Mattel is undeterred. View Iframe URL. The clip inspired backlash and discussion among well-known drag enthusiasts including actor Daniel Franzese , fellow drag queens, and Drag Race fans alike.
After Drag Race alum Tyra Sanchez initially boosted the video on her own social media, Bergdorf followed suit; she then became became a lightning rod for the conversation on Twitter, taking Mattel to task for her comments, much in the vein of other criticism leveled at Mattel. It also shows the extent to which you lack understanding of how pop culture can set a bar for what people think is publicly acceptable behaviour.
View on Twitter. So annoying. And as a comedy queen, is that the best you can do? For some, that context she mentions — a roast — is significant. In fact, in a clip posted to Twitter from an unspecified date of the same tour, Jinkx Monsoon essentially warned the audience that some jokes were going to be uncomfortable before the show even began. Nothing about any of this is going to be politically correct. I think that the audience who came to the roast consented to politically incorrect humor the moment they bought the ticket.
When someone films it and puts it on the Internet, it removes that layer of mutual consent. For others, drag queens making scandalous or inappropriate jokes is just a typical part of being, well, a drag queen.
America is messy and it is reflected in this experience. The best way to move forward is to do just that: move forward with love and light.
And please, keep sending me these lovely messages. I need them and I appreciate them. I was also disappointed [by not winning], but the only thing you can control in life — even when the rules change — is how you react.
Trust me, honey, I will never give up. But I feel like this is a recurring theme every season. Why do you think Drag Race fans, in particular, get so vicious about this show?
Look at sports. You want to talk about crazy, you talk about these…. These fans, they burned the city down [after the Super Bowl]. We love that our fans are invested. Should we feed into the negativity? But should we honor their feelings? Yes, I think we should! Baby, when you have grief, you have to feel it.
I feel like the queens on this show usually always take the attitude of, well, we should hush the angry fans up. The people who do that are usually the girls that sometimes might not represent the most positive things themselves. They were only doing it because, at the time, they were experiencing bullying. Later on down the season when other girls were experiencing bullying, they were dead silent on the anti-bullying campaign! You have to watch out for those girls. In the end, it turns out they were some of the biggest bullies in the end.
You have to watch where your messages are coming from and always be true to you. Just let it be! Were you surprised that only one queen — Thorgy of all people — voted for you to advance to the top two? I was very disappointed that those became the rules. But, to see that none of the girls gave me any points — except for Thorgy — yes, I was cracked on that point. I hope I can represent to my fans that if you never give up in life, you can win!
