Does anyone else think the shock value of drag queens has gone away? I keep seeing new events with drag queens and frankly it's getting pretty annoying. Drag queen bingo, story time with drag queens, etc. I no longer go to drag shows because I honestly find them pretty horrible now. The "I am so fierce and will just insult everyone" humor is really tired and not funny. Being over the top just to be over the top is understandably part of their shtick but it's just boring now. When I want that kind of entertainment I would much rather go to a burlesque show. Those acts are usually a lot more thought out and show some element of story telling. When you take away the "Hey! Look at me, I'm a drag queen! Gasp!" shock there really is not much left but a horrible show.
Drag shows are still great for someone's first time out because they can be usually be considered a safe space. But uggh, enough with pairing drag queens doing mundane activities because it's not entertainment. It's a money grab and needs to stop.
