If you think Dame Edna wasn’t a drag performance you’ve lost the plot.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_show
The way you’re equating all drag performance with pornography or “lewd acts” is equally ridiculous. Not all drag shows are dancing.
You must think that all women on streaming sites are cam girls by that logic.
You are very clearly anti-something, by the looks of it anti-intellectual might be a start.
I specifically AGREED with you that you were right that all shows are not necessarily pornographic... The fuck dude? Are you dumb?
Oh so my example of a man, dressing as a woman, and doing a performance is a bad example because it doesn’t fit your clearly borderline pornographic concept of drag shows but I’m missing the point?
Please elaborate.
No... mandating a corporate retreat to be at any potentially sexual shows are or anything even remotely related to those topics. But you're so hung up on some random fucking minutia that you can't see the forest for the trees.
You're on the right track...
Ahh you were so close to spotting your doublethink.
Remember when I said?
We can't endorse people in the office sharing Youtube videos because it's potentially sexual!
That's what your logic boils down to. Each drag show needs to be judged based on its actual content and not preconceived notions.
Also there are absolutely workplaces that include borderline sexual content in after work events, including movies! Some movies even have sex scenes! We can't go watch Shrek because they kiss and imply inter-species relations!
Any place that MANDATES this would be sued. So no. You're wrong.
You can bring up whatever platitudes you want about "cam girls". Mandating ANYTHING sexual in any form is literally company authorized sexual harassment. It's a big no-no.
Why is drag sexual to you?
Homie is to far in the closet. idk if he can hear you.
From their own link. It's not "me".
Hmm, seems like all ages isn't sexual.
So you ignore the former due to the latter? And then expect to have a reasonable conversation on the matter.
So Hitler was okay because in his life he ranged from Genocidal maniac to an artist?
You guys are fucking crazy.
Yeah, it's almost like there's nuance with this topic. Drag is not inheritly sexual.
You didn't just bring up Hitler in a conversation about drag, right? That's pretty fucking crazy.
And yet it's used by a source that I didn't bring up to help describe it. Almost... like... it actually is. But you do you.
Yes we must all remain fearful of the MANDATED Shrek movies.
Man, tell me you didn't know the world was gonna roll you without telling me you didn't know the world was gonna roll you, amirite?
