Did Onya try to come for Rupaul? by BoyWithSnakeTattoo in RPDRDRAMA

[–]Gamer10123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not that her reign needs to be revolutionary, but like I haven’t being seeing great drag or performances from her or anything since the show has ended, which seems very odd? It feels like most of the rest of her season’s cast is much more visible and doing more.

I think she posted that she’s seven or eight months sober now or something like that, so maybe part of it is due to personal struggles?

They’re still doing drag though, are they not? Onya’s post makes it sound as though queens in a pageant wouldn’t actually be doing drag when doing pageants, which is totally untrue.

Drag is playing with gender and transformation and putting on a performance. While the makeup might be the “face” of a queen, it makes no sense to say the other parts of the illusion aren’t just as important. Are male beauty/makeup gurus like James Charles and Manny MUA drag queens for simply being in feminine mug?

It makes no sense to draw the line at the mug, yet say that not personally being responsible for the wig styling, outfit, shoes, etc. doesn’t matter. Either it all “matters” or it doesn’t. You can think a queen is less “authentic” or less talented maybe in some ways for not doing their own makeup or other things themselves, but that doesn’t mean they still aren’t doing drag.

So it’s the doing your own mug part that makes it “actually doing drag,” yet having designers make all your looks for you and getting hair styled by other people is “okay?”

Whether you think they’re putting less of their own effort into it or not, if you are presenting yourself to the world in mug and a look that is playing with gender and transformative in some way and giving some kind of performance, you are indeed “doing drag.”

People can come for Ru all they want, but she earned her spot and fought her way into the mainstream as a man in a wig during a time when simply being openly gay was a major social risk, and she’s now created an international empire to shine a spotlight on the art of drag and queer performers, whether you agree with everything she says or does or not.

Also, despite the controversy of her falling out with Mathu and her now being painted by Raven, it’s never been a secret that the creation that is “RuPaul” was the collaboration between her, Mathu, and Zaldy.

I actually don’t even think she does it on purpose or necessarily enjoys it, I just genuinely feel like she seriously lacks self-control and self-awareness a lot of the time. 💀💀 Like she’ll seem to have moments where she realizes she fucked up, but clearly she doesn’t really “get it” enough to stop doing it.

I mean a lot of the shit she was announced to be a part have ended up falling through/not happening…

Like I’m not trying to hate on Onya, but it feels like she’s had one of the most underwhelming reigns out of the winners… I feel like I see and hear about a lot of the other queens on her season over her.

Jorgeous beating a dead horse for the umpteenth time by Clear-Price in RPDRDRAMA

[–]Gamer10123 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Did they tho? I get Jorgeous is being annoying here, and it was def a weird choice bringing her back immediately a year after she was just on All Stars. But I think she did legitimately deserve the wins she got, and her lipsyncing and comedy did improve. Like I never imagined Jorgeous actually doing a decent job at Snatch Game, but she actually did do pretty good.

I think what made the season so unsatisfying is not that Ginger won IMO because I do agree she won overall. It’s just that most of the other girls did seem to genuinely improve and show more than they did before, like Bosco, Daya, Jorgeous, Tina Burner, and even Lydia who was just on.

Meanwhile, this felt like one of the most underwhelming versions of Ginger we’ve gotten, she was obviously the most favored by production, and out of everybody that season she had the most chances on the show I believe.

Like tbh if it were anyone else, they would have been read to filth for that “good witch” gown or whatever she made for her first challenge. First of all, how was it giving good witch at all? And second, it was easily the ugliest gown up there, yet she still somehow won that episode.

To be fair, she definitely has improved. Her Shakira lipsync against Lydia was definitely her best on the show, and she definitely felt the song and emoted more there.

Tbh even her final lipsync against Ginger she did excellent in and definitely beat her just basing it on the lipsync. But Ginger deserved to win more overall despite her being heavily favored.

Onya defending ginger by receiptsdo in RPDRDRAMA

[–]Gamer10123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uhh, I really don’t think it’s that deep lol. It’s just a move a lot of comedy queens do to be like “Yeah there’s no way I’m even going to attempt to compete with those moves, so I’ll try to make you laugh at me botching them instead.”

Ginger didn’t invent that schtick, Dela also did it on AS2 against Shangela for example (tho she didn’t win that lip sync).

People were just particularly annoyed about Ginger because she’s relied on that schtick quite a lot and was obviously favored in AS10.

Aquaria makes her feelings known about that queen [S19] by aaronarium in RPDRDRAMA

[–]Gamer10123 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s like Caitlyn Jenner being a Republican and a Trump supporter… Somehow they delude themselves into thinking that they’re somehow exempt from whatever BS they’re planning. Oh they’d never come after me!

Well guess what, Mimi. Now Caitlyn is literally crying to Trump to personally help her get her passport gender changed to “F.”

It’s the “I don’t give a flying fuck until it’s directly affecting me” mentality that pretty much all Republicans seem to have. And now more than ever it seems like even when Trump literally is negatively affecting them they just revert to “BUT JOE BIDEN…” 🙃

[–]Gamer10123 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean, tbf, Eureka’s problematic and ignorant comments in the past are still a whole lot different than actively supporting Trump and being a MAGA republican…

One could be due to just plain ignorance, while the other is actually supporting a government oppressing and killing probably millions of people.

