On the 'Oversaturation' of RPDR...
Added 2022-10-11 00:31:42 +0000 UTCDo you feel Rupaul's Drag Race and its many international spin-offs have oversaturated the drag market?
I.E. Do you perceive that being a "Ru-Girl" has less career impact on any individual contestant than the era where there were no international versions of drag race?
I know this question is LOADED with qualifiers and quantifiers alike, but I'm asking generally to gauge public opinion on this topic.

Do you struggle to keep up with international spin-offs? Do you care about the international spin-offs as much as the US versions of RPDR?
Do you find yourself following less queens on various platforms?
Do you buy in-person Ru-Girl drag show tickets more often or less often nowadays?
Do you buy merch from more or less queens than you used to?
Do you follow as many queens as you used to across various social media platforms?

I think part of the problem is that there is no single streaming platform to watch all of them! Some international ones we have to find ‘alternative’ ways to view- we haven’t watched Spain 2 yet for this reason even though we’ve only heard incredible things. Had to have a new personal rule to only follow the queens after they’ve been eliminated otherwise spoilers show up in my socials that I would like to avoid otherwise. We live in Toronto so we’re lucky to have VOSS events and other Ru-Girl starting shows come through, but bigger venues means higher priced tickets and longer lines for merch that I won’t always hang around for.
