May 15, 20205 yr Not to be annoying but I’ve always felt uncomfortable with people using the fish term, hope it slowly filters out of the show as it can be quite transphobic but then Ru is exactly that
May 15, 20205 yr I LOVED Ongina's entrance - the look is obviously all sorts of amazing but her All Stars 1 reference of being stuck in traffique killed me. I must have forgotten that because I didn't understand it?
May 15, 20205 yr Not to be annoying but I’ve always felt uncomfortable with people using the fish term, hope it slowly filters out of the show as it can be quite transphobic but then Ru is exactly that People say it’s sexist and transphobic and I kind of get the first one as it’s a reference to woman’s genitals but how is it transphobic? Just interested. It’s a word I have to stop myself from using anyway as ik it offends some people! It’s definitely one of those things that people have started to phase out only recently
May 15, 20205 yr I must have forgotten that because I didn't understand it? hSCH1h1HY_U Right there! I think it's hilarious - it's a comment on how she's always been rumoured to be cast in every season of All Stars but never made it until now - and also how she had a random cameo in AS1 as a DRIVER for the finalists. I'm all here for it.
May 15, 20205 yr It’s transphobic because it suggests that for someone to be a woman they need to pass as looking feminine- and some trans people might not have had surgery or might not “pass” as a stereotypical female to some
May 15, 20205 yr Ah right, that makes sense! hSCH1h1HY_U Right there!

I'm all here for it. Why I am I screaming at this clip :lol: Edited May 15, 20205 yr by Andrew.
May 15, 20205 yr Pavel just means she looks feminine, which she does, I don't think it's that deep. I get how it can be transphobic though and like even aside from that, I think when drag can be anything, being "fish" is dull as f*** tbh although we all know Blair can BRING IT that alongside the look!

I always associate fish with Carmen Carrera which is probs not a good thing :')
May 15, 20205 yr Nothing to do with Carmen Carrera is ever a good thing, truly one of the worst queens ever on the show

May 15, 20205 yr Author I honestly don't know who I want to win this season. When Shea walked in first I was set on her. But then I see Jujubee, Ongina, Mayhem, Mariah & Miz Cracker (I really warmed to her post-season 10). I hope there's another double win this season at least. :lol:
May 21, 20205 yr *Fishing* for drama ok What I meant was she looks STUNNING and unclockable. It's just an observation about her in that particular look. It’s transphobic because it suggests that for someone to be a woman they need to pass as looking feminine- and some trans people might not have had surgery or might not “pass” as a stereotypical female to some No it's not transphobic to call someone a 'fish' unless they specifically mean what you said (which, I agree, IS an explicitly transphobic thing to think or say). This was merely a conclusion you're making by ass-u-me-ing things and finishing someone else's sentence. Also gender expression and gender identity are two different things. Let's not mix those up.
May 21, 20205 yr Ugh at Derrick Barry. Definitely one of my least favourite queens ever, she was so mean in her season and, while she does a good Britney impersonation, doesn't do anything interesting. We have seen the Britney enough. Rooting for Shea to finally get her deserved win! AS5 will be on Netflix for the UK & Ireland!! :cheer: @1262676009712865280 Hope it will always be released on Netflix in the rest of the world, we are still waiting for S12 here.
May 22, 20205 yr Ugh at Derrick Barry. Definitely one of my least favourite queens ever, she was so mean in her season Every season needs villains, I don't wait "Rupaul's Best Friend Race" every season. I wouldn't have Season 2 without Tyra, I wouldn't have Season 4 or AS2 without Phi Phi. It. would. be. boring... like Season 12. :lol:

It. would. be. boring... like Season 12. :lol: There is a difference between adding some spice into the season and being a downright bully. Like I honestly prefer seasons where people get along and root for each other, that's why I enjoyed the UK version so much.
May 22, 20205 yr There is a difference between adding some spice into the season and being a downright bully. Like I guess I don't really see it as bullying because the queens admit that editing comes a lot into play (especially Phi Phi vs Sharon, they admitted they staged it.). That mixed the how terribly bullied I was as a child, not only at school but in my own household, so to me if the "bullying" seems downright feeble and so not real world that it blows over me slightly. :P
