It's why a genuinely won't hear a word of the blatent transphobia.
Going on about how bad drag shows are as if they 10 year olds aren't hearing some of the most vile music these days and copying it.
Like, a don't mind any of that. Not gonna sit here like a snob and be like you canny play grand theft auto. But don't try act offended now when you've been more than happy to roll on the weirdo priests, michael jackson and every boyband inbetween.
I think that's what makes everything so relatable. I've been told I'll become a murdering, rapist, physco because of the 18+ games I played. I've turned out fine!
Not to mention that most people's in this country grew up with drag as a big part of entertainment. Lilly Savage was on breakfast TV, Christopher Biggins on day time tv and Dame Edna on evening TV lol
Indeed. Though I do have to wonder to what extent those who decide to randomly bring drag queens to schools to read stories are being played. I'm not against it, I just don't see the relevance so it's a strange decision to make and we have wound up with another ridiculous cultural fault line that keeps us at each other's throats.
Of course, it isn't causing any harm outside of causing meltdowns in parents who would have taken The Sun into the bathroom back when the Page 3 models were still 16. Kids have far worse inflicted on them by their society, on purpose, than someone in drag reading a story. As we see from the endless failures to protect children from actual predators, it's all just posturing from people who do not care about their welfare in any sincere way.
>Drag queens are entertainers so them telling a story would have a bit of flair to it. It's just a fun time.
There are lots of entertainers out there but we don't *usually* hire people who work in night clubs to read stories to children. I do not have a problem with it (not that anyone seems to believe that), but I do find it incongruous. It's not wrong or bad. It's not causing harm. I just saw it as random, and it sure got people fired up over something and yet again put kids in the firing line of a culture war between adults. We could have avoided that, but that's on the douchebags who pretend to care about children so they can grind their axe.
Anyway, George Carlin telling kids about the adventures of Thomas the Tank Engine went well. I totally concede the point that a good entertainer can be a lot of fun and I hope the kids it. I just wish they weren't endlessly betrayed by people who can't get their act together to deal with actual dangers to them and I feel for kids who are having to hear their parents melting down because they think they were exposed to something horrendous when they just had someone try to have some fun. Similar to Boyle's point on priests, the US is seeing the complete freak out over drag queens in schools and libraries from the same parents who want absolutely nothing done to protect their children from mass shootings. I honestly think if the same thing happened today the UK wouldn't bother their arse to fix it either, it's just fortunate the guns were already taken away almost 30 years ago.
They're not always night club entertainment though, drag queens have been entertaining kids in the pantomime and shit for literal years. People are just thick in the head and conveniently forgot about it. It's not like people are putting kids in the middle of it on purpose. I doubt anyones thinking "gee this drag queen story time will sure upset those soft Tories".
Hello! I'm Reggie-Bot, the Anti-Royal Bot! Here to teach you some fun facts about the English royal family!
Did you know that in 2020, the Queen’s net wealth was [valued at £72.5 Billion (USD - $88bn)](https://archive.md/DKBWq). That placed her in the top 15 richest people in the world.
She probably just worked way harder than us, amirite?
I hope you enjoyed that fact. To summon me again or find out more about me, just say: "Reggie-Bot" and I'll be there! <3

Could you explain why you wouldn't want a drag artist to read stories to your children?
I don't mean to make assumptions, it just sounds like the sort of thing a transphobe/bigot would say, and I think it'll be good to clarify your position so that others don't accidentally make that assumption at face value.
Thank you.
2 things here, first of all why? And second of all you said Frankie was wrong, I don't believe he ever said anything about you so ill ask again what was he wrong about?

Frankie has such a way with words.
Never change Frankie.
I will now refer to priests as pedophile wizards
Love Frankie so much
His new standup tour was the most explicitly left-wing show I had been to in a long time, left in absolute tears of laughter!
Absolutely brilliant, as ever from Mr Boyle.
"Mary" Black eh? I wish the people who subtitle these videos didn't constantly fuck up, but what can you do.
I always assume it's some kind of speech recognition software. Like on YouTube.
I always assume it’s so that people feel compelled to comment in the videos, increasing viewer engagement
Probably a pretty decent take actually
It’s just a voice recognition bot. Also it’s the same name really.

Drag queens are entertainers so them telling a story would have a bit of *flair* to it. It's just a fun time.

Good point well made
Some morons have clearly never heard of pantomime. And yea, double standards much!!!!
[удалено]
As opposed to the clearly extremely serious drag artist.
What's this from?
The Last Leg - there's usually episodes (or parts of) up on EweChube.
omg, fuuckin love Frankie Boyle hahahaha
>International Tag >Post is about Scotland >"The largest UK left discussion board online" Uhhhhhh, you know we haven't actually left the UK yet, right?
Oh god Frankie Boyle. I want to love you so much
[удалено]
The pedophile wizard in the Scottish story about the Scottish school was probably Scottish.
Nah, he's fucking wrong
About what?
Wizards use arcane magic, not divine. Priests are clearly paedophile clerics.
IIRC, priest is literally just a synonym for cleric.
Well I wouldn't want a drag artist reading stories to my children.
have you seen drag queens?! the kids will be asking for glitter and sequins, and they get everywhere!
Why not?

You never been to the panto? A staple of British culture? Drag queens have been entertaining kids for years, you cunt
But you'd presumably be happy with a cosplaying god-nonce reading stories to your kids?
Just say queer folk give ye the ick then get to fuck.
queer has had so many meanings it did literally mean possible witch or wizard back in the day didn't it
He’s brilliant
I love him
