Why Is RuPaul Problematic?

Is he problematic? Absolutely.

Are we going to cancel his show? No. It's the only show this massive that centers on our community and our narrative. The show is also a platform for our drag queens to be known and get booked. Bec you know, being a full time drag queen and artist drags you to the money pit in a capitalist society.

Everyone is problematic, if you dig long enough for the right info... So tired of these people trying to cancel others as a power trip for themselves.

Anyways, that said! I absolutely believe that Rupaul is different off camera than on camera. I mean, how many seasons of drag race does he do a year? A USA season, UK, all stars, specials, The World, a movie...

It’s entertainment.  Ru is right - nothing they say matters on HIS show unless the camera is rolling.  

Yeah I mean that's just a little unrealistic to say that to someone and then expect them to be vulnerable on camera, meanwhile doing INSANE challenges which require so much focus, creativity and time and act like the host is being genuine too, then receive critiques from the judges...

But neither of us were there so who knows what the context was. Other queens have pointed out that maybe it was just a misunderstanding. For some reason though, I can literally see Run dropping his character and saying that really harshly to Pearl. 

ALSO, I just rewatched that episode "Do I have something on my face" and Pearl/Max won the challenge that week. So maybe the producers did that to keep Pearl in the game, or she really deserved it.