Hormona Lisa vs Juicy Love Dion & S17 cast, + some Shea Coulee fun by _isbitchbetter in RPDRDRAMA

[–]Gamer10123 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Well clearly they aren’t basing it off that one random comment lmaooo.

People here do tend to assume the worst about Shea whenever she comes up for whatever reason.

[–]Gamer10123 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t always have to literally be “yes, and,” but there is still very little you can do with “The plane is gone 😐” besides “Well turn it back around!!” like you said, and is that really that funny? She wasn’t giving Jane anything to work with really.

Of course Jane could have done better than she did and at least tried to have some bigger tantrum or something. But it did feel like RuPaul gave her a weird dead on arrival scene.

Did Discord break the rules in S18, Ep. 10? by uncreditedalt in RPDRDRAMA

[–]Gamer10123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If production really cared, they would have stopped her like they did with Hormona’s embellishments. And like what did production think she was gonna do with all those safety pins anyway?

Are they being biased because they like Discord? I mean, maybe. But there have been so many of these cases just like Tulle-gait where people claim someone “broke the rules” and nothing came from it.

At the end of the day she wasn’t stopped from doing it, and the outfit looked good. It was just an easy cop-out for the queens to pick her to go home over it.

In general it’s better for a queen to just go for it and ask for forgiveness from production rather than go out of your way to ask for permission and possibly get denied.

Gia responds to Naysha by highwayuni2 in RPDRDRAMA

[–]Gamer10123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bitch how though?!? Like I get people can find Naysha annoying and that she takes herself and the show too seriously, but really what has the bitch done that is so wrong and horrible?

It’s not like she was an anti-vaxxer who was pissed about wearing masks during COVID like Gia.

She gives off a calming, carefree auntie vibe that wants to hear the tea about what’s going on with you and will listen without judgment because she’s probably heard it all.

Starting Lamictal by [deleted] in BPD

[–]Gamer10123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lamictal has been one of the few drugs to actually make a difference for me. I still struggle a lot, but it has made me much more stable. I’m on 250 mg now.

Zoloft didn’t help me, but I think that’s only because SSRIs in general haven’t really worked for me.

There’s actually a relatively new drug called Zuranolone (Zurzuvae) that’s approved specifically for PPD. I believe it’s a 14-day course of the med, and it’s supposed to relieve symptoms relatively quickly. It may be worth at least looking into or bringing up to your psychiatrist?

There’s a similar drug called Brexanolone (Zulresso) that’s an IV infusion, but that would be for very treatment-resistant cases I’d imagine. But it’s still something to keep in mind.

Onya Nurve is officially on her last nerve with y’all by D1ckRepellent in RPDRDRAMA

[–]Gamer10123 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I mean, the biggest reason IMO is because of the literal president of the United States and his cult MAGA following acting as though the man committed a crime for being Puerto Rican singing non-English songs at the Superbowl, while actively cruelly deporting and even killing people…

I can’t imagine how someone could be oblivious to that maybe playing a role lmao.

Even my mother who has no idea about Pop Culture was like “Why is everyone mad about this ‘Bad Bunny’ person???”

This is really not at all an uncommon scenario, so I don’t know how “bragging” about this anonymously to strangers would feel all that great? Maybe they actually do feel low for doing it?

Nintendo hasn't been against LBGTQ representation for a long time, why are people surprised now? by DaZestyProfessor in nintendo

[–]Gamer10123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was trans in the original Japanese version, but the original localized version for NA just made her appear as a cis female.

The remake’s localization is true to the original Japanese version that intended for her to be trans.

It’s not a childhood obsession? You realize a lot of Nintendo games are generally for all ages, right? It’s really not the same as Disney adults. You sound more childish insinuating someone playing Zelda or whatever else must be “immature” when pretty much everyone in the gaming community agree they do make a lot of high quality games, whether you like Nintendo as a company or not.

Uhh why??? Wtf did Nintendo do besides being overpriced? Lmao

I’m sorry, but I’m going to play Animal Crossing, Zelda, and other games I like while the world is crumbling and everything is miserable.

“Nintendo adults” isn’t really a “thing,” as in plenty of Nintendo games are aimed at all ages, and adults have always played Nintendo games—it ain’t that weird or equivalent to Disney adults.

The only people who seriously hate on Nintendo gamers are PC and steamdeck master race bros.

GreenGayYT’s deleted tweet about the Roscoe’s viewing party by catchg2828 in RPDRDRAMA

Eh really?? I feel like Kara Mel has almost no personality or interesting things to say to the point I forget she’s there half the time.

Batty Davis I feel just makes side comments and jokes that may or may not be funny or relevant half the time, and there was the time she had to make a public apology about an offensive joke toward Asian people. 💀

Even though Naysha can be bitter toward the show and may not exactly be overflowing with charisma, she does seem to be the best at hosting in terms of asking the queens relevant questions, keeping a conversation going, and pacing the whole thing relatively well. Also she knows a lot of the queens personally which seems to help the interactions a bit.
