I'll Give You a Drag Makeover

[CellarDweller]

it's just one thread. doesn't change the general atmosphere of the site. people can have disagreements and argue sometimes, doesn't mean we hate each other now or are 'unfriendly'. i have no hard feelings against anybody here.

That's right. I have no problems with MN.

i would like to elaborate on it if you're interested in hearing it. i know exactly why i have such a strong aversion to it.

I wouldn't have formally opened up this thread for the discussion of why some find drag disgusting if I were not interested in actually having the discussion. Im curious to hear your perspective, feel free to elaborate.

Wow...this little light hearted thread got really heavy all of a sudden. If I could toss in my two cents...drag queens are fab okay?
I used to be all: oh man look at those freaks! Dressing up as women, making all of us gays look bad.
But now I'm all: oh man look at those beauties! So fab! So amazing!

Horrible explanation above aside, I've realized it's just a form of art, self expression, and fun. There really isn't a need to be disgusted or that upset about it. I think most "fine art" looks like complete and total bullshit. It looks like a can of paint ate taco bell and fucking threw it up all over the god damn canvas. Knowing I feel that way, do I think it's a good idea to go to a place where people gather (art gallery or similar venue) and express my opinion? Sure I could, but the following is true:
-It won't be popular
-It won't go over well
-It will only start a shit storm.

Now, I'm not one for debate (I hate conflict) but I do think it would be a bad idea to do this simply because it's just going to ruin the experience for those who want to enjoy it.

But you know, that's just like, my opinion, man.

If its the sort of thing that typically isn't socially allowed to be spoken, all the more reason to give it a comfortable space for it to be heard.

i love men. utterly and deeply. i love everything about them. the way they look, sound, behave, smell, taste --- all of it.

dressing up as a woman, wearing make-up – it takes something so beautiful and turns it into something ugly. it amounts to the same as picking up a work by Botticelli, or Caravaggio, or Leonardo da Vinci and painting it over with blobs of neon color and other unnatural paints..... how would you like it if anybody did that? or to any other work of art you find beautiful?

there is nothing ''fun'' or ''interesting'' about such procedure or ''performance''.

it is unnatural, exaggerated to the point of ridiculousness. women don't put on that much make up or exaggerate their outfits like that. and those females who do (there are some) – i have just as low opinion of them as well, because it is overdone, and fake. i hate everything unnatural and fake.

men who are by nature feminine, i have no problem with them. transsexual men who want to be women, i get why they do it.

but this isn't letting your feminine side out. this isn't going deeper into yourself and finding an outlet for something essential there in this manner. drag is an unnatural expression, forced and farcical. with no apparent point or purpose, other than some remnant of an extinct movement we no longer understand for what it once was.

it is marring something that to me is so thoroughly beautiful and pure. that is why it is disgusting to me. i love men with every cell in my body. it is a sacrilege to me to witness having them mutilated, marred and debased.

That's right. I have no problems with MN.
