Sure... But you're using a bad example. And I think that's part of the point... lots of people are lumping things in that just isn't a "drag show" into it to make it out that people like me are anti-whatever.
If we use your example... It's not a drag show... it's a character. One that was put on specifically for comedy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dame_Edna_Everage "Drag" isn't even mentioned on the page. Dressing in drag and putting on a comedy show isn't the same as a "drag show". Eg. RuPaul's proclivity to pole dance and emulate sexual acts on that particular televised series.
I specifically AGREED with you that you were right that all shows are not necessarily pornographic... The fuck dude? Are you dumb?
No... mandating a corporate retreat to be at any potentially sexual shows are or anything even remotely related to those topics. But you're so hung up on some random fucking minutia that you can't see the forest for the trees.
Any place that MANDATES this would be sued. So no. You're wrong.
You can bring up whatever platitudes you want about "cam girls". Mandating ANYTHING sexual in any form is literally company authorized sexual harassment. It's a big no-no.
Why is drag sexual to you?
Homie is to far in the closet. idk if he can hear you.
From their own link. It's not "me".
Hmm, seems like all ages isn't sexual.
So you ignore the former due to the latter? And then expect to have a reasonable conversation on the matter.
So Hitler was okay because in his life he ranged from Genocidal maniac to an artist?
You guys are fucking crazy.
Yeah, it's almost like there's nuance with this topic. Drag is not inheritly sexual.
You didn't just bring up Hitler in a conversation about drag, right? That's pretty fucking crazy.
And yet it's used by a source that I didn't bring up to help describe it. Almost... like... it actually is. But you do you.
Man, tell me you didn't know the world was gonna roll you without telling me you didn't know the world was gonna roll you, amirite?
yes it is?
you're thinking of burlesque. Burlesque has implied nudity, drag shows are comedic.
From the link @cypher linked at this post https://lemmy.world/comment/2475000.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_show
Using sources that people have linked AGAINST me... It shows the same thing I've been talking about. Just because all of them aren't this way doesn't mean that it's magically okay to do as a mandated corporate event.
Just because you don't highlight 'all ages events' doesn't mean it's not part of the quote
It's in the quote as a RANGE of possibilities. Meaning that the show ranges from NC17 to PG. The fact that half of the range is inappropriate for corporate events is literally sufficient evidence that it's not suited for a MANDATED corporate event.
Is going to a movie theater inappropriate for a corporate event? After all, movies range from NC17 to G also. You might say no, you can choose what movie to see and it's simple to pick one that's not graphic and appropriate for work. And I would say, it's the same way with drag shows.
