a hot take
so, while watching videos about 'makeup artist drama' and so on because fuck you i'm full of nyquil and bad choices,
cis white dudes doing drag and in the makeup artist world aren't doing much more than gentrifying what black women have already done, huh
a hot take
like you know it's bad when i - She Of The Proud Mayonnaise Blood - notice this shit
so much of this is just a nice coat of Sassy Gay Best Friend whitewash over black culture. forgive me if i don't think the "but i promise i didn't actually SAY the n-word!" is insincere when i see somebody lip synching along to a Nicki Minaj song in drag makeup while his followers screech DRAG HER SIS! SNATCH THAT WEAVE!... there's a base level of respect just not there and present for black creators
