I thought it was cute. I've known a few Queens who would absolutely adore this. Being offended over it is the biggest drag about it, if it bugs you that much, delete or donate it from your account but don't tell me what I can do.

I think it's cute. People need to stop being offended by all things fabulous. Have you never been to a drag show or watched some Rue Paul? Drag Queens make these jokes all the time.

I'm not a drag queen, so my opinion is not really relevant, but I don't see anything wrong with this sticker. Other than the cliched "fabulous" description, I don't see any harmful stereotypes or anything of the like presented in the artwork/name. I think it's kinda cute.

And just as a side note, here in California there actually is a Christmas themed drag show called Holidays Are a Drag, so... that's something?

First off, I wanted to say that the community overall is tolerant and welcoming, but sometimes others can make us feel unwelcome and sad. Not often, but when it does happen, it's quite a shock.

That's what I'm imagining some of you feel. I'm part of the LGBTQ+ community and some friends who aren't but supportive nonetheless (I'm not going to say cis gendered, that's fucking rude and discriminatory) who are also appalled by this sticker.

As for me, I'm somewhere in the middle. It might be distasteful, but I obviously know it wasn't made with the mindset of upsetting anyone. I saw it more akin to the Christmas episode of Bob's Burgers that recently aired. Kinda similae since the actor voicing Cleavage to Beaver/Miss Triple X-Mas is Todrick Freakin' Hall. Can I just say how much I adore him? He's such a wonderful and talented human being.

I doubt it's a tribute though, but still.

How is the sticker offensive in any way? It's not degrading, it's not insulting, and it's not crude for the sake of being crude. Also it's not making a 'joke' out of the drag community, it's just a harmless pun?

A friend of mine is a Queen and has literally made this same joke to me before.

I can definitely see how it might be perceived by some as offensive, but there is no universally agreed-upon topic anywhere out there. There will always be some who find things distasteful or offensive and we're unlikely to ever find a middle ground between the two sides.

While I'm not a Queen, my two cents is that this item is innocuous and largely harmless, and I don't think it's problematic at large to keep it on site and the way it is.

I think it's lighthearted fun and funny. It's not a deep statement, it's just a pun. I like puns.

The Subeta lore and community is highly trans inclusive. Of all the battles to pick, this isn't the one.

Cisgender literally just means someone whose gender identity matches what they were assigned at birth like what. I'm cisgender. There's nothing rude or discriminatory about a statement that's akin to calling myself blond.

Cis is literally a latin word. It means 'this side of'. Trans is the latin word for 'across'.

ITT: Subeta needs more queens, but they're all too busy being fabulous. :P

Another "I'm not a drag queen but" comment, I suppose that it does not matter. I'm also a sucker for wordplay. Intent can matter, it's not from hate,* and it was more punny than another: "did you know that winter is cold? but only for half of the planet. it's probably cold. Have a cold thing sticker."

*[sub]that is, usually people that want to be horrible don't try to hide it. It's not clever, it's not possible to think that it's meant as anything else. They say their thing, typically loudly and obnoxiously, and then you'll die just a little more inside.[/sub]

I thought it was cute, speaking as a trans person (though not a drag queen). It kind of felt to me like it was turning the usual meaning of something being "a drag" around and making it apply to good things -- holidays are good, drag queens are good, therefore the holidays = drag -- which is a nice idea and an amusing pun.

It's a picture of a drag queen with a pun on it how is it offensive to the LGBTQ community?The image isn't making drag queens out to be ugly or anything and the description is extremely generic.Subeta is the last website you'll see trying to offend the LGBTQ community.

We get threads for piddly things like this all the time. I remember when there was that Ebola outbreak a year or so ago, someone bitched about the Bowl of Ebola item for being insensitive, when said item has been around for ages and wasn't made to poke fun at the disease. It's just a silly food item.

There was also the fetus gummies and pops, the harvested organs and even some pets like the GY Terracoon being called "too insensitive".

