Ok, I have another question, imagine its Michael, (god forbid anything happens to Gaga) - someone cosplaying Michael after publicly assassinating Gaga; Michael with blood, clothes and stuff - and then some years later someone cosplaying Michael - will that be accepted, and regarded as cunty? 

Hey, I am asking questions, nothing else, I am trying to understand the whole situation. 

I mean, if there was something iconic about Michael’s look, the answer could be yes. Like it or not, unfortunately when you’re a public figure, there are certain things about your life that enter the canon of public iconography and people play with them. But I also think another dimension to this is the fact that that Jackie O was not only a fashion icon, but literally insisted on wearing the Chanel suit covered in blood after JFK’s assassination, which is both incredibly powerful and, from a media perspective, is somewhat camp in hindsight so it’s not as if it’s a deeply private moment being exploited, but rather a recreation of a very public statement made by Jackie O.

O there's a whole story about JFKs funeral too. If you like that kind of stuff, check Askamortician on youtube

Thats such an insane video essay, the **** that happened AFTER the shooting were even more insane  I've watched it a few times and every time it just shocks me what an utter shitfesr the entire situation was.

OT; idk I love the look, like I'd never think about such a costume  and its insanely brilliant in a ****ed up campy way but I'm also not phased by much lately, the only things that shocks and/or offends me would be violence againts animals and  the disabled/very young/old people who can't really fens for themselves

To be fair his movies were even more subversive in his time. Reminds me I need to watch serial mom again geez

It’s true, but while a lot of queer people today claim to love the subversiveness of his films, I think subversion is easier to stomach in hindsight and I think a lot of his so-called contemporary fans would struggle with a contemporary equivalent of his work.

I think the performative counterculture gays would eat it up and post about it on TikTok for clout, while completely missing the point lol

Who do you think the contemporary equivalent would be? I can’t think of anyone

Imagine being offended by drugs while watching a show were people literally have to staple themselves and drink blended trash to stay in the competition

I love gallows humor, so I think this is hysterical.

It's both terrible and fantastic all at once. And it's certainly commentary on the absurdity of the current political climate and state of the world. I live. Give 'em hell Julia!!!

I’m not necessarily sure we have a contemporary equivalent to John Waters. There are some drag queens that push the envelope in a similar way, but not on the same scale.

[Concertaholic 6,081]

I fear the children would not survive John Waters if his films were made today 

one of my life achievements is catching his attention behind the stage at a festival and having him wave back at me in the crowd  

i also have several signed items from him which yall can swoop at Atomic Books in Baltimore (its also the only place he personally picks up fan mail from) 

[faysalaaa 4,938]

But we all know this is done on purpose to make people react this way, we all know it, yet we continue engaging and reacting lol

[Anderson123 39,066]

This is kinda tacky but works for a Halloween costume if you have that dark humor to see the satire, especially with the explanation of Jackie wanting the world to see her with all of that. And this works because it’s Julia aka no one cares about. If this were someone like Taylor, Billie, Sabrina idk this would be making headlines and offended people would come in big numbers.
