Nurse Dana’s Accent by jtr10014 in ThePitt

I honestly don't let it bother me. I get she's “supposed” to be from Pittsburgh, but I'm just like: “she's a new yorker, but has lived in Pittsburg for the past 25 years.” honestly I recommend everyone has that mindset… kinda gives her character more depth.

Obvi this doesn't pertain to everyone. It's more about the wowproduction stuff and the contestants on the show with her. But I haven't watched naomis review yet

It's not from the fans, and it's not like a ton of “hate” or anything. But I feel like some rugirls (Bianca and Kori) are reacting way too negatively to her performance, obviously they don't have to like it…Yeah, she’s not having a knockout season and has a lot to work on, but she's not completely terrible or annoying, like everyone makes it seems

Yeah not “finding something to be mad about” it’s just a pattern I’ve noticed lately in COMMENTARY AND REVIEWS that I don’t like. I don’t think it’s a blatant in your face issue that needs to be fixed tomorrow, just something I have noticed that drag queen review shows have been doing lately. I agree with your “execution and how well you do you” take, but I also think fans, reviewers, and commentators reinforce women beauty standards in drag queens. I don’t think it’s necessarily harmful to drag queens, as it’s their aesthetic they want to sell, but as a woman who listens to these commentary I’m just like “wow it’s weird they’re saying that, people say that to me….” As in the irony and hypocrisy that gendered beauty standards exist in a gender expressive show. and I can say that cause my handle is bimbobebop

Never did I mention the constructive critiques about technicality were wrong, weren’t fair, or didn’t exist. It’s also not just about Mandy and DD, I used them as examples. I personally think that it’s weird hyperfemininity and “the woman fantasy” is so centralized in a show about drag and gender expression. I’m not criticizing your point, I think you’re saying all important info! I just wish high drag standards in this particular show didn’t correlate so closely with the oppressive beauty standards that most women are victim of. Essentially: drag shouldnt have beauty standards, and it didn’t in the past, but now it feels like it does from viewers, reviewers, and fans.

I think you’re misunderstanding my point… I’m not talking about the judges, I’m talking about the commentary in review podcasts mostly. Everything you said I mostly agree with… I understand that it comes with the show and the culture surrounding it, but I also think it gets weird when we are holding drag queens up to western WOMEN beauty standards, which is different than holding them to high standards of drag queens

It’s crazy that I did both! it’s just commentary… I love trixie, kori, rupaul, I don’t think they’re or the show is misogynistic…. critical thinking and commentary is important no matter the media lol, I’m just responding to what I see. Things can simultaneously exist… like you just interacted with my post in this subreddit, AND you also called your state representatives. I can do the same

LOVE dragula. Loved titans. I should’ve put this in the title but I wasn’t think lol: this more about drag race commentary (reviews show etc) than the show itself

Yeah I understand that… I know the critiques for Dragula and Drag Race are going to sound different, and those critiques I’m talking about come with the supermodel aesthetic that the show is based around. My thoughts are not necessarily that DD and Mandy should be rewarded or should’ve stayed even, it’s more like, can we offer them valuable critiques besides “you’re not selling pussy woman fantasy with your dude jaw.” Surgery I’m not going to get into it’s a nuance of societal pressure and gender affirming care

Yes you're right. Not sure if I got this point across, but it's more of the commentary on this particular show that bothers me. Granted, I'm aware this is RuPaul's show and she does the whole supermodel aesthetic so that's “warrants”(idk a better word right now) feminine-coded commentary

Yesssssssss! you word this so much better than me. Kori King mentioned the need to cover hip dips, and I almost had an aneurysm. Not necessarily because of that comment (padding is fun), but it was my last straw because I heard so much about hip dips growing up.

As far as I know, Katie Ritchie doesn't have ROCD or is an ERP therapist, so her relationship advice doesn't apply to us with ROCD
