not you bussy... You the real MVP. I meant "you" as a general term for the readers. not YOU though. I fucking love you girl.

2021-06-04 17:11:10 +0000 UTCI don't understand. maybe it's my age... but it's freaking theater and drag people. impersonating other personas is part of it. I would understand if they were being derogatory or hurtful to those cultures, but the real tea is that this is an homage. playing fierce and opening the library is what a queen does! we don't discriminate dark makeup when somebody does a mexican lineage trope, or geisha face. the real racism is that you see it at all. the real person offended is you and only WHITE you being offended for somebody else. how dare you. you took something campy and fun and turned it into racism because of YOUR appropriation of being the victim FOR THEM. queen, get of your box and stop being a victim for another race. let them speak for themselves. you are real racism.
