Vice Magazine and RuPaul Encourage Kids of All Ages to 'Find Their Inner Drag Queen'

Kids should always be encouraged to find a hobby or a constructive outlet for their young minds. Maybe sports is a good option for some, or taking up a musical instrument works better for others. How about getting children interested in drag culture at a very young age? Does wearing platform shoes or a miniskirt sound like something a your young son would enjoy?

Sadly, this is probably not the best subject for satire, because its probably about child-abuse. 'RuPaul’s Drag Race' is a sadly popular show, and it seems there are parents who think it appropriate viewing for sons. One Vice writer is lauding it as some great opportunity they wished they had during their younger years.

Writer Jamie Lee Curtis began her article discussing her younger years, a time when all she wanted to do was wear girls clothes and play with girls toys to the dismay of her cisgender father. He (or she, depending on how zhe wants it of course) wrote, “My dard was super against it and always made me get boy ones instead, but, one year, I somehow convinced my mum to buy me a My Little Pony stable playset.”

Taete then went on about how he adapted to tricking his father into buying him girl’s toys, and navigating other trials and tribulations that exist in a straight man’s home. But now that RuPaul has opened his drag extravaganzas to kids straight out of the womb, maybe there will be less stigma for aspiring young genderqueers who struggle to find cis-daddy’s approval.

“None of that kind of behavior was on display at last weekend’s RuPaul’s DragCon, an annual drag convention with events in New York and Los Angeles. For its second year, the convention had free entrance for children under ten.” Wow, it turns out that for the second year, the drag media mogul has been attempting to rob the cradle. Oh but don’t worry, it’s a fun time for little kids.

This year Dragcon boasted amenities for young he/shes, such as “a kids zone with a bounce house, arts and crafts, and a slate of kid friendly activities.” That way junior will at least be somewhat distracted by colors and fun cartoon characters, while his impressionable mental state is traumatized before it even has a grasp on anything.

For some reason this brings to mind those images of creepy men with white windowless vans, pulling up to bus stops to entice kids with candy. But it’s 2018, and telling kids to stay away from strange weirdos at fetish conventions is probably sexist, or something, right?

Child-bearing and child-raising have been transformed into child-warping.

There’s a 10 year old boy who is into the drag scene. He’s apparently become quite popular in that world.

I can just imagine how twisted his young mind is. And wonder where the hell the mind of his mother is. As I recall he had no father so it’s Mom who approves and encourages this in her little boy.

This is really going to stop boys from being attracted to girls and girls from being attracted to boys.

Can these images be plastered up from coast to coast in the run-up to every national upcoming election seasons?

How about getting smart for a change, GOP?

Kid friendly activities...at a drag queen convention. Yeah, no recruiting going on there. No siree.

I didn’t want my daughters to center their lives around dressing like girls. Why would anyone want little boys to think that was important? [Rhetorical question - I know why, and, like every other form of child abuse, it is disgusting!]

My girls camped, hiked, fished, shot (archery and firearms), sewed, cooked, climbed mountains (literally), canoed, kayaked, sailed, changed the oil in the car and tractor, repaired the plumbing, replaced electrical wiring and outlets, did carpentry and woodcarving, took martial arts classes, played piano and trumpet, and generally did everything my boys did. They certainly dressed appropriately for various events, but the clothing was never a significant point of interest for them, and my daughters are actual girls, not just make-believe.


“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”

-Robert A. Heinlein


Note: My parenting approach is identical to Robert A. Heinlein’s philosophy, but it’s copied from my parents, not copied from Heinlein.

This is why we need “family” court reform which gives all the jurisdiction to the mother and warps the father role into ATM. “Joint Legal Custody” is the biggest joke on the planet.

Men simply have no rights when it comes to their children should they not live under the same roof as the mother. And in many cases the father did not want the divorce; the mother systematically pushed dad out of the household for cash prizes (”child” support which is really government approved matriarchy support)

Then there is Parental Alienation. . .

This is the cesspool invited by an insane war on normal sex roles. (And yes, people have sexes & sex roles; words have "genders."

The Academic/Media Egalitarian "lets pretend cabal is at war on normal behavior.

Every time I enter a fabric store my inner fag struggles to get out. I find it’s best to just avoid fabric stores...

If there are levels of Hell, I hope a really nasty one is reserved for pedophiles, child abusers and drug dealers.

I haven’t been to DragonCon in a decade maybe.

It was insane then. I’d prefer to remember the good times

These weirdos are spirit of antichrist with their insanity. They need to turn around before it’s too late. Seems their minds are pretty reprobate.

Isaiah 3:9 New International Version (NIV)

9 The look on their faces testifies against them;
they parade their sin like Sodom;
they do not hide it.
Woe to them!
They have brought disaster upon themselves.

Gabriel, good intent. It will help if you correct all those spelling errors.

I prefer to remember when a Drag Convention would involve cars and racing.

Drag racing is a sport I can sort of tolerate.

Are the only drugs they use Bayer chewables? St. Josephs? Snorting Flinstone multivitamin?
