Reflecting on Research

This article I read on Rupaul's effect on the modern day drag. It talks about how the popularization of drag is due to the competition aspect of the show and this idea that the origins of drag have kind of been forgotten in an attempt to attract as many views as possible, with drag queens striving to become the 'ideal drag queen'. I found this very interesting as it touches upon this idea that drag should be about acceptance and inclusivity, but because of this, it becomes very exclusive.
