speaking of drag I keep seeing this sentiment


now of course you could argue that drag hurts no one and those against it are moral busybodies clinging to slippery slopes
my issue is with the framing that "drag used to be fine and loved by all and it isn't now"
why does no one realize that old "drag" media content typically revolved around making a mockery of the premise? laughing at the guys making fools of themselves? and if you actually watch any of it you're probably going to be deeply offended?
it was part of comedies specifically because it was safe to make fun of, for the same reason you might make movies about extreme violence, it was a fantasy that (according to culture at the time) no one in their right mind would take part in
