…. Ok seriously , why is there people who insist this stuff should be done in front of minors ?.

like, you can do this, no one(rational or non-puritan enough) wants to take that away from these people, they are within their right to do so, but why do they insist on doing this stuff in schools and in front of children? I get sex positivity is good and all … but straight up BDSM shit is not something you should be showing in schools.

and before you come with the classic "Drag isnt inherently sexual" , I get it … it isnt, I get that much, but I swear to god EVERY.SINGLE.TIME I see one of these "school drag shows" there's people twerking in children's laps and faces, people with very little clothing or straight up stuff like this BDSM bs.

also, on a side note : why is it mostly always drag anyway ? surely there are more types of entertainers the school could be hiring.
