You can't publicly make threats to shoot and blow up a place then be scared and shocked when the FBI shows up...

I have nothing but empathy when it comes to the racism she's faced from the drag race community at large, she's been through a lot of really horrific shit. That said, this apology 100% deflects all of the blame and escalating things to threats of mass physical violence is uncalled for, and she deserves all of the consequences. It's incredibly disingenuous for her to connect this to over-policing of black communities because girl, we saw the posts, they came off as threats of violence.



I also watched Drag U and she was a professor for a season, but she was also dull as fuck in the single episode she was on. While Ru and WoW could have maybe done more to tide off the threats and bullying, her career is her career and it's up to her to elevate her platform.



All that said, I hope she finds peace and happiness within herself and no longer feels the need to lash out against others soon. I think there have been a lot of fruitful and important conversations about racism within the drag race fandom within the past few weeks (thanks to queen the Vixen) and they need to be ongoing.

"threats of mass physical violence"



where tho? she only told people not to attend. no doubt she has anger management issues but this was seriously blown out of proportion. had she made those threats, authorities would have arrested her a long time ago.

-She warned people not to attend.







-She set a timer on her website that said B.O.O.M that counted down to the day of DragCon.



they all point to a threat of some kind of action, they wouldn't have made warrants and shown up for nothing. her original plan was to set up a tent outside and host her own little alternative, no one asked her to escalate things like this. -She posted a drawing on instagram of the LA convention center on fire.-She warned people not to attend.-She set a timer on her website that said B.O.O.M that counted down to the day of DragCon.they all point to a threat of some kind of action, they wouldn't have made warrants and shown up for nothing. her original plan was to set up a tent outside and host her own little alternative, no one asked her to escalate things like this.

She’s definitely one of the most undeserving winners, but a lot of white queens had no business winning but because they’re white they were able to be UNT and succeed where as because Tyra is black and thusly got shit.



No comment on Tyra’s overall attitude though.

the amount of hate that she got despite absolutely deserving her win has never not been crazy to me. shannon and alaska literally dressed up as nazis, trixie and that anne frank sketch she's so proud of, eureka's whole existence -- all are somehow less threatening to rpdr fans than a black queen not forcing herself to be overly polite to make white ppl feel good

This argument no longer works for Tyra because she has made a career out of being an asshole. He was threatening harm and they called the fbi, he deserved it. Everything else is just irrelevant at this point.

i'm not saying she doesn't deserve to be critiqued for being hateful in her own right (she do) but ppl are kidding themselves if they think that her bitterness/craziness isn't at least partly derived from a decades worth of racist bullying

ia, tyra is not the warmest personality, that much is clear but the fact that she got heaps of shit and racist threats against her while violet, who was also shady and also underwhelmed at points during her season, gets off pretty scot free shows that black people are hyper-scrutinized.

i think tyra was on the right track when she was doing her dear drag race fans series and rightfully coming for those who came for her, but she pushed it way too fucking far when she threatened to shoot tati and phi phi and blow up drag con

This is so true, and what she said about her being the winner but them pushing the other queens is true as well.



I'm not trying to make excuses for her, but I do think the racial hate pushed her over the edge. she is definitely wrong for making threats and saying the things she said. She has damaged her own career in alot of ways and could have and may still get herself in serious legal trouble or land in jail for the things she has threatened.



Still I believe the things she says and have followed her on twitter for years. The white rpdr fans have always been awful to her.

Can people FINALLY stop with their fan-fiction fantasies about how this woman is a poor, trapped soul with a heart of gold just waiting to break free? She's a worthless, useless piece of trash who worked in the U.S. illegally and is now in a perpetual tantrum that her golddigging landed her in the White House.

Tbh no one should really be surprised by this, she's a racist just like her husband and has given interviews supporting his birther nonsense, the things he's said about Mexican and Muslim immigrants, and the wall. She's a "well *I* did it legally!" immigrant.

Nnnn right this bitch literally tweeted folks warning then not to go to Dragcon then started a countdown for the day of Dragcon with the word B.O.OM on it. Then posted that pic of what looked like a smoke cloud over a building and tagged it dragcon, but WOW and fans only called the FBI, because they're racist and they want to paint her as the villain, bitch BYE.

MTE. I can’t believe so many people are defending her. Other people have been arrested for much less. She should be happy that the FBI didn’t press charges, and she absolutely deserves any lawsuits WOW hits her with because of the possible impact of lost sales and attendance.

I wouldn't call it discriminatory especially bc I doubt most cis queens give any fucks about that but why would you purposefully refuse to use female pronouns about the ones who appreciate it?

Its just a respect thing. Depending on the queen the pronouns are different. Some prefer they/them out of drag and she/her in drag. Its not hard to respect someone's wishes on how they identify just like anyone else drag queen or not lol I'm not a Bob fan so idk how they identify. Misogyny is a thing for sure but to generalize and just assume they all are that way, nope. The ones I pay attention to praise women and that's the whole reason they dress up as them bc they admire them.
