I have no problem with drag. Where I start to have a BIG problem is when kids are dragged (lol) into it. In the us drag shows, at least I feel, are more adult oriented, and when you start showing kids something that they are clearly uncomfortable with and shouldn't even have been shown to begin with. That's where I draw the line. Keep it to adult only places, not schools and libraries where kids can be exposed to it.

In the us drag shows, at least I feel, are more adult oriented,
Just because you went to some burlesque drag show does not mean drag is inherently adult. Like when drag queens come to read to children, how is someone in a dress and wig reading children's stories "Adult Oriented"? would you consider a cis woman dressed as Elsa from frozen reading to kids to be "Adult oriented"? I mean ive seen some pretty "Adult" cosplay performances so all cosplay must be adult oriented right? ๐คก
Pantomimes with people in drag has existed well before any of this fake social outrage has occurred. When I was a kid I watched Pantomimes. I left thinking "wow that was funny" it wasn't anything sexual at all.
It's literally just comedy, that is all it is.
Same with Dame Edna on nightly game shows. I never saw it as anything sexual, a kid literally won't unless you're out here describing in graphic detail what a male and a female sex organ looks like, a kid isn't going to know or even care. Most kids just see someone who is different and goes about their own business playing and having fun, do they sometimes ask questions? Sure, do you need to answer and explain in graphic detail? No, that's on you if you do, not drag performers.
How do you feel about scary movies or violent video games? Same thing?

Why am I getting "error: language_not_allowed" when I try to comment in this thread?
I'm using connect for droid. I haven't had this problem before. Is it a Lemmy error, is it a lemmy.world error, or is it a connect for Lemmy error?
This posted. So, are there certain words I can't use on lemmy.world? If so that seems weird, unless the list exists somewhere so I can remove whatever word is problematic.
"Religious discrimination". I don't think you can vehemently discriminate against a group of people and then claim YOU'RE the one being discriminated for it simply existing.
Is this anything to do with the whole "We're here, we're queer, we're coming for your children" thing?
<3 Seeeee??? This is what I'm hear for. Haha. Thanks for such a lively debate! Carry on...
Ouch! I was just pleasantly surprised to see so many comments! This is my second post to the Lemmy-verse and after a day at work, I come home to this being a popular post. ๐
But I am also the one leaving the party at 9:45pm to go to bed. ๐ You all aren't wrong there!
I don't typically have much time during the week to spend time online, but I'm so happy to see this community building so quickly!
Also, screw you Google for listening to the nutty people in your organization and removing the support for a simple drag event.
There is a feeling of massive change on the horizon. This community might easily become my new home in the online world. Thanks to all of you!
