RuPaul’s Drag Race is a popular reality competition show that has captivated audiences around the world. The show brings together talented drag performers to compete in various challenges, showcasing their skills and personalities. However, it seems that not everyone in the fandom is a fan of the positive and inclusive spirit of the show.
Toxic Fandom
Marcia Marcia Marcia, a contestant on Season 15 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, took to social media to address the toxic behavior from some fans. The queen shared a video on Instagram, speaking out against those who are making the experience for the queens on the show unpleasant. This message came after her co-contestant, Mistress Isabelle Brooks, had her social media accounts suspended multiple times in just three days.
According to Marcia, the suspension of Mistress’s accounts was the result of malicious reports from trolls who seem to be targeting her following a minor disagreement between the two queens during a recent episode of Drag Race Untucked. This toxic behavior is unacceptable and goes against the inclusive and uplifting spirit of the show. Marcia calls out these trolls and reminds them that their actions have real-life consequences and impact others. Here’s Marcia’s video:
Mistress Isabelle Brooks is not happy
Mistress Isabelle Brooks recently spoke out on the social media platform Twitter regarding the ongoing challenges she has faced. In her statement, she expressed her disappointment at the hostility she has experienced from certain members within the drag community.
The current hostile climate towards drag performers has made these attacks even more disheartening. Despite these setbacks, she remains determined and undeterred, determined to keep pushing forward despite the difficulties she faces.
Here’s what Mistress said on Twitter:
In conclusion, it’s important for fans of RuPaul’s Drag Race to remember that the show promotes positivity, inclusiveness, and acceptance. The contestants on the show work hard to showcase their talents and personalities, and they deserve respect and support from the fans. The toxic behavior from some individuals in the fandom not only detracts from the overall experience but also hurts those who are working hard to pursue their passions. Let’s all come together to promote positivity and uplift each other.
UPDATE: it seems as though Mistress’s Instagram account has been finally restored! Go and support the Queen! https://www.instagram.com/mistressisabellebrooks/