As horrible as I sound, some things are better off keeping to yourself or sharing privately with others that feel the same way you do, because when you make it public, you open yourself to all kinds of opinions in response; including those who don't see or feel what you see or feel.

Oh, I'm aware. And tired of it.

What amuses me is that everyone so far who's posted about it being distasteful/offensive/bigoted? Not a drag queen. But the users who asked their drag queen friends? Queens were amused by the sticker, approved of it, or found it cute. pointed out that it's literally the name for a drag show in Cali. If the sticker was really that bigoted, hateful or mocking, you can bet your ass that those queens would've called that shit out when asked.

And as far as the item art goes? idk, I don't remember people taking to the forums like this when this item was released: Maybe it lacks puns.

I just really dislike it when I see online shit along the lines of "this is offensive/bigoted/hateful for -insert group here-! I am not actually a member of the group, but I am Tumblr-levels of Woke[sup]TM[/sup]. I am offended on their behalf, I know their issues better than they do, and I will fight this battle for them." It just makes you and the group you're "fighting for" look bad. :/ And no, this is not directed at the OP because it happens way too often on all social media platforms.

Everyone's feelings are valid, you're allowed to be offended, but like... maybe let these people have their own voice instead of speaking for them.

See, that's what the problem right there is. It's describing people who aren't 'trans'. Why can't we just call people, people? Why bring gender or sexuality into it? Why label things when labels are what we try to break through? Nobody likes being labeled. It creates friction and discourse.

'cisgendered' means that you are within a normative range of gender, but aren't we at the LBGTQ+ community working to change that? What of those who are fluid-gendered? It creates that binary construct that leaves us feeling pushed out, because it means that there is a binary and not anything fluid, including transgender people. It's ridiculous to use such a term when we are trying to be more than just one or the other, or neither.

That's why it's incredibly rude and discriminatory.

BACK TO THE STICKER

My two cents is: learn to make a joke at your own expense, not everyone wants a fight to be started over the tiniest goddamn thing on a fucking VPS (above statement is irl-oriented), this site is welcoming to everyone most of the time so does anyone truly think that Subeta would have made this sticker in a mean-spirited way?

ALSO:

I want you all to be honest with yourselves. Have you ever made a joke similar to this, or of the same caliber? What are your immediate thoughts to things you don't like or agree with? Are those thoughts immediately pushed away because you then feel bad for doing something or saying something or thinking something that will make someone upset because let's be honest, someone's always going to be upset no matter what.

I bet if you stopped at your initial reaction and studied it closely, you'd find some surprising things. I wonder how many of you thought it was clever or smiled briefly only to stop and feel bad and then fight to defend people to make it right. It's okay to laugh at something as innocuous as this. It's okay to think what you think and be honest with yourself and others. If you think it might hurt someone, you don't have to tell them, or you can gently and hopefully they are patient enough to listen and still be your friend anyways, because you need to respect yourselves more than you do now. It's okay to think differently and be okay with other people thinking differently as well.

It's because it's a direct (and extremely accurate) reference. It's harder to misinterpret the intent in a case like that.

Stop making a mountain out of a mole hill. Calling someone cisgendered is the same as calling someone blond.

And btw, using trans but refusing to use cis because 'cis people are just people' is really gross and says that trans people are Other and Different. And they're fucking not. They're people. You're being transphobic.

And ANOTHER btw, people LOVE labels. People love to label themselves, because it makes them feel secure, understood. They can say 'ah, yes, this thing describes how I feel'. Insisting 'labels are bad' is also gross as fuck. Guess what? You don't speak for the entire LGBT+ community.

I greatly enjoy the sticker, and as others have said, do not think it's offensive. I would think drag queens, who frequently and purposefully put themselves in the spotlight by performing on stage, on tv, in music videos, etc, wouldn't mind someone lightly goofing around with a drag-related pun on a petsite.

This is what I thought. It's a play on the idea of holidays being a drag, and reversing it. Essentially they're saying holidays are awesome and fabulous (drag queens often find the silver lining/bright side/etc. by making fun).
