As if Plastique is getting flack for using the Vietnamese accent in the Black Panther segment rotf.gif Like... she is Vietnamese?!

Fake woke bitches in 2019 are SO tiring laugh.gif Like... if you're not Vietnamese, stop. If anyone can use an accent and background for comedy, it's those who have the accent and have lived the history.

I think people are afraid that Plastique’s decision to go with the accent would enforce racist and bigoted thinking that other people can do the same. Which is weird because I DOUBT Drag Race would be the type of show to attract such an audience.

I thought Brook Lynn would have gotten the brunt of the backlash considering she threw that idea out and well, she’s white, but she did run it through Plastique. She was a champ about it, and she thought it would work in her favor (which it did).

Didn't she basically do what Manilla did way back in Series Three with the Accent? and I'm pretty certain there have been a load of other instances too throughout the 11 series.

My guess; Plastique is a threat as she has been out of the two shows one of the most consistently strong so people feel the need to bring her down

I don't understand how you could be offended by Plastique's accent but no one has mentioned Shuga (a white queen) playing essentially an African American stereotypical "auntie"? I hate this fanbase

I just googled and apparently Shuga is Mexican American. My point still stands though

i really hope “opulence you earn everything” becomes the next “brown cow stunning” or “miss vanjie”. It’s meme gold.

I really hope all these Joslyn Fox references mean Ru is grooming us for her inevitable return in AS5 wub.gif

Also while Oppalance was hilarious it will never topple the best acting challenge flop of herstory:

MOTHER DOES NOT PLAY

I've been seeing "Opulence you earn everything" all over my twitter feed and in the youtube comments on drag race videos. laugh.gif I think it's the meme of the season, so far. Ariel tweeted one that I really liked:

There was a similar meme with Brooke Candy's Opulence?? Because I'm quite sure the actual phrase comes from Paris is Burning

this one? I was HOWLING at that



drag race does a lot of Paris Is Burning homages (see: the reading challenge) so I wouldn’t be surprised if it does come from that.

The entire concept of Drag Race owes so much to Paris Is Burning There would be no extravaganzas, no reading is fundamental, no executive realness, no 10s across the board - the list goes on - without Paris and the ballroom scene that inspired it

omg i’m looking back at good god girl get out and there were so many moments from that clip alone

• the derrick barry joke
• vanjie’s dad voice
• “okqrrkokqkokqr”
• “Vivian Mahogany Davensport”
• Silky reading her lines like she wrote them on her palm
• OPPALENCE
• “touch this skin! touch ALLL this skin! ...........bruh”
• kahanna’s overacting trying to compensate for mercedes’ lack of energy
• “I just asked her if she would like some eggs”
• “thank god girl. they haven’t killed you yet.”
• the tea cup increasing in size randomly
• “like when Valentina didn’t know the words to Greeeeeedyyyyyyyyy”
• when A’keria came in and zapped everyone and vanjie was convulsing the entire time
• “oh you a big bitch, I gotta get you twice”

this was freaking ICONIC

I am absolutely loving Yvie! Clearly she has talent both looks and performance-wise, I hope she can be consistent enough to go all the way. She has the whole-package vibe that I love in queens like Dela, Aquaria and Thorgy.

I'm also liking Brooke, Mercedes, Nina, Plastique, Vanjie, most of them actually! Just not Rajah or Silky who need to pipe down.
