Is this a bit or do you really not know what drag is?
A drag queen is (usually) a man who dresses in an exaggerated female style for performances, and often have an over the top or pun stage name (ex: Divine, Kim Chi).
No I had no clue. Only know the word as a verb or in the context of drag coeficient. Thank you for the explanation.
now imagining drag queens standing in wind tunnels to study the aerodynamics of their attire, with scientists standing on the side rubbing their chins wisely
the words honestly are confusing. i can admit that. out of context "drag queen" would mean nothing to me either.
as i understand it, a drag queen is someone (usually a man?) who dresses up in flamboyant clothing of the opposite gender and takes on a character, like a stage identity, and everyone's stage identity is individual to themselves. from what I've seen, the stories behind a stage identity are often as interesting as the costumes themselves, which can be very intricate and eye catching.
drag queen competitions can feature singing, dancing, showmanship, acrobatics, comedy, and are a good time, check one out if you get a chance.
Pro wrestling without quite so much machismo.
i like how it's always the fairly innocuous questions that gets shit. That's my favorite part of the internet. We have so much respect for people, except for the ones we don't like, and even less for the ones who we think might be doing a little bit of trolling.
The internet wouldn't be the internet otherwise.

I love this and resonate with this far too much.
But quick question, what's the screeching cat symbol and where do I learn more? My Google Fu is lacking and the closest I see is union representation?
beats dying over a conservative that doesnt understand basic economic theory and doesn't believe in a thing called "reality" because they subscribe to an alternate version of reality that quite literally doesnt exist.
