Don't sell yourself short, queen. I think you nailed your values spot on.

She definitely nailed something in that theater.

I mean, this but for real

I got absolutely no problem with two people getting frisky in a theater.

My problem is her private values not matching her public values.

[–] mo_ztt@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

In some contexts yes... honestly for me I have a problem with two people getting frisky to that level in a packed theater while a play is going on that people came there to see. I don't think they should go to jail or anything but I would definitely want them kicked out, and, it seems like they'd be happier in a hotel or something anyway, so win-win.

💀💀💀 this is why I’m still on twitter

I don't think I've ever seen this at a drag show.

[–] mo_ztt@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I've seen a massive black man in a lovely dress and heels pick up a bachelorette, position her so she's straddling him while he's still standing, and vigorously dry-hump her in time with the music while continuing to sing the song at the top of his lungs, while her friends all cheered. I found that far less off-putting than this titty fondle.

Look at the people sitting right next to them watching the show. This is legitimately one of the most uncouth things I've ever seen.

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

In context, that does seem less offensive.

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Yep. The people at a show like that are 1) consenting adults, who 2) went to the show on purpose, and 3) didn't bring their kids.

No one in the audience at a kid-friendly Beetlejuice showing went there to watch Bobo get her tits fondled while she blows vape smoke in people's faces.

What a revolting idiot.
