You 100% saw drag as a kid. It didn’t ham you one bit.

Are you talking about cartoons?

Nope. Live action and everything

I suggest you look after your own. Stop calling leftist Democrats “liberals”. That is long gone. Then worry about Republicans.
There are more vestiges of conservatives with Republicans than there is liberalism with Democrats.

Milton Berle skits is not the problem and not what people are objecting to.

There is an industry called “The adult entertainment industry” aka Porn.

Drag shows aren’t necessarily in that industry. They can be… just like dora the explorer can be. Just put on the costume.

Drag is for adults. That is adult entertainment.

Not all drag is for adults. Adult content is for adults… like nudity, sex and vulgar language.

Theoretically conservatism has pushed for a reduced executive branch and federal government role. Trumpism and his brand of populism completely upended that. That populist style mimics many hard right “semi-fascist” governments we have seen historically. And by the way Federalist Society- it already has a name- MAGA.

In practice, they’ve spent twenty years trying to build a police state and want the president to be a king as long as he’s Republican.

That’s one place you saw drag. And same sex kissing. Looney tunes was wild.

I’ve been rewatching the old shorts on HBO Max and Bugs Bunny’s first and last defense to everything involves smooching dudes and dressing up like a lady. I forgot how much of this there was in Looney Tunes.

There was more moral decay in 1950 than today.

So, they had drag shows for children, sex change operations targeting children being promoted in the 1950’s?

Sex change operations were non existent. They had drag in show targeted at children.

They also had other moral decay. Like treating women and minorities as second class citizens

Don’t hear too much about the unitary executive when Democrats are in power.

Yep. Cleavage, short skirts, drag, kissing, sexual assault, drug usage.

Oh and racist.

I’ve been saying this for a decade, they’re not conservatives, they’re right wing Jacobins. Conservatives by definition don’t want a revolution to tear down the last hundred years of society.

What is the difference between Milton Berle and Drag Queens reading to children?

Comedy. Making fun of the fact that a grown man would dress up as a ludicrous woman. The difference between someone knowing he is dressed as a clown and doing it for,laughs and someone who identifies as a person with orange frazzled hair and a red nose. The difference between someone dressing as a Fox for Halloween and someone who identifies as a Fox.

Drag is still comedy in most cases. Every drag show I’ve seen has a comedy element.

Wait… you do realize that Drag Queens do a lot of what they do to get laughs… right?

The concept of “camp” exists.

Yeah, nonstop porn jokes, constant fourth wall breaks. The only difference between Bugs and Deadpool is that Bugs was just super edgy for the 40s and 50s.

I don’t think the libz are capable of making that distinction.

You are confusing drag with trans.

Drag is performance, not “identity.” It’s a show.

DougBH · 2022-10-24T14:29:08.264Z

The ones I have seen people complain most about had a strong sexual element.

Even Ru Paul isn’t dressed as woman 100% of the time.
