      It’s always projection with you people.

      I’ve been to at least a dozen drag shows and there was zero sexual acts or genitalia exposed at any of them.

      You have never been to one. Clearly.

      You’re just here to throw your feces at people and stir up a bunch of emotions, because you’re a fucking sociopath who in my opinion shouldn’t be allowed to mingle with society at all.

      One day humanity is going to realize that because stress causes physical damage to the brain and body, psychological assault is a real thing and should be a crime just like physical assault.

      If your goal is to hurt people, I don’t give a fuck if it’s physical or mental. You should not be allowed to just decide to hurt people. For any reason.

      You should be in a cage.

        What do you mean “you people”? I was at one 3 days ago…

        One day humanity is going to realize that…psychological assault is a real thing and should be a crime just like physical assault. You should be in a cage.

        You people would love that sort of fascism, wouldn’t you? I bet Trump would love that, too!

      Look at all those genitals. THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

      Also, these drag queens and the bar put on this show and then donated all of the tips and earnings as a fundraiser for a gentleman I worked with that was going through cancer treatment. Oh the humanity.

      I have been to one once. I have photo and video evidence if you’d like me to share. It was in an 18+ bar and there was no nudity. Drag shows are entirely about crossdressing, not stripping.

      Show any example where there was a drag show at a child friendly event, and if you happen to pull that off, show any example where they showed there genitals. You can’t, because that doesn’t happen.

      You have know idea what the fuck you’re talking about, or you do and you’re arguing in bad faith and just being a bigot.

          Fair enough. But they’re trying to block explicitly sexual performances, which drag shows aren’t. They’re not putting these on in public parks, but even if they did, it should still be allowed for dudes to put on dresses and dance.

          Anyone that shows there genitals in public spaces, especially to children, should be reprimanded. That’s not what’s happening here. This is a law veiled in “protect the children” but it’s just targeted bigotry.

            I’ve seen them on more than 1 occasion. Sorry but I didn’t save them because thats not the sort of filth I want on any of my devices.

              Must be super hot for that drag queen genitalia then, huh?

              I’m starting to think the you thought you were at a drag show, when really you were at some strip show with dudes in dresses. Then you decided to go to two more of them, lol.

                  Drag shows don’t show genitals, and strip shows do. I’m not sure how you haven’t picked this up yet. Everyone else has. When everyone but you agrees on something, maaaaybe the problem is you. That would take introspection, which I’m not sure you posses, but really try for a minute. I assure you, your life will be better once your not filled with as much hate.

                  Just to be clear of the three drag shows you’ve allegedly went to, that you were disgusted enough that you couldn’t have that filth in your phone, how many genitals did you see? Was it just the third time or did you get a hankering to go back after the first?

                    1. They do. I’m not sure how you haven’t picked this up yet.
                    2. They haven’t done it at the one I’ve been to. But unlike you, my perception of the entire planet isn’t built on my personal experiences. We have these things called photographs that are able to document moments in time.

                    When everyone but you agrees on something, maaaaybe the problem is you

                    But they don’t. Again, the Threadiverse is not the entirety of reality.
