of drag-for-kids is, inject extreme sexual awareness into young kids, breaking down societal boundaries around sex & age. Some call that activism, others (rightly) call it grooming.
It can never be made family-friendly. Or not-sexist either.
